http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex_names scroll down to J for Jocelyn.

although i'll give you that btn considers Joscelin a feminine spelling... but it looks more masculine to me.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I'm not suggesting Joscelin can't be a boys name, just that I don't like it at all on a boy...

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

oh okay, sorry lmao... i misread it. :)

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Rowan for a girl is SO cute! I really like Autumn too.

Boys: I like Adrian, Alexander, Finn.
It's weird seeing Lindsay on a boys list because that is my MUMS name!
Also, I know a Nikita, but it's a girl, not a boy.

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

I really like taking unisex names that are considered girls' names these days and using them for boys. Although that will never happen for me with Ashley... I don't even like the name in general lol. :)

Nikita is a boy's name in Russia, but a girl's name in France.

I actually have no idea whether Rowan can be used for girls, but it doesn't sound so incredibly masculine that it'd be strange... lol.

Isn't Rowan Brooke Shield's daughter? It is more of a girl's name to me. I find your names to be quite out there, but some of them I like.

Emmanuelle* - Emanuel is on my top 6 boys names, so no way.
Magdalena* - It's ok.
Nazaire* - I don't even know how to say this one. It sounds like medication.
Shahrazad - No way.
Adele* - Pretty
Natalka - Weird. It looks like a typo for Natalia.
Renee* - NMS, and bad assosciations
Kennedy - It's ok.
Sylva* - Interesting. I like it better than Sylvia, but I don;'t really like it.
Meredith - LOVE IT!
Devan - No way
Morgan - I like it better for boys
Ariadne* - Another typo...
Anastasia - Ok
Desdemona - Interesting. NMS
Audrey* - Pretty
Sophie - Pretty
Jocelyn/Joscelin - I always think of jostling boobs, and I only know one nice one.
Alexandra - LOVE IT!
Christiane - LOVE IT!
Siobhan - I prefer Sabine. Is it even the same?
Leanan - Nope
Rowan - ok
Adrienne* - Pretty
Katya - Ok
Autumn - Pretty
Noemi - I like it

boys
Arjen* - huh.
Eli* - Love it
Adrian* - NMS
Alexander* - LOVE IT
Damien - NMS
Shelby* - I only know girls with this name.
Devan - no
Lindsay - Um...GIRL'S NAME
Mordecai - ok, but nms
Joscelin* - weird.
Dominic - LOVE IT
Dmitri* - Like it
Alexei* - ok
Nikita - weird
Rowan* - for a girl...
Mircea (Meer-chuh.. romanian name) - I kind of like it!
Tristan - like it
Caleb - LOVE IT
Finn - LOVE IT

(note: by explaning the names i like, by no means am i trying to say 'OMG YOU MUST LIKE MY NAMES WAAAAAH!'. i just like to explain things.)

Natalka is the Ukranian form of Natalie. Ariadne is a name from greek mythology. :) Siobhan is pronounced 'shi-vahn'.

i would never name a child Shahrazad or Desdemona, lmao... but i think they're interesting names from literature (random: desdemona means 'ill-fated.' definitely couldn't use it on a kid lol).

Shelby started out as a boy's name. not sure if Lindsay was *originally* a boy's name... or if it depends on the area... but yeah. like i said in the other comments, i've really gotten into using unisex name more for boys.

i'm glad you like Mircea and Finn though! i definitely could never use it on a kid, no-one would ever pronounce it correctly, but if i lived in romania i'd use it in a heartbeat. i think Finn is adorable for a boy and debonaire for when he gets older. ;D

Katya! It's so cool to see my name up there (even if the spelling is different) since no one knew about it when I was growing up! :D
