Well, there is London Fletcher -- the popular Redskins player.


But what would be most awesome would be if his middle name could be Paris, and last name Underpants. Can you manage that?

Adrian(ne) is also a boy's and girl's name. Without seeing it written, I'd probably guess female if I heard your two names together.



Hadnt thought of that..thanks for the perspective.

Back to the drawing board it is...oh dear!

Maybe you should go more specific, like Croydon, Balham, or Wapping?

At least choose a masculine sounding middle name. But if you're trying to be gender-ambiguous, then it's perfect.

I think Adrian is really nice!

BTW, London is now #94 for girls, more popular than Lydia, Kaitlyn, Violet, Angelina, Paige, Ruby, Piper, and Mary. So it's rather feminine.

By contrast, London is #561 for boys, behind Alvin, Boston, and Nelson but still more popular than Rhett, Jermaine, and Roy.

And I know a 2-year-old girl named London.
Equally terrible.

I think girl when I hear it. But I'm not sure why.

I kind of love it, but I don't like it with the middle named you picked. I would choose a shorter middle name.

I don't dislike it, but I'm not sure it'll go for the long haul. Constantly having to deal with silly comments or having to say "like the city" could get annoying for the kid/teenager/adult.

Looking for initial reactions to the name London for a boy? I know its a unisex name but does it lean one way more than the other? We were thinking of the name London Adrian..(A-dree-An)
