I know Keith is a boy name, but can I use it for a girl?

I love the name Keith, but can I use the name for a girl?





I've heard of Dominic, Leighton, and Kyle as girl names, so would Keith be much of a difference?

Love Keith for a girl!!!!!!
Reply:I really don't like it and wouldn't choose it for a girl. It would definitely inspire a girl to prove herself in some way though. I can think of an actress named James and an actress named Michael that are succcessful people. In my opinion it's just too masculine sounding, but what you name your daughter is up to you. I like "K" names like Kyra, Kira, Kylie. On the one hand it would be an interesting challenge to your family and your daughter, on the other, she would get a lot of ragging about it.
Reply:I cannot stress this enough, please put a lot of thought into what you name your child! You could name your daughter Keith if you wanted to, but you shouldn't. Would you name a boy Katherine? Some names are considered unisex, but I'm pretty sure Keith isn't one of them. Think of how much teasing you would subject your daughter to by naming her something that's CLEARLY a boy's name.
Reply:It's your decision.. I'm Charlie and I'm a girl.. It's the nickname my parents gave me and I used to hate it because I didn't know any other girl with that name before, until I saw the movies Long Kiss Goodnight and Monster in Law, where Geena Davis and J.Lo's characters were named Charlie. Now I love it! I even prefer it over my real name. I think boy names for girls are cute.. though maybe not all of them.. If it's too masculine for you, you can add a second name or you can use it as a nickname. I think it'll be cute.. ;-)
Reply:Because the people who name those kids are uneducated and probably low-income. Let me ask you this, how would YOU like to have a boy's name and get picked on for it? Seriously, give your daughter a name she can be proud of. Don't go and be trendy like all those idiots out there who are giving girls a boy name.
Reply:No, please don't do that. Keith is not an asexual name. Just because people name girls "dominic" and other boys names doesn't make them all good ideas.





She's have a terrible time explaining herself and wonder why you gave her a boy's name.






Reply:I think Keeth/ Keethy/ Keithy would be totally cute! Its unique and kudos to you for thinking of that! i would probably not even consider girl-i-fying a boys name, because youre right.., over time boy names turn into possible girl names.. its kinda like euginie ( even though i dont like that name)
Reply:I honestly think boy names on girls grow on you.





Like Cameron Diaz.. i'd never heard of Cameron for a girl.





Or Drew barrymore, never heard drew on a girl. But love the name drew now.





If you like it and the father likes it, then go for it.
Reply:I wouldn't and I'm pretty open minded. It's such a risk using such an extremely masculine name on a girl.





With a million names in the world is this the one special one you want to choose for your daughter to have for the rest of her life? Really?

ricky


toby


mikey


chris


frankie


stevie


rae


kyle


casey


....i dont think using keith as a girls name would be inappropriate, as long as you used a feminine middle name :)
Reply:keith sounds to much like a boy. and i bet she will ask you one day why you named her a boy name, she'll hate it. and you know how kids are in school. just wait to see if you have a boy one day and name him that.
Reply:I went to high school with a girl named Gregory so you can do what you want. In my opinion, though, it causes the girls a lot of grief and I wouldn't do it myself.
Reply:Keith is very much a boys names. If you want to have it as a girls name, i recommend adding a more feminine name to is, such as Keithann



Reply:Keithia


or Keithyah


and someone would accually call a girl Dominic and or Kyle


Whats wrong with Dominica and Kylee
Reply:uh I think she'd get made fun of and she'd be mad at you for life. You can try Keithra, makes it a little more girly and at home call her Keith.
Reply:Why not use it as a middle name? Honestly, she will always be mistaken for a boy on paper. I really think it could lead to a lot teasing. It is just too masculine.
Reply:Sure, why not? If you like it, go for it. My daughter is Payton after Peyton Manning. :o) I would go for the girly middle name, though.
Reply:You can do whatever you want, but you really shouldn't. Keith is so masculine. Ugh.
Reply:No, Keith would not make a good girl name





It's a boys name





There is a name Keitha, I do not like it, it's Gaelic like Keith and both means woods









Reply:I think Keith is a little too masculine...


I think the others can go both ways but I don't know about Keith... Maybe try Kay, Kelsey, Kenzie, Kimberly, or Kyle (like above).
Reply:No it's a boy's name. So is Dominic and Kyle. People these days are naming their kids the dumbest things.
Reply:I knew a girl named Keitha, she was named after her dad Keith.


Hated her name.
Reply:I guess you could use keith as a girls name but she'll most likely be made fun of. just wait till you have a boy
Reply:Not Keith. If you absolutely love the name put an A or Y or something on the end to make it more girly.
Reply:NO! Please don't unless you want to torture your child. Maybe as a middle name.



Reply:Not good for a girl in my opinion.
Reply:no, i don't think it sounds good. I recommend Tanzi or Stephanie.
Reply:Way too masculine! This is your daughter....girly it up!
Reply:Kieth. that is a horrible name for a girl. its like naming a girl john
Reply:Only if you wan to subject her to a life of annoyance. Don't do that to her... she deserves better!
Reply:hell why no ti have a boy and named him ashley!
