Baby boy names such as Avery and Dakota are now far more popular for girls. Check out our list of masculine names that have taken a decidedly feminine turn.
Celebrity examples
We can always count on celebrity parents for baby name inspiration — and using boy names for girls is definitely on trend among the rich and famous.
Some celebs paired a masculine first name with a feminine middle name.
Others opted to use the boy name in the No. 2 spot. James (or Jaymes) is particularly popular.
Or, give your daughter two masculine names, like country singer Joe Nichols did when he named his baby girl Dylan River.
