I still have a long time to pick, but I want some opinions.
I like the name Addison for a girl, do you think it's too fruity for a boys name? My fiance says it's "gay" sounding.
What are some good shortforms for Addison?

Also, Which spelling do you like for Zach? Zack, Zak? I always liked Zak but after being here I'm starting to think it's trying to sound cool, hah.
My fiances last name is Storozuk.
Zak Storozuk? It looks and sounds weird, right? 

EDIT-
NO It will not be just Zach/Zack, those would be the nn's.
Most people get called the shortened form more often than their full name.

Am I over analyzing?
Thanks!

why not go Zachary Storozuk and call him Zak. that way, it looks less weird?

also, i do think its too foofy for a boy's name. mostly because i think addison and i think grey's anatomy. i have always liked Addie as a nm for addison or adelaide

Addison is one of my most favorite girl names.

[x0xjenniferx0x.livejournal.com]

Addie would be a good short name.

I don't think Addison is 'gay' sounding (dear God), but it is used on girls way more often than it's used on boys, so he would probably be mistaken for a girl on paperwork, etc. Honestly, I think Addison is a terrible name for a boy or a girl. It's the epitome of trendiness. It's also the name of a disease.

Zach, as a nickname for Zachary, is good, but Zachary/Zach Storozuk is kind of a mouthful.

I don't know anybody named Addison that's one thing I liked about it :/
thanks for your input though

I'd say a boy with a girls name is pretty fruity.
I realise it's not the most political correct thing ever, but that's life.

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

I have other options lol, these are the two I have stupid little problems with.
And I agree about the K sounds. I liked zach before I met my fiance, he's just making it difficult.
Alot of my favorite names have that hard K sound. >:(

Oh I've never watched that show.
Addison came up because my fiance likes Madison but I don't..

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

See I thought it was a boys name at first too,and most baby name sites Ilook at say it's unisex. And it grew on me as a girls name..I didn'tknow there was an influx of that name on either side.
I still don'tknow any!

Actually, mines Fitzpatrick so not really haha
too many z's and k's

The only Addison I've ever known was a boy. However, he spelled it Adyson. And he was born in 1987, his mother was so ahead of her time.

Um, names can't be "gay."

Addison is a boy's name. People have suddenly decided to use it on girls, but it is awful sounding on them. I hate it on boys, too, but it is marginally better. I mean, seriously. Probably one of the trendiest names ever right now.

Zach or Zack is the right spelling. Zak looks way too creative and definitely trying too hard to look cool. It definitely looks and sounds weird with your fiance's last name.

Wow, I've never seen a person overwhelmed by letters, particularly Ks and Zs. But that's kinda cool, actually. Plus, if these are your problem names, then eliminate them. It makes decision making that much easier.

ANd I agree, Addison is a bit uhh... fruity sounding for a guy.

I like Zach the best when paired with the last names.

Or, this is kind of odd, and I'm assuming the full first name would be Zachary or Zackary. Why not, when he's a bit older (maybe 3, maybe 5) let him decide how he prefers to spell Zack/Zach/Zac/Zak. And even still he might change it when he's older.

I remember my hs boyfriend was Jonathan, and went by "Jon" sometimes until he just changed it to "John" - he preferred it that way.

Addison is the new Ashley. It used to be a boys' name, but it isn't anymore.

Just to verify

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

I (actually not even I, my fiance, and some of my friends) said gay sounding, I know a name can't have a sexual preferance.
It's like naming a girl butch or something.
I don't have anything against homosexuals, but I wouldn't want my son being called gay and getting made fun of his whole childhood.
My little brothers name is Gabe Luffman and he gets teased all the time.

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

And I don't get how Addison is so trendy, I don't know anybody with that name. My friends have never heard it before and said it was pretty.
I think it's less trendy and popular than names like Matt or Josh. Christ,I know like 6 Zacks.

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

I'd call it realistic.
Are you so blind to society that you can't recognize that that's how people think?

Ever since Kate Walsh played Addison Montgomery on Grey's Anatomy, the name has been skyrocketing. So it makes sense that you don't know anyone by that name; the tremendous amount of people (mainly girls) called Addison is now about 2 or 3 years old.
But I think by the time your child will be in kindergarten, it will be a common name.

Try going here (babynamewizard) (http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager) and type 'Addison'. You can see it's grown in popularity, especially for girls.

Gosh I hate pop culture.
Thanks for that though:)

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

It's ranked #11 for babies born in 2007, and I'm sure it will probably be even higher for 2008. :-\

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

ya i looked on that website linked below.
I can't believe that >:(

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I do think that Addison is a bit too feminine for a boy, just because ever since I heard it, I always thought it was only a girl's name. It just sounds so girly to me.

And I prefer Zac.

[aimeewins.livejournal.com]

the only Addison I know is a guy, if that means anything to you.

[lilredclithood.livejournal.com]

Now I'm a homophobe because I don't want my son to be harassed?
I don't see how it's an more offensive than everyone here saying Ambrosia Star is a stripper name.
