[Opinions] Take a look at the popularity charts
in reply to a message by Cayden
Adrian was used as a female name for a period of time before switching over to being mostly male.
I don't like it for either gender.

Mostly as a misspelling or alternate spelling of Adrienne.
Shawn & Adrian
Both of these names were used for girls, both around the same period of time. Both of the names swung back to mostly Masculine.

Neither of these were ever "more feminine" though. Even at their peaks they leaned more male. Most people wouldn't call Erin masculine, but Erin (m) and Adrian (f) have pretty similar charts.
I don't agree with Lia that people were "misspelling" Adrian though. I'm sure it feels good to assume everyone's stupid and can't spell but it's probably just that people preferred that spelling. Adrienne was also on the chart at that time.
