Which gender is this baby name?? What do you think?

Question

WHITNEY! I like it as a boy's name! But it isn't more of a girl's name, is it?? If it is, could you think of a more masculine way to spell/say it?

Answer 1

whitney is actually a unisex name meaning the white island, but i find it much more of a female name.

Answer 2

I think it's quite feminine? A more masculine very could be simply Wit or Witnor

Answer 3

it is  girl's name

Answer 4

A girl's name and a surname.  Period.

Answer 5

It is a girl's name, but if you like it go for it! :) Just be prepared for teasing.

There are boys name Kelsey, Leslie and Ashley. So it wouldn't be the weirdest thing by far :)

I have a son named Landon, and someone told me they named their daughter that. I was shocked.

However, what about the name Wesley? It's a boys name and similar to Whitney. I love the name Wesley.

Or maybe even Wyatt.

Answer 6

i knew a boy named Wiydey (the sound was like this but i don't know how he wrote it).  YD = just say these two alphabet letters together.

Maybe you can write it Wiydie, Whydie...Whydy (too many y's)

Answer 7

I know a guy named whitney.  

Answer 8

Girls all day long!

Whitley is a boys name.

Answer 9

Girls name

Answer 10

yes it's a girls name. My suggestion is may be you can type as Whitne.

Answer 11

I think it's a girl's name for sure..

Answer 12

Whitney is SUCH a girls name! I think a boy with that name would be miserable for most of his life....I have always liked the names Ashley or Sandy for a boy myself, but they are not something I would ever saddle my son with.

You could name him just Whit, or Whitman, Whitford (I know, it's kind of stuffy), Whitner, or whatever other ending you can come up with.  

Answer 13

Whitney is a GIRL'S name.  If someone were to hear of your kid Whitney before meeting him, they'd think he was a girl.  I also like Brittany better than Whitney.  Pronounced "BRIT-nee", but it doesn't associate with S****y Britney Spears.  How about William for a boy?

Answer 14

It, like many others, is a unisex name...it can go either way...just like Morgan, Jordan, Ashley, Ashton and on down the line.

Answer 15

Naming a guy Whitney is like naming a guy Ashley.  It's possible, and it's been done...but people are usually confused as to why...

Answer 16

Whit

Sorry this is a girls name. Dont try to spell it a different way that is just confusing

What about combing two names you like and creating a new name, alot of people are doing this.

I would have thought Whitney was more of girls name, but its unisex  name according to this websites

Answer 19

Definitely a girls name.  I knew a wee girl called Whitney, and there's no hiding the fact that Whitney Houston is female.

I think if you called a boy Whitney he'd get laughed at, it's similar to calling a boy Courtney, just shouldn't be done

Answer 20

Whitman (pronounced Wit-man) and I knew someone with this name

Answer 21

sorry to be awkward but Whitney really is a girls name

however if u were dead set on it you could spell it, Whitne, Witnie...

Answer 22

yep, girl, as in Houston

Personally I think it's hideous - I loathe this trend for giving kids (esp girls) surnames for given names.

What about William, or Walter, or Wolfren?
