My best friend's name is Kerrie and although I know boys with the name I just can't get past it being a girl's name.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I love Kerry for a boy, but I'd probably not use it, at least as a first name, because it's become so common for girls.

[amspeck-myworld.livejournal.com]

I've known Kerry's and Cary's on boys, which is why I think of it as a boy's name, and I think it's quite nice :)

My favorites from your girl's list are: Aria, Clare, Johanna, Georgiana, and Melody.

From your girl's list I'm not fond of: Meredith, Robyn, Allegra, Blair, Renee, Cambria, Allison

My favorites from your boy's list are: Malcolm, Geoffery, Joel, Clayton, Adair

From your boy's list, I'm not fond of: Devon/Devin (my sister's name so I think of it as a girl's name), Jamie (again, more girl to me), Duncan, Brock,

I really like Kerry as a girl's name, but I have a harder time seeing it on a boy. It's alright.

For the girls, I love a lot of the names on your list, especially Frances and Johanna. Frances is my middle name :) I also like Cassandra, Aria, Cambria, Allegra. I'm not a fan of Jocelyn or Ophelia.

For the boys, I like Jamie, Duncan, Geoffrey and Malcolm the best, but there aren't any that I really dislike.

I have a male cousin called Kerry, and I've always really liked it on him. Because it's not an exclusively girls name like Cheryl or Kate it's never been a big problem and it's much easier to get used to, if that makes sense. None of his mates think of him as having a girls name.

From your list I like:
Ophelia
Jacqueline
Frances
Allison

my name is carrie, and i dont mind kerry for boys. i know two guys named kerry (one is spelled cary) its always kind of funny for me, but i dont mind it.

from your list, i like:
ophelia - wanted to name my first daughter this, all through high school
cassandra - love it, but i dont like the nn cassie, so i could never use it
meredith - my cousins name, i love it
clare - i prefer claire, but its a favorite of mine for sure, its beautiful
georgiana - i have a good friend named georgie-anna, which is a bit different, not as classy, but i prefer georgia anyway, i would never use either, but they are both very pretty

edward - very nice, cant go wrong, i plan on using it as a middle name after my grandfather
devin - my best friends sons name, always thought it was a girls name, until he was born and now its absolutely perfect for him, prefer the i spelling
jamie - i have always always loved this name for a boy, i dont know why, though i would probably name a boy james or jameson and only call him jamie
duncan - guilty pleasure of mine
dylan - love bob, love the name, but it perhaps is a little dated, seemed to be trendy in the early 90s or something

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i knew of a boy named kerrington who went by kerry. i'm not a huge fan, but i guess it's okay.

i like:
Aria
Clare
Frances - middle name
Blair

Devon/Devin
Jamie - though i prefer james
Clayton
