HelpAlison Renee
And HIS name is... Tah dah... Alison Renee. OMG!
My friend had her baby whom she has claimed forever was going to be a girl. But he wasn't. So she gave him both fn and mn that are marginally (in my opinion) unisex. I think together he is going to be forever mistaken to be a girl. I feel bad for him. Am I out to lunch or what?

Way too feminine for a boy. Renée is the feminine spelling, the masculine is René. And Alison is mostly a feminine name nowadays.
It's really a desperate "oh no, I wanted a girl!" Poor kid.
(I don't mean that a boy needs an über-masculine name, but I feel sorry for him because his names make it sound that he's unwanted.)

You're the same one who liked Kimberly for a boy.
Neither Alison nor Renee is marginally unisex. But you're making stuff up so it doesn't matter.

Renee is the female form. That's my name and I can't imagine a boy named Renee. Rene, yes. But Renee, no. And yes, I do feel that he will always be mistaken for a girl. You're not out of touch.

The only way it could work would be if Alison was Allison with two Ls - in other words, the surname. And if Renee was Rene. I know a Rene - he's the second son, and I find it a bit unfortunate for that reason, but as a name it's fine.
I do hope your friend doesn't think that any name that ends in -son is therefore male.

Now that's just unfortunate. Really unfortunate. On a girl, it would be very nice spelled this way.

Is this real? Yeah that's pretty bad.
Alison may have -son but it's not the same origin as "male child"... it's just a diminutive of Alice. And Renee is specifically the feminine spelling of Rene. Unless this kid's gender is female, this isn't going to be fun for him.

I really don't find either even marginally unisex. Not in the US, at least. That's so awful for a boy. So so awful.
