It's nice they bring back old Threads to see if members respond to them. It's like a piece of nostalgia.
I'm glad you pointed that out Americans love to mess with the sex of names for example all the fallowing are boys names but if you ask the average person they would think you nuts thees are all the boys spellings

Joyce
Julie
Aaron
Cary
Gene
Lee
Leslie
Paddy
Robin
Reese
Tyler
Terry
Tony

thees are mostly girls names but are used as boy names too
Angel
Alexis
Ariel
Armani
Avery
Bailey
Dakota
Emerson
Harley
Jamie
Kennedy
London
Peyton
Shannon
Riley
Skylar
Thees are but a few examples so next time you read a name don't assume you know the sex of the individual that posses it you mite be wrong

Sorry this is a bit of a pet peav for me many people reticule thees individuals its not there fault and almost all of thees names are ancient in origin and what a extraordinary gift to give your child but the rich traditions of naming them with such prestigious and historic name many of which have belonged to some vary famous people
