It's adorable, I love it. It is pretty quirky and obscure nowadays, but I think it's a great name! I never thought of it as being gender neutral, Basil is like Clive or Aloysius to me, a very buttoned up Victorian gentleman name ... Are you pronouncing it like the plant? BAY-zul? Yeah, that's pretty cute.

If you really wanted to blow people's minds, spell it Basel, like the city is Switzerland.
