In French-speaking cultures (including Quebec), Patrice is a male name, the original French form of Patrick. (Patrick itself has been more common in France, recently, however.) But in the USA, Patrice is considered a feminine form, and that isn't a recent phenomenon. Between 1945 and 1995, Patrice was among the top 1000 names given girls born in the USA, according to the SSA list. It has never been among the top 1000 names for boys in the USA.
