Piper

I like Schuyler but only on a boy.
So probably Miller, so I could call her Millie 100% of the time.

---

Maybe Bailey.

---

Idk, this is really not my style of naming.

Technically, Kay is an occupational surname (for someone who worked near a wharf), but that's boring. I won't do that.

---

I'd go with Archer or Knight - traditional masculine occupations which would be cool on a girl, I guess? Also Archer would make sense if she was a Sagittarius and I put any credence in astrology. And if Knight had a dark and edgy phase, I'm sure she'd appreciate her name being homonymous with Night.

---

Actually scratch that. I'd go with Sargent, for John Singer Sargent, probably my favourite painter.

A few of these I'm quite fond of:

---

Palmer (does this count? not sure if 'pilgrim' is really an occupation)
Mercer
Chase
Gardner
Knight

There is 4S today:
Scarlett
Schuyler
Saylor
Sumner

---

If Scarlett isn't allowed, I'd choose Schuyler.

For my hypothetical daughter, I would choose either Dean (church official) or Ryan (little king). I don't like any of the traditional feminine names that fit this criteria.

If Sage counts then I'd pick that, but it would be for the plant and not as an occupation. Also not sure if it's a surname.

---

Harper or Piper might be my pick, although I prefer them for boys.

---

I knew a girl named Chandler and I think it sounds girly enough, but I wouldn't use it.

---

Cordell on a girl could be called Cora, Cori, or Della.

---

Garnet with BtN's 2nd definition would work.

---

I could see Neely or Neilly on a girl.

---

Heilyn could totally pass as an English girl name, not a surname though.

The only occupation name I find acceptable for girls are Scarlett, Sage and maybe Bailey. The rest are too mannish.

Taylor, Paige, Harper in that order

---

I'd choose Scarlet (dropping the second t) but a) without the second t, it's more of a colour name and b) it's too similar to my own name

Maybe Sumner or Garner?

Fifer or Tinker

Scarlett.

Bailey, Harper, Jäger (is German and means hunter) or Parker

I really like Paige for a girl, so I’d go with that one.

Miller Sage or Quiller Sage

Clary :)

---

Other options:
Spencer
Piper
Scarlett
Clark
Garnet
Tyler "Ty"
Beck
Chase

Ooh, I'll jump on the Sage/Schuyler bandwagon. I much prefer Schuyler for a male but Sage is all-feminine to me... though, I could see why it wouldn't count.

Schuyler “Sky”

Would Queen count? If not, I guess I'd pick Justice over most; after that, it's a tie between Schuyler and Turner.

Piper.

I would probably choose Piper :)
I think Page and Scout could also be cute.
But now that I think about it, I kind of love Miller "Millie", especially if Miller was an honoring surname!

Lorimer is a pretty cool occupational surname. Maybe that one.

Brewer. I'd call her Brew.

Piper

Harper, because I honestly love it.

I have nothing against Sawyer. The rest are either kinda mid or just... no.

---

(Parker is OK, I guess, but Miller is... what's a nice way to say "absolutely not?")
