Taylor and Tyler are often used in the same way. I've met both boys and sirls with both names. It's gotta be tough having to explain your way through life.

Oh, I don't really think so. There are lots of names that are used for both boys and girls. As long as it's common to use a name for both, it causes little confusion. It's only when you use a name that isn't commonly used for both that you get into trouble.
Calling a boy Alice or a girl Richard would cause a problem. Sydney or Sidney, on the other hand, won't cause any problems for either a girl or a boy.
It really doesn't matter. Remember Michael Learned? She seemed to do OK with a man's name.
