It sounds odd to me, because in some parts of Australia devon is our name for baloney, the sandwich meat. If you give a kid this name make sure he/she doesn't want to visit Australia!

I don't like it for either gender, though I don't find it horrible. I have a friend, in her mid 20s, named Devon Paige. She said she hated her name growing up because she was teased for it being a "boy name" and her mn being somewhat ambiguous didn't help either, she said. It seems most of the Devons/Devins in our area are boys, and we've had a few babies at work with this name (I work in an NICU), and Devon the female nurse is still on the search for a girl Devon. She rolls her eyes when she finds a male Devon/Devin. :b

It's not an absolute favourite but I like Devon. However, I much prefer it spelt Devin and like it best on a boy.

I really like Devon for both genders as well. I'm more inclined towards using it on a boy, though I think it's adorable on a girl as well. Preferably with the spelling Devon though, it tends to annoy me to see Devyn.

I love Devon, but on a girl only [M]

However I've only heard the name once, and it was a little boy at McDonalds.

I like it spelled Devin (for both genders), although I think I prefer it for a boy. However, the only Devin I know is a girl, about 22 years old and has a twin sister Dana.

I like it, but I prefer Devin.

I'd keep it for boys.

I really like this name on a girl and I like it on a boy. This is one I view as truly unisex too, I know 2 girls and 2 boys with this name.

I don't particularly care for it. =\ Sorry.

I really like it, for a girl or boy. I would probably use it on a girl. I know a girl named Devon and most people think her name is pronounced "Dev-On" - like the word On, rather than Dev-In, like the word In. I sort of like Devyn.
