[Opinions] Re: Take a look at the popularity charts
Mostly as a misspelling or alternate spelling of Adrienne."Okay, what are your ideas? Taylor? Uh-huh. Fletcher? Cooper? Tanner? Where are you getting these? The Big Book Of Medieval Professions?"

Shawn & AdrianBoth 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.

Yes, more masculine...but I still remember people being unsure if Shawn was male or female. And I also remember a few female Adrians.Interesting about Erin.
