Unisex means it's NOT lost to the boys at all though. It's only lost to the boys if it becomes feminine, but even then you can name your son whatever you want even if it's more common for girls.

This has gone down in Naming History many times though. Ashley, Addison, Madison, Leslie, the list can go on. Now today most people probably can’t even imagine those names on a male. (Probably more so America than others) there’s nothing wrong with unisex names but just saying.

Unisex SHOULD mean it's usable for both. It almost never works that way in the end. Ashley was considered male originally. Then unisex for a brief moment. And finally, exclusively female. Now, if you suggested naming a boy Ashley, you'd get all kinds of blowback from people saying it's feminine. It's the typical pattern.
