Re: Unisex names that you ONLY like for one gender.

Feminine:
Amal
Blair
Briar
Brook (though I still prefer Brooke)
Celeste (I think it's only masculine in Italy)
Domino
Esme
Farah / Farrah (only the first is listed as unisex)
Haven
Jade (listed as unisex, but I've never heard of boys named this in my time, in any language)
Jaye
Joan (I think it's only masculine in Catalonia and Provence)
Karen (I think it's only masculine in Armenia)
Lindsay
Maris (I think it's only masculine in Latvia)
Moss
Nur
Onerva
Penrose
Raven
Sage
Sloan (though I still prefer Sloane)
Sydney
Vesper (thank you, 007)
Willow (not listed on the site as unisex, but one of the most famous fictional characters named Willow is male)
Masculine:
Cameron (I know Cameron Diaz is famous, but I just... no)
Devon
James (I'm seeing a disconcerting rise in baby girls with James as a middle name, when it wasn't someone's maiden name)
Jude
Julian (feminine in the Middle Ages)
Leland (the most famous real-life bearer I can think of is the dancer Leland Palmer, a woman - and yes, the Twin Peaks character got his name from her; and today she goes by Linda Posner, anyway)
