HelpRe: "Legitimate" English Unisex names? (added more)
in reply to a message by SugarPlumFairy
Do you count names that sound the same but usually have different spellings depending on the gender? Course, in the old days, there were no set spellings.
Clair (m) / Clare (f)
Loren (m) / Lauren (f)
Francis (m) / Frances (f) - feminine form from the masculine form, but it dates back to the 1600's.
Also, Julian. It's been used on both genders since the middle ages.

That reminds me
Julian reminded me of Christian. It used to be used more on females, but now is more masculine. Still, I'd consider it pretty unisex.
And I'm glad to see someone else mention Clair being masculine on here! It's a family name for me, but it's so rarely mentioned or recognized around here.
