I know that both are male and an anglicized form of Fionnlagh, but I was wondering which one came first (if anyone knows). Secondly, I was wondering if "a"s & "e"s are ever used to differentiate between a female or male name in any language and if anyone could provide an example. I know that Skyler is a variant of Skylar and have heard that the "a" tends to be feminine & "e" tends to be masculine for this and others name, is that just a personal thing or is their any linguistic evidence to support that trend? I know with a name like Finlay it would be trend thing, since its a masculine name, but is their any evidence to suggest that this is a logical way to suggest feminization?
