It was masculine in Dickens, but the characters (in Pickwick Papers) all went by their lns anyway. Then when it suddenly became popular it was feminine and ubiquitous! Now it's history. I think of it as fem, but that does not mean I prefer it; I find it very dull and lacking in stature.

I've never been a fan. It's an early surname on a girl. Meh.

I like it. It’s definitely a throwback to the ‘70s and ‘80s but I do know a twenty-something Tracy (f).

I think it’s nice for a boy and in the same vein as Shannon, Kelsey, Courtney and Lindsay (I know males with the last two names). I think of Tracy McGrady.

I think it's very cute for a girl, though dated. Much more dated on a boy and sounds very "Appalachian."
I had an aunt, I guess you'd call her, named Tracy, though I think, (but not sure, it was spelled Tracey. I say "sort of" because she died years before I was born, when she was a few months old.

I don't mind it on a boy but dislike it for a girl. I can't say I'm a fan of the name itself but on a boy it sounds fresher.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad name, I just think it's outdated. I know two female Tracys so biasedly I'd prefer it on a female.

Tracy is ok for a girl

I don’t like it on either, but if I heard the name Tracey, I would think it was a girl.
