Do you think spelling a name differently can make it more feminine or masculine?

If it's a legit spelling and not a made-up one (e.g. Kevynne).
The Frances/Francis thing I agree with.
Also, I see Cary as male, Carrie as female, and Carey as unisex.
Leslie is unisex and Lesley is female.
Umm... I can't really think of any more.

Thought of some more. Lyndon = masculine, Linden = feminine. Devin = masculine, Devon = feminine. Danny = masculine, Dani = feminine.

I agree about Carey/Cary/Carrie

same with Leslie/Lesley
