"I am naming my baby girl Jordan. I love the biblical name! I am Jaime and her fathers name is James..it will fit her well. Being that I have a unisex name, I had NO fear in giving a unisex name to my unborn. Its a strong name and she will love it as I do mine." Mar. 14, 2012:
"My daughter's name is Jordan Rose. She is four and loves her name. It suits her well. Her nickname is Jojo. I think it is a very cute name for a girl." Feb. 25, 2011:
"Hi my name is Jordan i love my name it's very beautiful" Feb. 5, 2011:
"My names Jordin. :) I'm a girl &I love it! I honestly wouldn't change my name if I could. I think it fits me and is really unique." Jan. 13, 2011:

"when i have a daughter im gonna name her jordan even though its a boy name its different and makes a girl more unique" Apr. 12, 2010:
"My Daughters names is Jodan, she is 5 and in kindergerden. No fear for thoughs who are now naming their girls Jordan, and I do like it better "an" and not "yn". As a young girl kids like to find things with their names on it. Well, sometimes we3 find things in neutral, green colors for example but she's fine with that. I guess the point I'm making if your thinking of a 18 or older Jordan yes, it's probably a boy, but buy the time the jordan's now get that age I don't think anyone will be assuming it's a boy. Interesting, my daughter's middle name is Elizabeth, I'm reading that a lot in the comments, our was after a dear family member, but I'm so glad we mamed her that Jordan with the elegance of Elizabeth goes great together, can't tell you how many complements, and that certainly isn't going to be mistaken for a boy. By the time my daughterd grown the comment will probably be, "Jordan, for a boy?" She has 6 Jordan's two spelled with yn endings in school, not one boy. The girl Jordans of future will be just fine without getting that, "It's a boy thing" Anyways I love jordan Elizabeth, strong and elegant for a girl." Jan. 16, 2010:
"If I ever have twins their names will be Jordanna and Camryn. And they'll be called Annie and Cammie." Dec. 13, 2009:
"my name is Jordan and i love it. Its pretty and strong plus it's biblical.I used to hate it and everyone used to bother me about it but i love it now! another thing, the letter "J" is the prettiest letter in the alphabet!!!" Jun. 30, 2009:
"I named my daughter Jordan. She doesn't like it because of boys sharing the same name. I do find when I call places like the school or doctor's offices, they always assume my child Jordan is a boy. for example, if I call the school to say "jordan is out sick today" they reply "I hope HE feels better". One of my former employers even said to me "why did you give your daughter a boy's name?". I love the name Jordan for a girl, I think it is strong, unique, independent and trendy. I just wish my daughter felt the same" Jun. 22, 2009:
"I really like some unisex names but not all (e.g. Lindsey, Morgan, Nicky, etc.). I hate the names Jamie and Sydney and Payton. I meet other Jordans. Jordan is a pretty name." Apr. 30, 2009:
"To comment left May 7, 2008:

"unfortunately since it is also a boys name, i've been initially called a guy, like at one awards ceremony they called an award for Mr. Jordan and then I stood up and the teacher had to quickly turn it to Ms. Jordan. I noticed none of the teachers afterwards used Mr. or Ms." Sep. 14, 2007:

"I named my daughter Jordan in 2002, but originally got the idea after seeing the movie "Cocktail" where Elisabeth Shue's character was named Jordan. I think it's a beautiful and slightly different name for a girl, but am sad to see it becoming so popular and common. My daughter was already the 2nd Jordan in her class!" Jan. 22, 2007:

"I like it because it is not the usual "jessica" or "stephanie" or any of that vrap that you see everyday. but it's not to exstavagent. and it has simplicity to it. I only know of about 3 girls with that name and that makes me happy." Apr. 11, 2006:
"It's my name and I was just on geisigner.com in the nursery page and I typed in Jordan and they came up all boys. Jordan is a girls name to but I don't see why people can't name their kids Jordan." Dec. 8, 2005:
"Every one says that Jordan is more of a boys name than a girls. I like to feel unique, there only 3 Jordan's in own whole school." Nov. 30, 2005:

"It's my name and you don't see girls with the name which makes you feel unique. I love it." Aug. 3, 2005:
"It's my name, and I love it!!! I've probably only ever met 2 other Jordan's in my life, it's so different than the usual Katie or Steph you see normally for girls. I absolutely love it and wouldn't change it for a thing!" Jul. 29, 2005:

"My name is Jordan Lindsey. In the beginning I never liked my first name. People at school who didn't know me, even teachers would mistake me for a guy. The older I got, the less it happens. Now I am 14 years old still, but Less, I am thought as of a boy or made fun of for having a males name. But now I know just how beautiful and unique my name is, and I am proud of it. I could have never asked for a better first name." Sep. 1, 2010:

"My name is Jordan Elizabeth and i'm 14 years old. For a long time i hated being named Jordan because people used to think of a guy when they said it. But over the years i've liked it better. I always wanted a name more elegant than the one i have, which is why i liked the name Elizabeth. It makes up for the adrogynous first name. I just wish that others could make cute nicknames for "Jordan" like other girls. But that is the name that God wanted me to have, and knowing that comforts me and makes me feel beautiful." Dec. 19, 2009:
