Shiraz
Would you find Shiraz a masculine or feminine name?It is a type of wine, and DH and I are discussing it (for pretend names) but curious what you all thought.-Elizabeth

Male (m) *edited*I went to school with a boy called Sharaz (pronounced shuh-RAZ) so before I saw the part about it being a type of wine I thought it was a variant of Sharaz.ETA: According to this site: http://www.muslim-names.co.uk/muslim-baby-boy-names-S-8.html Shiraz IS a male Muslim name so I was partly right just the wrong way round, Sharaz is probably a variant of Shiraz.

Thats cool, I didn't know it was a name being used by any culture. I think of it as a male name too. -Elizabeth

I can only think of wine...I think it would be a great name for a horse actually!

Female I guess... though all I can think of is wine.

I'd assume masculine, because it reminds me of the name of a guy I knew. His name was Riaz (REE-ahz, just as it looks), which I find really handsome...and overall much more tasteful than Shiraz. ;)ArrayETA: The last time I mentioned Riaz, it wasn't in the database! How exciting that it is now!
