Baby Name Poll Results

I would use Blakely. These choices are definitely not unique though.

Can you please comment why (this is the poster)

They're not unique because you're pretty much just taking a boy name that is pretty popular and slightly changing it to make it "girly".

Gracen which is just Grayson/Greyson has been BOOMING for boys. The name literally sounds the same and changing the spelling doesn't make it unique because most of the time people will be saying it rather than looking at it which takes away from the "unique-ness". Grace is lovely for a girl on its own.

Blakely falls into a very popular and IMO unattractive trend of adding "lee" sounds to the end of any name. While some have used Blake for a girl it is still MUCH more common for a boy.

Easton is a popular boys name. No if, and, or buts about it.

Note: This is not the first commenter however I also share the view the names are not unique as them.

Hello! I'm not the first poster, but I just want to add my input. All of these names are relatively trendy, so they sound a lot more common than they actually are. Gracen isn't in the US top 1000, but with the popularity of Grace and Grayson, it sounds like a more common, trendy name. Blakely is well within the US top 1000, and sounds a lot like the also-popular Blake (plus, Blakely has the trendy -ly/-leigh ending). Easton is a popular boys' name, so while it might technically be "unique" for a girl, it doesn't sound very uncommon and fits into the "boys-names-on-girls" trend.

That being said, just because a name is trendy/popular doesn't mean it's not a good name! I really like Blakely from your choices, especially with the nickname Blake.

Not poster 1, but I agree. "Gracen" is #17 in popularity for boys with all its different spellings combined, Easton is #71. It doesn't matter what sex your child is, if a teacher calls for "Gracen" or "Easton" in a classroom all the "Gracens" and Eastons are going to respond regardless of sex or spelling. There were 1,460 girls named "Blakely" last year. So, no, these names are definitely not unique.

If you like those, maybe look at these for a girl:

Ryan or Rylan
Sawyer
Mason nn Maisie
Chesley
Wyatt
Gracia
Houston
Denver
Weslie
Preslie

Easton is masculine. Gracen sounds masculine. Blakely is sorta ugly to me, but at least it sounds fit for a girl. But heck, why not just do Blake? Blake Lively does it justice.

I was asking why you chose the name you did not why you didn't think they were unique. (Poster)

Gracen

None of these are unique. Blakely is trendy and cheesy. Gracen is someone's way of trying to make Grayson feminine. Easton is too masculine. All three are unappealing for a girl.

Please come up with options that are uniquely feminine.

I know an adorable 3 year old girl names Gracen nn Gracie. To me Gracen sounds more feminine because of it having Grace in it. I always thought Grayson sounded more like a girls name because of this. Gracen easily gmv. GL

I too prefer Gracen for a girl. I find Blakely to be too harsh in sound and Easton to me is all boy. Gracen gmv. Good Luck!

Gracen!

It's not Grace sen. It's Gray son that's not girly. I would keep looking.

^ It sounds as though Grayson has Grace in it regardless of the spelling. I believe that was the point the above poster was making. Also, Madison and Addison have son endings and they are much more popular on girls then boys these days.

Gracen is the best of the three imo. I know I'm a little late for the party but if you happen to check this poll again I thought i'd leave my two cents. GL
