I would say all male.
But I also think Sam and Alex are ok for girls too.

These are the genders I prefer them on:

---

*Kinley -girl
*Carter -boy
*Sam -boy
*Alex -boy
*Cory -boy
*Hayden -boy
*Chris -boy

*Kinley - girl
*Carter - guy
*Sam - girl, while I like Sam better on a guy I knew a lot of Samanthas at my school.
*Alex - guy, again like it better on the opposite sex but it is just from people I personally know.
*Cory - girl, I know a girl named Kori.
*Hayden - boy
*Chris - boy, but with a K, Kris I think of girl personal experience.

*Kinley neither, just a surname, and too close to Kinsey as in the Kinsey report
*Carter male, 100%
*Sam better on a boy, ok as a nn for Samantha
*Alex fine on both, better as a nn
*Cory male but with a "girly" feel
*Hayden male
*Chris
both as a nn for names starting with "Chris"

All male.

I'd assume they were male first. Alex and Sam could go either way, but the rest seem distinctly male to me.

Kinley -- Neither. If I have to pick, I pick girl (eek).
Carter -- Boy.
Sam -- Both (nickname only).
Alex -- Boy
Cory -- Boy
Hayden -- Boy
Chris -- Both (nickname only).

This is what I would assume if I just saw the names written:

---

Kinley - girl
Carter - boy
Sam - boy
Alex - boy
Cory - boy
Hayden - boy
Chris - boy

Kinley - girl
Carter - boy
Sam - boy
Alex - boy
Cory - boy
Hayden - boy
Chris - boy

*Kinley -Girl
*Carter -Boy
*Sam -Boy
*Alex -Boy
*Cory -Boy
*Hayden -Girl
*Chris -Boy

*Kinley - guy
*Carter - guy
*Sam - either
*Alex - either
*Cory - guy
*Hayden - guy
*Chris - guy

*Kinley- girl
*Carter- boy
*Sam- boy
*Alex- either
*Cory- boy (spelled like this)
*Hayden- either
*Chris- boy

---

Kinley b
*Carter b
*Sam either
*Alex either
*Cory b
*Hayden b
*Chris b

*Kinley- girl
*Carter- boy
*Sam- girl
*Alex- girl
*Cory- boy
*Hayden- girl (although I like it on a boy too)
*Chris- boy

Aside from Kinley, I automatically think "guy" for all of them for the most part. Kinley seems like it could go either way, but American parents would probably be more apt to use Kinley for a girl considering it's similarity to popular names for girls like Kimberly.

I have heard Sam and Alex used as nicknames for Samantha and Alexandra, Alexa, Alexis, etc., so I can imagine them as unisex. "Boy" comes to mind first though.

Kinley - boy
Carter - boy
Sam - both depending on the name. I wouldnt name a girl just Sam though.
Alex - both
Cory - both but i like Cory more for a boy
Hayden - boy
Chris - again, the same as Sam.

*Kinley - girl
*Carter - boy
*Sam - either...I know too many girls by this name but know of guys too
*Alex - same as with Sam
*Cory - boy
*Hayden - girl
*Chris - boy

Aubrey
Morgan
Ryan
Lou
Marty - short for Martin or Martha/Marta
Nicky
George - the name of a character in the Nancy Drew series...this could be short for Georgia, Georgina or Georgiana, or in the old days by itself.

*Kinley - girl
*Carter - boy
*Sam - can be a nn for both
*Alex - same as Sam
*Cory - boy
*Hayden - boy
*Chris - could be a nn for both
