"I named my 3rd son Jordan in 1988. I took it straight out of the Bible. I had never heard it before, but when I took him to school there was another boy named Jordan. He had a brief issue with it in high school stating that it was a girls name, but quickly got over that." Dec. 10, 2013:

"My boyfriend is called Jordan.
Although it is apparently easy to pronounce, I have trouble.
It just sounds wrong when I say it.
His mum called him Jordan because it's a girl's and a boy's name, so she didn't have to put much effort into deciding when he was actually born.
I'm not sure whether or not he likes his name, too many Katie Price jokes I suppose.
But I love it, because I love him
I don't like it when his mum calls him it though, because I don't like her.
and also, Jordan is a unisex name so stop being so sexist and possesive saying that girls can't be called Jordan - because they can and they are." Jun. 6, 2008:

"I named my SON Jordan in 1991. I had never really heard it before.
Now I wish I wouldn't have. I don't like that so many people are naming their girls Jordan. It's a boys name. I don't know why people are always stealing boys names for girls.
We don't steal your girls names for our son's :) LOL" Mar. 30, 2008:

"My name is Jordan and I was born in 1980, it was not a popular name at all for me growing up, I was always the only Jordan in my school. I also grew up in the height of Michael Jordan's fame, so my name was always really cool. I love it and think my parents did a good job. I have never met a Jordan older then me." Jun. 20, 2009:
"My brother is Jordan James. I like the sound of those names together. He was born in '92 and has quiet a few other Jordan's in his grade at school. And this probably has nothing to do with the name, but they are all MAJOR troublemakers!!" Apr. 29, 2009:

"Jordan is my name - I'm a girl. It's fine. I go by it. I used to hate it but it has grown on me even though it is a lot more common than I would like and than it was originally intended to be - but what can you expect when you're named after a famous basketball player?" Aug. 4, 2007:
