What do you think of the name
René (hyperlink:
Rene) for a boy?
Below is the popularities of this name (as well as those for Renée on girls, which will be discussed below):
http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=Rene+Renee&popterm=&gender=both&extra=pEven though
René has sometimes been used incorrectly on girls (the correct feminine spelling is Renée [link:
Renee]), the boys have always had the majority with
René, and has not been on the girl's charts since the 1980s. So I think, at least for a boy born in the current generation, the gender issue shouldn't be a big obstacle with
René. Also, Renée on girls is used much less than it was several decades ago (in fact, for the past two years,
René ranked higher on the boy's charts than Renée did on the girls).
Edited to clarify a sentence.
