Now days I think it gets used more as a girls name but it always make me think of Addison's disease  sorry!
Traditionally it was a boys name given that it means "son of Adam".
As for Jade, that's definitely a girl's name!

Well I prefer it as a girls name but I could be bias haha
When we were pregnant with Addison we heard of 2 boys called Addison but none since although that could be cos of Greys and Private Practice..
Since having Addison Ive only seen girls in the birth notices and there is also another wee Addison at her daycare but they spell it Adisen which Im not to keen on.
Its funny but Im not overly keen on Maddison (sorry to anyone who has called their child that name) but I still love the name Addison. I love saying her name, I love hearing her name and we get lots of comments on it but not one person has said they thought it was a boys name.
and thanks again Caitlynsmygirl hehe 
I also liked Elliot for a girl but DH didnt

Great Thread! Its funny reading what people think are boys names and girls names.
I know a male and female Jade but automatically think male when I hear it.
Again I know a male and female Morgan but always think of a girl.
Only know girl Addisons and can only really associate it with a girl.
I know one of each for McKenzie to but always thinks of it as a girls name.
LOVE Elliot for a girl but DH vetoed it.
Cameron and Brodie are def boys names to me too.
Sorry if I have offended anyone....but hey I can hardly talk as I have weird names for my kids.

Addison is my great uncles name. It was originally a male name (Scottish I think), but I do agree that I think it is a lovely little girls name. On the whole I'm not too keen on the surname as first name thing though.

Maybe I just like unisex names, Ive seen Kobe on a girl but spelt Khobi and he would have been that girl or boy.
Seems like its all older males called Addison and its become a feminine name.

I love the name Addison for a girl........ couldn't picture it on a boy tho. But I think that is cause of private practise.
Jade IMO is definately a girls name, never heard of a boy being named Jade.
Morgan - to me it has always been a boys name as I know a guy named Morgan. Even seeing a female Morgan on Shorty St didn't change that for me lol
I'm a real fan of unisex names. I loved Elliot, Cameron, Raegan, Riley etc for our wee girl but DF is quite traditional and wanted a 'girly' name. He liked Sophie, Katie, Ella and Olivia which I liked but wasn't over the moon about them cause they are all quite common now so we ended up settling on Isla. It's girly, but still fairly unique these days. Plus it is an anogram of my name, Lisa
