I like it for a boy

Terrible. Insubstantial. Silly.

It's a nice surname, but a ridiculous first name. I think it's more feminine, but either could work.

I like it ;)

I think if I was going to name my child after a bird or animal, Sparrow would be one of the last I would choose. A sparrow is such a blah, ugly bird....Mousy looking and boring.
If I was made to use it, I would use it for a middle name, on a girl only.

nice for a bird

It's the kind of self-conscious, pointless word name I associate with celebrities. It's such an insubstantial name and an insubstantial little bird. I can't imagine looking at a person and calling them Sparrow.

ITA with this.
Although it's not so totally un-namey that I can't imagine looking at a person and calling them Sparrow.
Some word names that *are* self-conscious pointless and insubstantial, I don't think are bad. Meadow shouldn't work, yet I think it does.
But I don't like Sparrow, because as a name it just seems particularly self-conscious ... Jack Sparrow was named that for a reason. And bird names are just kind of annoying, to me, image-wise. Even Raven, which I like, I acknowledge is self-conscious.

Presumably girl, because 'bird' (nudge, nudge; wink, wink)! But actually neither.
