This is way overused for a girl in my honest opinion, but I rather like hearing it on a guy.
I am male and my first name is Courtney, a family name. A quick history: when I was young - I am in my 60s - Courtney was a very uncommon name given exclusively, as far as I know, to boys. In 1974, Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood named their daughter Courtney, and when I first heard about it, I remember thinking "there goes my name". Sure enough, since then, Courtney has become a very popular girl's name. When I go to a store and hand them a credit card with my name on it, once a while the clerk will say "is she here with you?", or something similar. There are a few male Courtney's around including Courtney Vance, the actor, and at least one player in the NFL, but for the most part everyone thinks of it as a girls name now. I certainly would not recommend it as a boys first name today.
My mother is from Springfield, Massachusetts. She said when she was growing up there, at the Irish-Catholic school she went to there were many Courtneys, mainly spelled Courteney, like Courteney Cox. So it's not really as creative as many people think, I guess.
