Lady Winslows

I was just randomly exploring Instagram hashtags for "winslow" because it's my cats name, but I happened upon photos of 3 different sister pairs with a Winslow in them

Winslow and Juniper (twins)
Winslow and Pippa
Winslow and Avery

Wdyt of Winslow being used (seemingly) more on girls? If I try really hard to separate it from my goofball cat, I can see the appeal, kinda.

It's listed as masculine here, but I didn't see any SSA or foreign equivalent rankings, so it doesn't look like it's used much.

On a girl, I'd assume it's a family name or they wanted Winnie as a nn, but not Winifred as a full name. I'm not a fan.

Winslow is 100% male to me. (Don't know about a Winslow cat?? I'll google it)

I think Winslow is very masculine and handsome.

It's a great cat name. First name on anyone, not so much.

Those sibsets are so insufferably posh.
There used to be a kids' show on PBS called "Word World" I think, and there was a pair of monkeys called Smooch and Winslow. I may be remembering the exact details wrong, but that's close enough. It's just too goofy.

I think of Family Matters, particularly Carl Winslow, so it doesn't seem very feminine to me.
