My daughter is Sawyer, and we've met two other girls named Sawyer since she was born. Disney also used "Sawyer" as a girl's name in a movie. In a different movie, Cats Don't Dance, the heroine is Sawyer. So it's not really a boy's name any more!

You probably shouldn't base whether a name is female or male on a Disney movie.

names shouldn't be only for one sex or another. naming a child is a very personal thing. I do think that some celebs have odd names for their babies or that some names are predetermined to be either male or female, however it should be up to the families and no one else should really have a say about it.

I agree with the naming of the child being a personal thing. I love the name Sawyer for my daughter, and thank you for giving me the name of the movie "Cats Don't Dance", because it was that movie that pushed us into the name Sawyer. She has a twin sister named Sidney also.

I think there will be alot of boys named Sawyer soon because of the popular guy on Lost.

we looked for a name that had a meaning to do with trees/forest (we are looking to live a simple life on an acreage in AR) it also helped that there was a cute guy on a new tv show (at the time) Lost (this was in 2005)

I agree that Sawyer is fast becoming a boys name. I know so many girls that are pregnant right now that have Sawyer on their list. I used the name Dana 23 yrs. ago for my daughter when most boys were named Dana. But it too soon became more of a girls name than a boys name. I think the same thing is happening with Sawyer, but in the reverse, it is going from a girl's name to a boys name rather quickly.
