I wanted to use a unisex name..Christian..so why does most everyone tell me it's only for boys? I've seen it online as both a girl's and a boy's name.
And *Beautiful* if you are out there..plz don't congratulate me again. I'm naming a miscarried baby! And Yes, I know you miscarried too.

More often than not, people associate a name with a gender they are most familiar with. Ashley used to be a male name, then went unisex, and is now most often referred to as a girl name. It is people's own perception. I personally know a girl named Christian and it fits her. It is whatever makes the family most comfortable that should work.

Because it has always been known as a boys name and most people don't know any girls named Christian.
Sort of like the name Jordan..it used to be just be on the "boys" list but eventually became accepted as a girls name.

well if you are like that...you better not ask here. Most people only read half the question.
I never seen it used for a girl but then I can only come up with Christian Slater.
I think it is a great name, even for a girl, even for a deceased girl.
I wish you much strength in making this decision and the coming years.

I think people tend to use the name Christina or some variation for a girl, so Christian is usually used for boys. That shouldn't stop you from naming your baby whatever you like. (Although please be kind, the world can only handle so many Bambis and Rainbows :)

Why does it matter what other people think??? I personally would never name my baby boy Kelly or Tracy, but they are also unisex names, it's personal choice.

You are misinformed: "Christian" is a male name, and you must have misread information; the female equivalent would be 'Christiane' or any derivative of that.
