Subject: Name genders

In TV news reports of the floods in north Cornwall yesterday, I noticed a male fire fighter named Tracey and a male RAF officer named, or called, Florry.

Dickens used Tracy as a male name, and I would guess that Florry comes from Florian rather than Florence, if it isn't a non-name nickname. Interesting, though, and a refreshing change from all the little American girls with male names ... has anyone else noticed something similar, or is this just a one-off?
