I've never been fond of it as a name of humans, male or female. That's because I'm not usually keen on surnames-as-first-names, especially when the surname in question refers to an occupation / action. (Really don't like Carter, Cooper, Tucker...)

There's always at least one "sporty" popular name for girls every decade or so. As another commenter pointed out it was Taylor, then Madison (with an assist from Avery, which I actually really like as a masculine name), and currently Harper. Since all the other top feminine names in the U.S. are very much of the "elegant" variety (usually my aesthetic as well, but poor Olivia is too played out now for me to use), Harper will likely stick around for a long time, until something else "sporty" arrives. It better not be Kennedy...

In other words, while I might dislike Taylor as a feminine name, I understand the purpose Taylor served.
