What are your thoughts on the name Jordan?

Question

Do you prefer it for a girl or a boy?

Is it too common?

If used for a boy, would it sound too girly?

Answer 1

I knew a boynamed Jordan when I was in middle school and my son had a friend named Jordan.  I think it's cute for either, but I think I would chose it for a girl.  And possibly spell it as Jordyn......maybe.  Or make it more feminine by changing it to Jordana (love it!)

Answer 2

I associate Jordan with biblical thoughts. It's awesome with girls and boy's name.

Answer 3

I think it's a very masculine name and personally don't care for it on a little girl. My partner's name is Jordon- this spelling seems to 'butch' it up a little more! I think it's a gorgeous name and he's never had any issues with it either :]

Answer 4

For a girl I love it

Answer 5

I think of it as a boy name but I don't think it's girly. I like both actually!

Answer 6

My black nephew has the name Jordan.  His father named him after the NBA Star Michael Jordan.  You will find that many boys have that name for that reason.  However, I feel it is more of a girls name.  If I have to again choose another baby name, I would not choose a name like Jordan because it would set my child up for future discomfort with being bullied.  His friends would tell him he has a girl's name or she would be told that she has a boy's name.  There are so many names to choose from.  It is not worth the risk.

Answer 7

I LIKE IT FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS.

I KNOW A GIRL NAMED JORDAN AND I  WENT WITH A BOY NAMED JORDAN.

I THINK IT'S CUTER FOR A BOY.

Answer 8

I'd prefer it for a girl because it won't sound too common. But if you used it for a boy, it would sound common.

Answer 9

I like it for a boy. But I know both boys and girls who have the name.

Answer 10

I prefer it for a girl (Jordyn) but it's not one of my favorite names.  It's been common for quite a while.

Answer 11

Answer 12

I love it for a girl but spelled Jordynn!  I don't think it sounds girly for a boy at all I just like it for a girl personaly and it isn't too common for a girl, maybe is for a boy...

Answer 13

i think it is much or a boy name then a girl name. I love the name jordan for boys but i hate it for girls. I dont think it is too common, its popular though

Answer 14

No, it's definitely a boy's name. It's Hebrew for the name James. Would you name your daughter James?

There's nothing I can't stand more than people naming their girls names like Jordan. eww.

Answer 15

I think it is great for a boy, not so much for a girl.  Very Cute!

Its pretty common, yes..

It wouldnt sound girly at all!!!!!!

Answer 18

Jordan is hard to figure out.  Is it a girl or a boy?  I think a gender friendly name is better.

Answer 19

I LOVE the name Jordan as it is my name. Growing up being a girl names Jordan I do know that most of the time people think I am a guy. But I know more girls names Jordan then I do guys.
