I actually like this name for an evil male antagonist myself because it has that 'evil' sounding vibe to it. Such a sinister name for a male character—particularly a villain!

Love this name on a man.

Only nice on a boy in my opinion.

I much prefer Parisa.

I feel like Paris is a unisex name. I LOVE Paris on girls, and it’s nice on boys as well.

I don't mind this being used as a name since it was a name before it was a place, but it does remind me a lot of the city.

I prefer the Persian name Parisa for a girl, meaning like a fairy. I like it on a boy mainly.

This is the name of my dear love. He was the first male Paris I ever met, and has much in common with what is typically associated with the Shakespearean/Greek name and its numerological characteristics. He is generous, romantic, very into the arts (perhaps unsurprisingly, a Shakespeare expert!), passionate, extremely good looking, as well as humanitarian, compassionate, strongly supportive of diversity and equal rights... everything except a misogynist! It is a wonderful name for a man.

Paris is such an awesome boy's name! I would use it for a boy, but I don't like it as a girl's name.

The name Paris was given to 87 baby boys born in the US in 2012. I prefer it on a boy and I wish it was used more often on boys instead of for girls after the city... No offense but it seems a little tacky to me.

I like this name for girls, don't get me wrong, but I LOVE this name for boys. I love its history and it just makes me think of someone strong.

As with Ariel, I like it for a boy, but not for a girl.

I hate when people are named after cities. Sorry to all the Austins and Madisons out there, but names should either be for cities or for people. Also, people always seem to forget that Paris was the name of someone other than the capital of France. Paris was a Trojan hero who wasn't very successful except in the killing of Achilles. Frankly, I don't like either of the uses of this name.

I actually love this name for a boy, as it's strong and has deep roots in mythology. However, to anyone considering using it as such, I'd wait about 10 years for the association with the world famous whore, and the unlucky girls named this have aged out of primary school. Yet another name that Hollywood and the media have ruined (or at least damaged) for the rest of us.

I really don't like it on a boy. It doesn't seem masculine to me. I think it is really pretty on a girl though.

I used to think this was a really lovely name for a boy, because Paris in the myths is very beautiful. Hate it for girls, though.

This name is very masculine to me. I have no idea why. I used to like it a lot as well, until Paris Hilton came along and ruined it.

Just because Paris is stupid doesn't mean the name Paris is ruined. And it doesn't mean that a kid named Paris is going to be stupid. My cousin's name is Paris and personally I don't think she is stupid at all.

Paris is a Greek name and it is masculine. I always feel strange when I come across women called Paris because it is not a female name. I mean have you ever met a woman named Peter or Michael? It's just weird.

There actually are some women named Michael! But I know what you mean. To a Greek ear in particular it must seem odd. However, since it's the name of the city, it derives from this, coincidentally, instead of the male name, I think.
