I was in the hospital one time when each of three nurses I had on various days were each women who went by men’s names. True story.

Went to school in New Brunswick, Canada. Met boys named Ashley, Laurie and Alison.

In days gone by there were lots of boys' names that have now become almost universally girls' names like this. Beverly, Evelyn, Hilary, Vivian, Courtney, Meredith, Shannon, Leslie, and Shirley are in this category.

There are other names now undergoing the same shift, for example Jordan, Taylor, Dana, Morgan, and Sydney. Not one newborn boy in a million will carry any of these names in fifty years. Also the ridiculous "Mc" names like McKenzie are already nearly all girls' names.
