Shiloh
Thoughts? Do you like it for girl or boy better?He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Meh. I’m neutral to Shiloh, though the meaning is nice.
It’s feminine to me.

I like it. I prefer it for a boy. I like its soft and gentle sound. I'm a sucker for those kinds of names on boys. Another name I find similar that I like is Milo.

I really like Shiloh as a middle name. I like it to use on a girl IRL but I also like it on a boy as a GP.

I rather like it. I'd call it a GP.The sounds are identical to Shylow. That's so humble, like it could be the name of the donkey that carried Jesus into Bethlehem.I have a completely unisex impression of it.

I always liked it for a boy and might have considered using it. Then it became trendy and began to skew female. I've gone off of it.

It's one of the few traditionally-masculine-names-that-have-become-unisex that I actually prefer on a girl. I think it's because the -loh ending also invokes Willow in my mind, which is a feminine name I love. I regard Shiloh as a feminine GP, though, because there seem to be a lot of people who hate Shiloh on a girl with a fiery passion (or think you only like it because of the Jolie-Pitts).

I’m going with girl, but it sounds like a dog name to be perfectly honest.

I like it. It's very soft. I used to prefer it for a girl but now I prefer it for a boy.

Really dislikeThe sounds are lovely, and its hushed quality appeals to me, but I associate the name with trend-making celebrities.

I love it on a boy, but probably not enough to use because I’d use Silas.

Love it. Prefer it for a girl, but it works for both imo.

I don't like it for either gender, but it's better on a boy. It's very Jolie-Pitt and not very attractive sounding.

It's ok, prefer girl

I love it, for a boy. When I was a tween I read a story about a boy named Shiloh, and it’s always been masculine to me since then.

I've always assumed it was female, because of the Neil Diamond song. But, it's also a place name, which I don't enjoy. I'd be very surprised to meet one IRL.

Huh. Oddly, I've always thought of it as male because of the Neil Diamond song. A lonely little boy and his imaginary friend, which I think of as another little boy.
