I'm not seeing an oipinion: just a list.
Colin? Maybe if parents wanted to use Colin and had a daughter instead, they might consider Collyn, but why, when Colleen exists?
Alex - all the Alexa people I know never shorten it. Brandi or -y is so dated and was always fem. Carl for boys, Carla, nn Carl if necessary, for girls. Andy, yes but as a nn; I knew an Ann who was sometimes called Andy. Tomison - if you have seen this IRL, you can submit it, but I certainly haven't. Wren seems fem. I'm not familiar with Kalani. Shay is male to me, derived from Seamus; I don't appreciate it because it's just too close to Shame. Ash- names could be either; I dislike them all. Aston, mn Martin? I find car names unfortunate. Blair, Blake and Brook(e) seem exclusively American so far. Camryn probably fem. Chandler is a ln and was a male occupation. Coby? Coby, in the form of Cobie or, more likely, Kobie, works as a nn for Jakoba so fem is fine. Dallas, not outside the US. Darian? Darien is geographical, but I've never seen it with an -a- or on a human. Derby, like the horse race - just another place name. Sorry, Lsia, I'm getting thoroughly bored with this. I'll be selective: Dylan, m. Leigh, preferably f. Morgan, m. Robin, m. Teddie, who knows; Teddy, m. Toby, like my cat, m, The rest can be whatever anyone likes; I haven't seen them IRL and wouldn't use them.

Alex on a girl is usually short for Alexandra or Alexandria, Alexa is short enough already that no one really shortens it to Alex (but they do sometimes shorten it to Lexi/Lexie/Lexy.)
I've never actually met a Seamus (US) but I've met a lot of girls named Shay, Shae, and elaborations like Shaya, Shayna, and Shayana.
I like Wren, Kalani, Tristen, Robin, River, Morgan, and Devin. I would like Sinclair if it didn't remind me of the petrol company.
How I'd group these names:
Male - Carl, Andy, Tomison, Ashton, Aston, Blair, Blake, Brook, Chandler, Coby, Dallas, Darian, Dylan, Davis, Jaden, Sinclair, Robin, Reign, Ricky, Riley, Leigh, Logan, Mickey, Kirby, Kevin, Parker, Teddie, Toby, Tristen, Windsor, Murphy, Lake
Female - Wren, Kalani, Shay, Brooke, Brandi or Brandy, Camryn, Paris, Page, Haven
Unisex - Alex, Skyler, Jamie, Joss (on a girl I'd expect it to be short for Jocelyn), Morgan, River, Kennedy, Devin
(I have met people with names outside this list-- I've seen girls named Blake, Logan, Parker, and Mickey; Paris, Robin, and Kalani are really unisex; etc. but this is how I instinctively categorize these names. Cameron would be unisex or male but Camryn is definitely one of those American "feminizations" with a random y.)
I've never heard of Derby or Sebby. I've met a few girls named Darby, and I'd guess Sebby was short for Sebastian so probably male.
