Griffin
....for a girl. I've been thinking about this name lately and I realized I might like it better on a girl. I know a lot of you won't like it, but is there anyone who does? What middle names would you pair with Griffin?http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/87410

Griffin seems like one of the manliest names on earth. I can't imagine it on a girl.

Nope... I just can't see it on a girl. Are people going to call her Griff for short? It's just too inescapably masculine, IMO

I love Griffin on a boy and think Griffin would also be nice for a girl!

I don't think it seems like a good name for a woman. Some names that would seem spunky on a girl can seem dumpy on a woman and I think this is one. It's too similar to the word gruff and to other surnames like Griffith. The iff sound in a feminine name makes me think Tiffany, also. GriffanyMaybe if you spelled it Gryphon. That's much more evocative to me, much less of a gruff surname-name and more about the mythical animal. That would make it seem cool even on a grownup.Needs a middle name that isn't too girly or traditional, because the contrast would be droll.Gryphon Mavis

I like Griffin for a boy, but not for a girl.I agree with the poster below me, I would prefer it paired with a feminine, almost "precious" middle name. Since it's a word name, I wouldn't pair it with another word name.Griffin Adelaide*

I much prefer it on a boy. However, as it's a "word name" it doesn't have a specific gender attached to it, so you could get away with it. But, the middle name ought to be more feminine.Griffin Elsa
