Male names on females

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

So, I was thinking about the whole trend of giving girls names which are blatantly masculine (Ryan, James etc), and I realised there are two women at my work who have men's names. I've worked there a year and a half so the names don't even sound odd to me anymore, but I remember when I started I thought it was very strange. We have a Merlin (in her 30s I think), and a Felix (probably late 40s). What do you guys think? Do you know any people with odd names which you hardly even notice because you know them?

My aunt's name is Merlyn, her's is short for Merlynda and I don't notice it at all because she's the only one I've ever known. I also knew a woman named Michael, I could never really get used to it though.
