Hate it. Makes me think of the drink.

Not as horrible for a boy as it is for a girl, but still not good. I don't think it has an attractive sound.

It's not the worst, but I think a person can do way better than Bailey, for either sex. I've known of one male Bailey, I think, and a few female ones, but I can't even count how many dogs I've heard of named this, male and female. It's almost a cliche, like if somebody says they have a dog, I'm surprised if it isn't named Bailey.

Here in Australia, it's only used on boys. I like it as it fits with my style, but it's far too common to use. I would actually like to meet a female Bailey as I know 6 or 7 boys with this name and zero girls.

I associate it with Baileys Irish Cream, and also with Grey's Anatomy. I like the name though, and only for a boy. My only concern is that people would think it's a girl these days.

It sounds like a dogs name or reminds me of Bailey's. I don't like it sorry. Not a fan of surnames for first names really though so it's really not my style

Better on a boy than on a girl

I think it sounds like a name for a male dog and it's just blah on a human girl. I'd prefer it on a male child if it's going on a human though.

I love it for a boy. It's okay on a girl, but it seems fresher on a boy. It's one of those names that I sort of forgot about for awhile, but I was reminded of it when I watched Grey's Anatomy and now I really like it.

Awful.

I prefer it for a boy and I actually like it a lot as a masculine name, but I think it's better suited for a pet.

I prefer it for a girl (It's what I'm used to and I wasn't even aware that it started out as a masculine name until after hearing\seeing it as a girls name for years and years).

Though honestly, I don't care for the name at all. To me, it's better left used as a dog's name. Maybe a cat?
The name just never appealed to me

I dunno. Like Ashley, Madison, or Avery, it has got so popular for a girl that most people see it as a feminine name. I hate spellings like Baylee though.
