A lot of it depends on the spelling and a lot of these names, as least the ones listed for women, are typically nicknames, so it would depend if I know the full name or not. For me, most people I know named Chris are men named Christopher and for girls I see Kris for Kristina or Christine/Christina going by Christy or Chrissy. Also, most women I know go by Patty instead of Pat, but the men go by Pat. I have only met a man named Terry with that spelling. Any women I have met have spelled it Teri or Terri. Lee I tend to see more masculine and Leigh for girls. I have a friend who is a girl named Micki, so that makes it seem more feminine. Again, it is a nickname. All of those listed as boy names, I would first think were women. I have never met a man with any of those names but have met several women with them. I know some men named Jamie and Shannon. Alex or Sam, I would fully have no idea without a full name or having met them.
