ArchivesDorian seems to be the only male name
in reply to a message by rainmaker
Interesting that all the others are female. Some of them are really popular too, but Dorian is not. I belive parents are more conservative when it comes to sons, so new names are not so readily accepted.

It should, logically, take off round about now, what with the vogue for geographical names ... I've only ever met one Dorian (who had brothers named Ashley and Mark), but there's a Dorianne here in South Africa who used to be on morning TV as a continuity person. I suspect it was probably Dorothy-Anne rather than feminised Dorian.
