I am not pregnant, but am getting clucky, so i am pouring over the internet looking at baby websites and whatnot. I've even started an online list of names i like! If i had a choice, i would want a baby girl, hence having a million girl names. I actually really love asexual names,like Dylan for example (thats both my brothers name and a female friends name) but am stumped to come up with many on my own. my husband likes anciant greek names, i would lvoe to clal a daughter Hecate, but wouldnt due to the bad "heathen witch" connotations".

girl:
Cameo
Madison
Ivy
Cadence
Cady
Cecil
Cecilia
Constantine

boy:
Xander
Spike


either:
Darcy

does anyone have any ideas for names that can be used for either?

Jordan is my favorite either-gender name. I just adore it.
How about Taylor or Alex? My best friend (male) is named Alex. Just Alex, not Alexander...

sorry if I'm not much help.

here's a website I found that doesn't offer much help, but a little maybe

hey thats a great site. i'm finding lots of names that i';ve always liked but never remembered. thanks!

Kennedy :) thats what my baby is going to be called if she is a girl, but i beleive it's pretty universal.

[infernosgirl.livejournal.com]

Kennedy is a good one as well as Jordan. However I like Jordyn for a girl.

Darcy doesnt seem to be a unisex name to me... probablly because my daughters name is Darcie... but.

[imajika.livejournal.com]

Ahh yes Kennedy i like, but only for a girl. i guess i want to mix it up a little, mess around with gender sterotyping. Courtney was traditionally a male name, but has since changed to a female name. I'd love to clal a boy Courtney but my husband would never allow that. pfft.

Darcy is a great unisex name. i have a male cat called Darcy,Theres Mr Darcy from pride and predjudice[ok so it's a last name there, but it still works] and then theres Darcy, the female bassist from Smashing Pumpkins.As far as i can tell, it works well for both sexes. Also, every darcy i have known has been very cheeky. Is your daughter a cheeky thing?

[infernosgirl.livejournal.com]

she was when she was born. Not so much now. Shes a tall little thing though.

I love the name Xander for a boy. It's one on my list for next time around.

Cadence (in your girl name list) is starting to become quite popular. But, it's still a beautiful name.

Isn't Cecil a male name? (It was my fiance's grandpa's name.) Unless you mean Cecille?

[imajika.livejournal.com]

heh, yes cecil is a male name, but for soem reason it would be a lovely feminine name to me. I names my first guitar Cecil. guitars, like boats and cars, are generally feminine, and Cecil worked well. granted, a baby is not a guitar or a boat, so it may not work as well. but i guess i could always call her cecilia and nickname her cecil. tee hee.

xander and spike....Like buffy much *giggles*

I am pregnant now, and our name if it's a girl is Meckenzie Paulette...if that helps any.

[imajika.livejournal.com]

haha, yes buffy is a big faveorite here. If i could get away with it, i'd totally call a daughter buffy!

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

lol, figures. you might get away with sarah michelle....

[queen-exene.livejournal.com]

for either i really like Dylan, as you do. also Darby, instead of Darcy.
I think Constantine is nice for a boy, too.

i love Hecate. good name. don't worry about the connotations. maybe then people will leave her alone :) i like the name brujita (broo-heeta) which means little witch in spanish... <3

[imajika.livejournal.com]

haha, little witch! thats so cute.

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

I love Madison but it's become SO common. :/ At my last office job, 3 of my 10 coworkers had daughters named Madison!

Cady is adorable, as is Cecelia. Have you only gone through C names so far? *teases* ;)

I love both of the boys names you chose, too!!

[imajika.livejournal.com]

hehe, well actuallyi just love C names. It's probably because my name is Cassandra, so c names appeal to me.:)yeah madison is really common now, it's just so stylish now.

excuse me? do you live with your head in the sand? Spike Lee? Spike Milligan? Spike Jonze? It's only a name for a pet if you give your pet that name. I wasn't aware that this was a ratings community for baby names.

[imajika.livejournal.com]

i wasn't asking for an opinion, i was asking for more suggestions to add to my list.i don't need approval from strangers as to what i name my child. you however replied in not a polite manner, but a very patronising manner.if you don't like a name, you should give real reasons as to why you don't think it's a good idea, notjust say "PLEASE don't name your child spike, it's a name for a pet."

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Whoa. The rules are clear, if you want to share an opinion, do it respectfully. It looks to me like she did, I don't see a reason for getting so defensive. It's a baby name community, if you can't handle opinions on what you post, Don't Post.

girl:
Cameo-makes me think of a cameo spot on a movie, so no
Madison-I like it, but way to popular now a days
Ivy-pretty
Cadence-love it
Cady- a nickname for Cadence
Cecil-not my taste
Cecilia - makes me think of a old lady
Constantine-reminds me of the movie

boy:
Xander-not my taste
Spike-definetely not my taste


either:
Darcy-i think of it for just a girl
the name that i like for both sexes is Morgan.

[dodecahedron.livejournal.com]

my favorite greek name for a girl is (I don't know if I'm spelling it right): Illiada [ill-e-ah-dah]. It just rolls off the tongue and sounds SO beautiful.

As far as unisex names my favorite (being a nature freak) is:
Sierra
my name is Jordan, and I picked it, so I also really like that name
Alex
Rory
Jessie
Jaime
There's a lot more unisex names here (http://www.cool-baby-names.com/search-categories-unisex.htm)

[dodecahedron.livejournal.com]

*Idylla
spelling maybe? I don't know.

[estrella-jenita.livejournal.com]

just thought i'd let you know that there's a brand of ciggarettes called 'cameo' so that might not be the best choice

[dingo83.livejournal.com]

For either names I like Riley and Taylor.
As for yours, I like these:
girl:
Madison
Ivy
Cadence
Cady
Cecilia

boy:
Xander
