Parker as a girl's name is solidly preppy. It gives a similar impression of prep school snobbery as the name Blair does.
I completely disagree with the person above me.... I think this name is a little preppy, but so are names like Sebastian and Hadley, but like those names, Parker is effortlessly cool. It also is unisex, which I think is hot...
^^^^ Haha person above me. I completely agree! This name is so sexy cool! I love it so much!
