Hello :),
I'm fascinated by personal names. I have eclectic tastes, and within reason, a vast appreciation for names of various type, genre and language. I hold a particular penchant for names with a Zen quality, such as those that are intriguingly subtle, or whose meanings are intrinsic to the self, gender-specific, or refer to, or are related to the meaning "life".

Leighton
Leighton makes for a lovely unisex name, but WHY is it listed first as feminine rather than masculine? Given its origin is specifically male, it makes no sense to list this or any other name of a specific origin predominantly as the opposite gender, regardless whether more females, (currently in the United States) have begun to bear the name....
