Jordan, Jordin, Jordyn
This was the first name I remember actively liking for a girl. Then I grew out of it for a long time. Now I'm reconsidering it. Wdyt of Jordan for a girl? And I know most here aren't fans of alternative spellings but what are your feeling on the Jordin and Jordyn spellings? Better or worse? Any combos immediately come to mind?

I'm not ashamed to say I love Jordyn for a girl. Jordan is fine. Jordin looks weird to me...like "we're goin' jordin'!" (If 'jording' was an actual English word, this would be the twangy way to say it...).
I've always liked Jordyn Claire or Jordyn Leigh. Simple and lacking imagination but works for me.

I love Jordan for a girl, that spelling only. I'd easily use it.
Jordan and for a BOY! In my book a girl can have this name, sure. But that doesn't at all make the name feminine, unisex or any less masculine. The spelling of Jordyn is absolutely ridiculous. Jordin isn't terrible but the spelling of Jordan will always be the triumphant one.
I guess you can say this is yet another so called, "unisex" name which I fail to see it as that way.

I would pronounce Jordan and Jordin differently, the second being much shorter ending. I think the spelling is also uglier on the page.
I don't really like Jordan, not because it's unisex but because I just think it sounds really clunky. I also associate it with a celebrity who is not very likeable over here, her real name is Katie Price but she goes exclusively by Jordan (UK).
That being said, I do quite like it in the middle for some 'frillier' names, like
Lily Jordan
Amelia Jordan
Christina Jordan
Daniella Jordan
Helena Jordan
Alicia Jordan
Emily Jordan
Sophia Jordan
Ruby Jordan
Jordan Marie
Jordan Elise

I knew a Jordan ... I liked her, so I decided I liked the name too. It fit her. I'm afraid I would not have thought it was flattering on someone less generically appealing, though. Unisex names are like denim overalls. Not everyone can make them look stylish.
I don't care for the "in" and "yn" spellings. Jordin is just ugly and Jordyn sort of shrinks the name, makes it li'l and apologizes for it.
