Reply to: Boy or girl name? by Caprice
There are very few names I think are genuinely unisex. I prefer most on boys.

Addison - boys.
Adrian - boy, Adrianne is a girls name.
Alex - either, since it's a nickname.
Alexis - boys.
Alison - girls never heard of a male Alison.
Angel - boys.
Ariel - both, I prefer Ariel on boys and Arielle on girls.
Ashley - I'd expect an Ashley where I live to be female but I prefer it as a male name.
Aubrey - Boy, although it's sadly getting more popular for girls around here.
Blaine - Boy.
Blair - Boy.
Carson - Boy.
Casey - Boy.
Chandler - Boy.
Charlie - Either as a nickname. I personally prefer Charles to Charlotte though.
Christian - Boy.
Colby - Neither it's cheese.
Corey - Boy.
