HelpEvelyn is male.
in reply to a message by BellamynSora
Evelyn is a male name. It is used on females now also, but that doesn't mean that it is in any way inappropriate for use as a male name.
If switching 'the gender of names' was wrong then wouldn't you approve of Evelyn being used for a male, rather than the females taking it?
I've taught a young boy named Evelyn and he wasn't teased at all.

I don't "disaprove" of Evelyn for a boy. It is a unisex name and I understand that. But currently it is seen (in the US at least) as a wholey female name. I DO disaprove of names traditionally used for one gender suddenly being flipped by some "innovative" person.
