I was wondering what everyone thought of the name Chase for a girl? I really like unisex names, but my boyfriend says Chase sounds too much like a guy name to him. I also like Aidan for a girl.

Both of those are definitely male names, but that never stopped the parents of the Madisons, Lauren/Lorins, Taylors of the world. ;)
Aidan is a pretty name. I don't usually like names meant for the opposite sex, but that one is cute.

Having never met a Chase or even heard of that name before, I don't associate it with any particular gender and could accept it as a unisex name.

Aidan I definitely feel is a boy's name.

Hmm yeah I think Chase has been used on girls/women. That could work. It's quite cute.

Aidan is all boy though. In fact it's pretty trendy right now, that might not work.

I think Chase could do as a girls name. There is a designer on TLC and her name is chase. But Aiden is definetly a boys name to me.. but dont let that stop you if you like it.

I agree! I think Chase could easily be a girls name (I love TLC!) but Aiden I associate more w/ boys also.

Chase is really pretty for a girl. i've heard of people who named their girl Chandler, which i've only ever heard of as a boys name. And i know of someone who named their daughter Owen.

yeah, Chase sounds a bit guy-ish for a girl's name (though it could be good for a middle name?). I think Aiden (or Aidyn?) is cute for a girl. i've never come across it as a unisex name though, but i think it could work.

I've see one girl named Aidan so far. I've actually see female Hunters, now thats a bit extreme in my opinion.

A friend from high school named her daughter Hunter- I don't like it. It was my friends maiden name so that's the name she gave her daughter- but still, I don't like it!

Its like naming your son Julie, its too boyish.

i think Aidan and Chase are boy names (i guess im just used to seeing boys with those names)

i don't like chase. period. for a boy or a girl.

but aidan... i never knew it was a boy's name until these past few years as it's become popular. i went to school and graduated with a girl named aeden. so, to me, it can be pretty feminine. i even like how her parents spelled it... even if it's not quite my style.

I'm not too big on Chase and Aidan for baby names either. But if I could change my name I think I'd change it to Chase, I think it suits me. I think Aidan got popular because of The Ring. Ever since that movie came out I've seen tons of babies with the name Aidan.

I prefer Chase to Aidan if used on a girl, but really I prefer girl names on girls. The whole trend of using boy names is not my thing.

i know some girl chase's and i think its a really nice name.
aidan is too trendy, in my opinion.

Aidan on a girl= no no. It seems too masculine to me, and I know so many male Aidans I can't picture it on a girl at all.
Chase on a girl= Definitely! I think it's really cute on a little girl. So spunky and tomboyish. :)

I really wouldn't use those names on mu future daughter. I always thought Chase was a last name.

Chase was Nicole Kidman's Character in the 3rd Batman movie with Val Kilmer :) so i associate it with that

Well, back in colonial time, girl names now, were used as boy names, and i think chase is fine for a girl.

Here are a few unisex names that i know of:

Kelly [I know a boy by this name]
Quinn [go figure]
Taryn [One of the kids on Home Improvement had this first name]
Madison [amazing, but yes, it was originally a man's name]
Morgan [I knew by a boy by this name]
Brett [Grace Under Fire was a TV show, it was cancelled but the main character was played by Brett Butler]
Corey [I knew a girl by this name, and grew up with a boy by this name]
Ashley [yes, Ashley]
Lauren

[If you watch Dr. Quinn, medicine woman, you would have realized the amount of names that are considered to be feminine used as a boy name]

I always find myself drawn to unisex names. I named my daughter Rylee (Riley). I think Chase for a girl is kind of cute. I had to say it a couple of times before I could picture it for a girl, but I like it.

i like chase for a girl... i like the spelling 'Chaise' better.... but aiden is more male IMO
