"I plan to name my future child Sterling. I'm debating between a boy and girl name, but leaning towards boy since most have said it sounds more boy. Apparently if I have a girl it would be a "stripper's name". I disagree though, I love it either way!" Jan. 27, 2018: 
"My daughters name is Sterling and I love this name. It means pure at heart and of honest values." Mar. 22, 2012:

"I was born in 1962 and my first name is Sterling. It's interesting to note that, as stated in an earlier post, the most common mistake is when I'm called "Spencer." I have also got the odd "Stanley," too - which I really don't like." Oct. 31, 2008:
"My girl is named Sterling. How accurate is this site?" Sep. 22, 2007:

"I'm a girl named Sterling. Many people say "Wow.. Cool
name!" But the kids my age (13-14) tease.. Saying it's a boys name and what not. I don't really care, though. I love it." Apr. 23, 2010:
"Well first off I am a girl and my name is Sterling. People often say 'Shterling' or 'Sterlin' but those people were kids. I think my grandma once called me 'Stirly wirly' (ugh)
Other than that, people say it's pretty when I tell them my name." Aug. 6, 2005:
