Are there any names you think are ultra-masculine?

People talk about really girly/feminine names a lot, but what about ones that are really masculine?

KenI know there will be the exception, but these are names I don’t see making a successful transition to being a female name.

Richard is the first name that comes to mind. I know James has made it onto girls, I can't imagine Richard crossing that line.

Yeah, Richard is definitely masculine, and it's starting to fade in popularity.

Bartholomew and Rufus are definitely peak masculinity! I agree with a lot of these!

Good question! I’d consider names like Stetson, Blaize, Fisher, Carson, Cade, Logan and Tucker to be ‘ultra-masculine’, so mostly more modern English/American names with harsher sounds in them. I’d also consider some more classic names like William, Simon, Richard and Martin as more masculine, probably because they’ve been around as boys’ names for such a long time and are probably the first things that come to mind when I think of typical ‘boys names’. Now that I think about it, there seems to be less of a concept of ultra masculine names in comparison to ultra feminine. How interesting!

Interesting that you chose some unisex names as ultra-masculine!

Yes, I didn’t even notice that I did that! I’ve never really wrapped my head around Logan being unisex, it reminds me a lot of Ethan which is another name I’d call ultra-masculine. Not to say that it isn’t a unisex name, just that I still associate it with being very masculine. And I didn’t even notice Carson was unisex until just now!
