I once worked with a boy named Shannon. He said people automatically assumed he was a girl before meeting him. He talked about how one year in elementary school the teacher had made pink and purple name plates for the girls and blue and green for the boys. He got a purple name plate.

To me Alex is a unisex name. I don’t automatically assume an Alex is a boy or a girl until I meet them. The same for a Chris or Kelly.
Ashley is feminine to me and Mickey is masculine.
Nikita is a female name in English speaking countries but in Russia it is masculine.
