Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hi,
Ted Pack gave a good answer. It mainly was a boys name but has become very popular as a girls name. I called my son Taylor, I was watching the sitcom show called Home Improvement and got the idea to use the name Taylor from one of the actors in the show. The kid in the show called Randy Taylor. His real name is Jonathan "Taylor" Thomas.

The other information about the name Taylor is it is of Middle English and Old French origin, and its meaning is "tailor; to cut." Occupational name as mentioned by Ted Pack . The name was made popular for girls, due to characters named Taylor on the soap operas "The Bold and the Beautiful", "All My Children", and "Melrose Place."
