Shun is much more masculine than feminine.

Based on some research that I've done (gathering names from passenger lists and US census data), Shun was a pretty uncommon name for girls to have in the late Edo period and the Meiji period.
2 syllable names were preferred at the time, more so before the Meiji period, which is why Shun was seen as a girl's name. Towards the 2nd half of the Meiji period and the Taishō period, those types of names were quickly shunted out in popularity by names ending in *ko.
