So I was wondering how certain unisex names get gendered today versus their "traditional genders." The polls got between 30-40 votes each (some of the percentages are a little off bc not everyone voted on all names). Some of the results really surprised me!

Like, I've never met a guy named Devon, but I know plenty of women. Jude was really surprising to me, because I only have feminine connotations for that, especially as a nickname for Judith. Tatum I always thought was traditionally a masculine name, but apparently it isn't (I've only met one Tatum tho). I know guys named Cameron, but I have a strong association of a female book protagonist named Cameron. Darcy I immediately think of Mr. Darcy haha.
