Inspired by seeing "BRADY" on a 'unisex' list...

Not only is this inspired by reading the name Brady on quite a few "unisex" lists, but also the fact that I went to school with a girl named Timothy Maureen.

At what point does a name go from 'unisex' to "that girl has a boys name"? What names have you heard on girls that you would say are (or should be) exclusively male?

I went to school with a girl named Jonnie Leigh, named for some relative. I would never name my girl that, but it worked for her. I've never known a Brady and because of the way things are now I consider Lindsey, Morgan, Ashley, Shannon (my own name) as girl names. I would feel bad for a boy with those names (except for maybe Shannon). I also new a girl named Kyle. She got teased for other things, not really her name. I think that one is definitely a boy's name, as well as some of the other that have been mentioned like James, Elliot, Malachi, Timothy, Matthew, as well as Benjamin, Christopher, Thomas, Caleb, Nicholas, David, Greg, Patrick, Oscar, William, Michael, Jack, Robert...
