Help[Opinions] Re: Evan (girl)
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
Take a look at the popularity statistics for Jamie. As soon as it started being used for girls in any significant numbers, it dropped like a stone for boys.

As I said
"not a two way street".
If a name is used more on girls, it's a girls name forever.
If it's used more for boys, it's fair game for girls. Apparently.

Then why do you say my logic is flawed simply because I think Aubrey will fall for boys when it goes up for girls? And why do you use Mason as an example? Of course Mason goes up for girls because it's similar to Ryan, Dylan etc which also went up for girls when they became common for boys. To prove your point you should find a feminine sounding boys names that went up for boys after becoming popular for girls.
I can't figure out if the first part of your post is you being sarcastic or if you actually mean it. It really doesn't sound sarcastic at all (the Mason part) but then the second part obviously is so I'm confused.
The Mason argument in my post was simply to show how quickly a name can rise and had nothing to do with the boy/girl name thing.

I used Mason as an example because you used Mason.
(and just because the majority of the country feels the same, doesn't mean the thought process isn't wrong. millions of people can totally be wrong).

I used Mason as an example for a name that climbed fast, not for the boy/girl comparison which I think is pretty clear. I know that millions of people can be wrong but in this case...no.
