When I think of the names listed below, I instantly think of a gender that I associate with that name. What about the rest of you? When you hear these names, do you see them as more appropriate for a male or for a female?

That's tough for me...
I think "Morgan" is one of the most uni-sex names out there...
and even though I adore "Quinn" for a girl, I guess it's more of a boys name...

Morgan is for sure a unisex name to me too and one of my favourite names is Aubrey Quinn.

I know only two Morgans... one's a boy... one's a girl... and I like it on both of them.

I voted female for all but the last one - Kieran Culkin is the image there.

Addison - Girl, unfortunately, because I've never seen it being used for a boy.
Teagan - Girl, again never heard of a male Teagan.
Taylor - All boy to me.
Morgan - Girl, it's dying out for boys seemingly.
Quinn - ALl boy.
Kieran - I voted boy, although I've known two in my life - one male and one female.

I've never heard of Quinn as a boy's name, only as a Girl, and I used to know a boy named Addison, but I agree with the rest as well.

Addison - girl, thanks to Grey's Anatomy
Teagan - girl, thanks to band Tegan & Sara
Taylor - girl, thanks to my dad's friend's daughter, also more unisex because I also heard it used for a boy in the band Hanson
Morgan - unisex more than the others, but still a girl's name
Quinn - ALL girl. no way is this a boy's name.
Kieran - ALL boy.

I can't imagine Quinn being a female name and I've never heard of Kieran so I didn't vote for that one.

[holly-megan.livejournal.com]

Addison - Boy, but I think that's because I know it as a guy's last name.
Teagan - Girl, even though the only one I know is a boy.
Taylor - BOY! Taylor Hanson, I'm sorry. 100% boy.
Morgan - Boy, I love it as a guys name.
Quinn - Boy.
Kieran - I thought of Kieran Culkin, so that's a little biased.

I like girly names for boys, I can't help it.

Addison-All boy...the meaning SON of Adam and since when is son a girl!!!!
Teagan-Girl
Taylor- Unisex but i like it on a girl more
Morgan-Unisex but i like it on a girl
Quinn-All boy
Kieran-All boy

I hate boys names on girls and vice versa

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

I voted girl for Morgan and boy for Taylor but really I like those names on both genders.

I'm surprised Addison is winning the girls by so much - that name seems clearly boyish to me. I guess it's the Madison thing. Actually, I really don't like Addison at all. It's too girly for a boy and too boyish for a girl. I just don't get the appeal either way.

[iljjc.livejournal.com]

Me too. I've known/heard of quite a few Taylors, both male and female. I just went with girl, since the Taylor I knew most recently was a girl...

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

i have never heard teagan for a boy.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Taylor is 100% unisex to me. But I put "male" since it just seems more of a boy's name to me.

[jenniferdunn.livejournal.com]

Morgan and Taylor IMO should be boy's names.. *sigh* and Quinn for a boy?.. yikes.

[ferretiger.livejournal.com]

Addison only makes me think of the street.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I hate Addison too. It's just not nice-sounding at ALL. I don't see the appeal, other than "omg Madison is too popular so we're gonna drop the M!"

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

Addison is so ugly. I hate that name. I can't believe some people actually voted girl on Kieran. WTF?!

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Kieran on a girl, 97 of you... wtf!?

[cassandrakfreaq.livejournal.com]

My son's name is morgan

[sayga.livejournal.com]

you really should've had a "unisex" or "no sex association" answer with them. i have NO preconceived notion when i hear Taylor or Morgan, and my sister says she doesn't have one for any of the names except Addison, which she says is a girls name. if i met someone who said something like, "i have a 4 year old named Morgan" i would not venture a guess for "he" or "she" i would just ask which it was.
