Yeah, I know quite a few male Cadences. This name is masculine enough to be considered unisex to me.

According to the statistic this name is traditionally more often used as a feminine name:
- Cadence (girl) was first used in the US in 1974.
- Cadence (boy) was first used in the US in 1992, 18 years later.
So traditionally it is more of a girls name. It was also way more popular for girls in general.
Of course it can be used for boys but it has no long usage as a boys name and has been used much longer for girls.

I know this thread was started forever ago lol. I have a boy names Cadence. I named him in 1999, long before this became a name anyone named anyone. I named him after the movie Cadence which I absolutely love and is an army movie... definitely not a girl movie, lol. He has never to this day been bothered by anyone about his name. People love it, he even now knows a girl named Cadence and still no one has ever teased him. I don't know who in the world decides what a girl's or boy's name is, but seriously, Cadence is a drum beat... how in the world can a drum beat be either male or female?! :P
Now almost 17 years old, and the type of boy that girls come out of the wood work every time we go anywhere in town... I definitely don't worry about him, lol. He loves his name, the girls love him, and no one has ever told him it's girly. Then again, I have a girl named Dakota, and another girl named Daelyn (which is a boys name Daelan and we just stuck a y in it to make it feminine). The only child I have with an apparently gender proper name is my daughter Kiera. Maybe I just like to take the path less taken :P.

A couple that used to attend my church named their second son Cadence. I don't know if this is just a one time use as a masculine name, but we are in Canada, if that's relevant.
