Which unisex names do you feel shouldn't be unisex?

For example, while the name Logan is used for both boys and girls, you feel it's masculine and should only be used for boys.

I'm sure I have more examples of this but I was just talking to my husband yesterday about the name "Brooklyn". It has two very girly names contained within it, Brook + Lyn yet, so many boys are being named Brooklyn. I blame Posh Spice. Also, as an aside, I hate the name altogether.

Yes I've known an older man named Linn. Doesn't detract from the fact that Brook and Lyn are very girly sounding names.

Are you not from the US? Because Brook(e) is mostly a girl's name here.

Okay.

I went to school with a Brooke-Lynne, which was definitely feminine. I don't think Brooklyn is a name, male or female.

Agreed on all counts.

Also.. and don't hate me folks, but am I the only one who thinks naming your kid Brooklyn would be like naming them Richmond, Compton, or East L.A.?
