Ai is also used as a masculine name in Chinese. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine". Some evidence for this is that Ai is also used as a name element in unisex and masculine Chinese names, such as Ailin. Some known male Chinese bearers of this name are Xu Ai (an important Chinese philosopher during the mid-late Ming Dynasty), King Ai of Zhou (died 441 BC), Emperor Ai of Han (27-1 BC), Emperor Ai of Jin (341-365), and Emperor Ai of Tang (892–908).Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ai_(given_name)

I actually really like this name and the meaning. I prefer it as a middle name however.

Well it’s a Chinese name so you shouldn’t bash it. Names like these are considered normal in Chinese.

I agree; it is pronounced "IE".The "love, affection" meaning is fourth tone.The "friendly" meaning is third tone.

I know lots of Chinese girls named Ai. Even though it's meaningful, it's an old fashion name. And it should pronounced Ai (like "I"), I know it because I am Chinese.
