I can only think of the rock band. It's not a given name, to me, for either a girl or boy.

I love it!! Its really nice, i really like unusual names!

Journey is not a name to me...

My ! are Alia, Eidel, Enola, Israel, Dudel, Yuri, Lina, Lorelei, Leilani, Owen, Julian, Glorinda, Mirinda
My ? are Hillel, Meshullam, Johnny, Ginny, Cordelia, Fiammetta, Yocheved
My ~ are Tehila, Tilda, Hailey, Gillian, Huldah
My / are Aglaia and July

I think it's better for a girl, as are nearly all virtue names. It's attractive, and because it has quite a typical name-y sound, I can separate it from the word when I want to. (Like Grace - I don't think of the noun every time I hear that name, which is probably a good thing.)

---

Elizabeth is a bit of a generic middle name. I think Journey needs something classic but more unusual. Something like Journey Mariana would be gorgeous. Even Journey Katherine, which is that bit more interesting than Elizabeth.

"Yeehaw!" is not a foreign policy!

Its ok, I have seen it used before, but spelled Jurni. I like it for a girl. Journey Elizabeth is nice.

Journey is a boys name to me because I read and seen a show where the little boys name was Journey.

I know a woman (mid-twenties) named Journey. She's a little embarrassed to have been named for the band, but other than that she likes it. I do too, I'd have to say.

It seems a bit masculine to me, though I don't care for it for either gender. It's too much a word for me, as opposed to other word names (like Grace and Hope). I also think of the band, which doesn't bring to mind a little girl. :b

ETA: I just remembered the only "Journey" I've heard of was an actress and character named Jurnee (the actress is Jurnee Smollett) on "Cosby", the show Bill Cosby had after the "Cosby Show" in the 90s. I greatly dislike the Jurnee spelling, though. Blech.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Journey, but I love it more for a boy. I guess my little Escapade just seems more feminine to me.

Still if you like it for a girl...

It's too much of a word name for me. I like Patience, Grace (only as a middle name), and Mercedes (I classify this name as a virtue name). I'm kind of warming up to Remembrance.

---

If I had to choose a gender, then I'd say for a girl. When I've read books or seen lists of virtue names, I've seen it more commonly on a girl, and it just feels more feminine to me. I like Elizabeth, and I think Elizabeth Journey flows better.

Ciarda has a list of virtue names, if you're interested.
