Ok so I was in class today and we started a new term. The teacher took attendance and there were some odd names and names that i was confused when they said here and were a different gender than i thought they would be.

The weird name was xanthe

Gender confusion
Tiffani- was a male
Stacie- was a male

I was so confused and thought they must have been teased so much growing up

I quite unisex names on boys, but yes those have taken a one way ticket to girl name territory. The spellings are quite stereotypically feminine too. Suppose guys would have more of a problem with having a girls name than vice versa.

Found out a few years ago that my given middle name is traditionally a boys name, which was quite odd but there you go.
There's a pretty even split of male and female Sages, so am happy with that. They tend to be balanced with clearly gendered middle names which helps.

Xanthe is a pretty cool name :)
