I've never been able to warm to it on a girl (possibly because the spelling seems to get butchered on girls - I've seen Jordyn, Jordynn, Joyrdin, etc). I much prefer it on a boy, but I guess *technically* it's gender-neutral since it's a place name and a surname. I much prefer Jordana on a girl as opposed to Jordan, though.

It sounds boyish to me. I know boy and girl Jordans, but it seems so masculine.

Just makes me think of Katie Price - popularly named Jordan. Not a good association IMO.

To me this name is 100% male, simply by the sound of it, it doesnt sound feminine at all. And then the Jordan river is male in all the languages I know ... dunno about the original gender though.

I don't mind it on a girl, but it still sounds very masculine to me, so therefore I prefer it for a boy. I actually prefer Jordyn for a girl, I know it's a trendy spelling!

I don't mind it for a girl as long as its paired with a very feminine middle name (or first name depending...) I do prefer it for a boy alot more though.

I really dislike it, only because I do feel its a boys name, but also because I simply don't find it appealing for either gender. However, I have known more girl Jordan's than boys, so its not out-of-the-norm for me. However, this doesn't make it right in my eyes (same situation as Madison, Ashley, Taylor, etc.).

I've never been that into it, because I just don't think of it on a girl. I really like feminine names, but it's definitely prettier on a girl than say, Caden.

Miles and Jordan as a mother/daughter combo would be cute, though.

It feels very dated to the 80s to me, girl or boy.

I know a girl Jordan, she is adorable. I love this name for both genders. I also know a boy Jordan.

I love it for either a boy or a girl. I know it's really trendy for either, but I can't help but adore it.
