GIRLS:
Amy
Allison
Alyssa
Anna
Britney
Caitlin
Kate
Catherine
Chelsea
Eleanor
Hillary
Jane - Jayne is a boy's name!
keira, kira, or kyra: None, dear lord.
Kristen
Leah
Madeline
Marcia
Michelle
Sara
Serena
Sofia
Theresa

BOYS:
Connor
Owen
Mark
Sean
Stephen

UNISEX:
aidan, aiden, or ayden: Aidan is NOT unisex, jeez.
Ashley
darrell, darryl or daryl:
ehren or erin: Erin is also not unisex. Erin is feminine, Aaron is male.
lee or leigh: Lee, although I'd probably choose Leigh for a girl, despite me being a girl named Lee.
lindsay, lindsey or linzi: LINZI, ARE YOU EFFING SERIOUS? People actually spell it like that? What the hell is wrong with them? Anyway. I lean towards -ey for boys, and -ay for girls.
reese or rhys: Again, depends on gender. Reese for girls, Rhys for boys.
reilly, riley, ryleigh, rylie: Riley, no matter what.
schuyler, skylar or skyler: NONE OF THE ABOVE. Sorry. I meant Skyler.

jayne is a boy's name?
if aidan isn't unisex, then what is it?
& yea, i've seen people spell it linzi.

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Haha, sorry. Firefly reference. And Aidan, to me, is always a boy's name. I know a lot of people feel otherwise, but hey.

Jayne is a boy's name?!

cite?? not that i necessarily don't believe you, but i just wanna see more into it! :)

(i didn't see it on behindthename, so if you know another babyname website with it or something, that'd be cool... if not, that's cool too. just curious)

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Haha, sorry. Firefly reference. There's a character named Jayne on there who's a bad-ass mercenary guy.

oh, wow, how did i not catch that reference (my friend is a huge Firefly fan, and getting me into the fandom a little, too haha)?!
