Do you know any cross gender names?

There are lots of names that work for males or females. For instance, Terry or Terri, of course Chris can be a girl or boy. Then there is Jean and gene. Some other names are like Ashley which was originally a boy's name then became more attached to the female gender but now I know one of both! The newest one for me was Cody. I met a girl named Cody. That was a first for me but she was comfortable with it! Can you remember any more cross gender names?

Hi there macdingolinger
I have a friend who's daughter's name is Cody but I think they spell it Coddie. There is also Alex, Alexander and Alexandre, Danny and Dannii, Charlie and Charlee, Frankie and Franky just to name a few off the top of my head.

Alexandra is the female of Alexander. Just clarifying because it's my name and people are still always calling me Alexander instead!
I go by Allie though, and funnily enough, Ali is a boy's name too! That's why I spell mine the way I do. Plus for some reason looking at it reminds me of the very hungry caterpillar and that makes me smile (the "ie" is his head).

Jordan seems to be a popular boy and girl name now.
My name can be shortened to Alex, which is unisex too, as is Sam.

Tracey is the first that pops into mind.. it's mostly a girls name but I've known some men with that name. Tristan is a name that is mostly for boys, but it sounds girly to me so I gave that name to my daughter. She has had boys in her class with that same name, but we've rarely run into a girl with that name. Taylor is another one that can be boy or girl.. I remember the big to do over Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner when they were dating.. it was too cute!

My friend has a brother called Jody and that is also a girls name. I know a lady called Tony and that is is boys name too. I have taught a little girl called Kerry. I know Kerry is also a boys name. I know a male called Chris and a female called Chris. One of my friends is called Sam and that can also be a boys name. The shortening of my name is Max. That can be a boys name too. It is interesting that a pregnant lady could choose the name Ashley and it would work well if she had boy or a girl.
