Comments and insights on the name Parker

Boys name!!!! (I disagree, its a unisex name)

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,

My daughter (born in 2013) is named Parker - we have gotten nothing but compliments! Unfortunately it seems to be rapidly trending upward over the last few years, so I hope it's not the next Harper. We adore her name and wouldn't change it - although if choosing this, or any other unisex name, I highly recommend a feminine middle name to pair with it.

I know a family that has 3 girls named Parker, Harper, and Carter. Too masculine for me!

There's a comic strip called Judge Parker. He's a guy.

Personal experiences with the name Parker

This is my name. I was named after a cancer patient my parents met when my mom was five months pregnant with me. The girl I am named after lost her battle the day before I was born. That's why I'm named Parker.
My younger cousin's name is Parker; she is super full of energy!

My name is Parker, and I'm a girl. I am always getting comments on how unique it is, and how much people love it. Personally, I really love my name. I think it works for either a boy or a girl, and is a beautiful name.
