So both because of her and because of Seth Cohen (since Summer always called him Cohen), it's definitely a boy name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399649 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 11:01:03 +0000 youboots 2399649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never heard that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399642 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 10:56:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2399642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy, we have a cousin Koen, and i can't see it for a girl? probably because he's all boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399459 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 02:40:45 +0000 lamariniere 2399459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: yep, that's what I though too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399450 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 02:04:17 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2399450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a family with a girl Kohen. It's either spelled Kohen or Koen, I can't remember..but definitely with a K. It was the first time I ever heard that name. The girl is almost 14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399382 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 23:02:18 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2399382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely think boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399370 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:44:14 +0000 Greentea 2399370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: agreed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399364 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:39:17 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2399364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a "technically" a boy name and should be spelled with a C, IMO (I hate different spellings).</p> <p>But Eliot and Ryan and Parker and Carter are all 'boy' names and they work for girls, too. No names are gender specific these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399293 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:47:27 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2399293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: someone I know has a baby named Klein too!!</p> <p>@coopsmama: yes, exactly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-boy-or-girl-name#post-2399286 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:43:35 +0000 coopsmama 2399286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Both of my kids have last name type first names.

I have only heard that name for boys. Have you heard it for a girl before? </p>
