Bradley is an important family name for me, and I always hated how it has been used by others who don't share my family background.
I think it is even worse on a girl, not feminine at all.

Ahh! Definitely not for a girl
It's way to masculine.

I love Bradley. The only reason it's not on my list is because I love many boys names, and try very hard to steer clear of the over-popular ones (mainly to help eliminate names off the list, and the fact that I was one-of-many-Kristina's in school). I still encourage other to use the classics before using Rowan or others in the like.
But Bradley on a girl? First I see nothing feminine about Bradley (and I'm not one to use a frilly name for a girl). I absolutely HATE it when others use masculine names on girls. Then people stop using them on boys because they are "feminine".

I don't like it as a boy's name either, let alone for a girl. I can't see it ever fitting a girl.

I don't like it much for a boy, so I think it sounds horrible on a girl. Honestly, I can't wait for the surname trend to go away (no offense).

Bradley is too masculine for a girl
A girl named something overtly masculine is not a nice image in my book. Unisex names are all right, but too many of them seem to be claimed by girls over time.
Unless your daughter turns out to be a butch lesbian (or just butch), then I recommend against this one for your daughter.
