boys middle name Erin

[k582]

I am planning to give my baby boy my middle name which is Erin.  It is listed as a unisex name but it is more commonly used for a girl. I've been questioning my choice lately.  Do you think he could possibly be teased for it. I am thinking of just switching it to Aaron since it sounds similar.  My name is Kristen Erin so I wanted him to be Christian Erin

Naming a human is hard!

Sorry, but I agree with the others.  I've never seen the name Erin used for a boy.  (And I see lots of names each day in  patient's paperwork, etc. ) I really think it's a girl's name.  If I were you,  I'd change it to Aaron.

You could spell it like "Eryn"? I dont think its girly at all :)

My mother in laws middle name is Jean so she gave my husband gene as a middle name. So i totally get what youre doing.

How about taking the Irish spelling? Eirann. It looks more masculine and its sorta a conversation piece. Its literally the Irish word for Ireland.
Just a thought.


Also. Ive known people for years who never knew my middle name. So how would he get teased? Unless he goes around saying heyyyyy my middle name is.... lol
