Re: Traditionally Unisex Names
in reply to a message by Anthroponomastics
I wouldn't consider those names to be traditionally unisex. I'd consider them to be traditionally masculine which transitioned to feminine. I can't think of a name that started as feminine and moved to be masculine.

Any surname name really begins as masculine.
The only names I would consider to be unisex would be some modern word names or nature names. Though really these aren't traditionally names at all.
