Parker... For a GIRL?

When we told the family that we're expecting, everyone immediately asked what names we had picked. We're set on Parker for a boy, but are lost on girl names. Dh's aunt suggested using Parker for a girl and everyone agreed! I'm usually not a fan of unisex names-- especially super masculine names for girls. But I could almost picture having a baby girl named Parker. Do you think it's ugly? Too trendy? She'll hate me for giving her a boys' name? Or do you like it?

Yes yes... But we weren't blessed with it.

Quoting Pnukey:

Parker is a great last name.

I think it's cute. If you're concerned about it sounding masculine, give her a feminine middle name.

Personally, I like it.  But if you don't, then don't use it.

I think it would be fine for a girl.
