Cameron ...?
Wdyt of Cameron for a girl? I view it, with this spelling, as a more masculine name. For whatever reason, I really like the spelling Kamryn - call me trendy, that's fine - nd am considering putting it on my list for a possible future girl. I picture soo many possibilities, tomboyish, girly, spunky, etc. with this name. What are your honest thoughts, nd different spellings that look more feminine than Cameron? Also, do you think it goes well with Casey William?

Tia!

I'm actually not opposed to this name on a girl. I think is sounds kinda feminine to begin with. I like the spelling Camryn.

I sort of like it. It's on the good side of average for me. I like Cameron for both, and Camryn if you want to make it look more feminine, but I don't like it with a K.

I strongly dislike it. I much prefer it on a boy.

Cameron goes really well as a brother to Casey, but as a sister, well, I'd assume Casey was the girl and Cameron the boy tbh.Camryn on a girl is a bit of a gp for me, actually, I just love the nn Cami. But with Casey, I'd avoid it or use it for a boy.

I know lots of male Camerons and yet I prefer it on a girl too! I know of only one little girl with the name and she spells it Kamryn. I don't like that spelling though...

I dislike the name for either sex because I don't like the meaning and it is a surname. I find it far too masculine for a girl and I personally I don't think changing the spelling makes a name look any more feminine.

for me, Cameron only works for a girl when using the nn Cami. but thats probably because I know a girl who does that.

I know two males with the name (Cameron and Kameron), I've seen it on a girl, but I picture a boy when I hear the name. I would honestly think girl/boy sibset with Casey and Cameron. Camilla?

Cameron is one of the few unisex names I like on a girlI think she goes great with brother Casey (having the same initial consonant sound is a little unfortunate, but oh well). But Kamryn completely ruins it. It's just not the same name anymore. It looks made up. Maybe if you want a similar look and feel, how about Korinna? It's legit, and I love it.

I don't like Cameron on either gender, honestly. When I hear it, I think boy right away. Changing the spelling doesn't make it more feminine imo, as the sound remains the same (admittedly, there are names that a spelling change does make it look more feminine, though it doesn't sound any differently). Could I sell you on Carmen? It has a similar sound but is decidedly feminine. Casey and Carmen would be a cool sibset.

Cameron is all boy to me, but I don't really like it. I had a friend from high school (a girl) named Camryn. While I wouldn't use Camryn either, I think it ages well. I like that spelling (and pronunciation -- I say it KAM-rin whereas Cameron is KAM-er-in). Camryn doesn't look made-up to me like Kamryn does. That K just reeks of "kre8tyvity" IMO.

I don't like it on either gender really. After having to hear my next door neighbor chew out her son named Cameron for about 2 long years, I just got so sick of it. On a girl it's not as bad I suppose. The Kamryn spelling looks kind of ugly to me though.

I have a male cousin named Cameron, but I can easily see it on a female, too. I don't care for Kamryn, though; I think Camryn is prettier.

I prefer the spelling Cameron, and I love the nn Cam/Cammie, for some reason. I don't see it as exclusively masculine, more as an established unisex name. And yes, I think Kamryn's a bit trendy, but I can see why you might like it; it looks cute and more modern. I actually sort of like the meaning "crooked nose";maybe it's my quirky sense of humor, but it seems to denote character. Anyway, I think it goes well with Casey...I wouldn't worry too much about the name looking feminine, but that's just me.

I dislike it on a girl. It's masculine to me and those I've come across with the name are all males. I think Casey and Cameron (both males) could go together well but unless actually spelled Kamryn, I'd probably think the sibset was comprised of two boys instead of a boy and a girl.

I think it's too masculine for a girl, and the meaning "crooked nose" is ghastly. With any spelling, i still find it unusable and very unfeminine for a girl. I'd go with, Carmen.
