Christian is also used as a feminine name. See the "Meaning & History" section of this name, which reads, "In England it has been in use since the Middle Ages, during which time it was used by both males and females, but it did not become common until the 17th century.". However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine". Some known female bearers of this name are Christian Beranek, Christian Maclagan, Christian Pitre, Christian Ramsay, and Christian Serratos.Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_(given_name)

My name is Christian (kris te jahn) and I am male.
It has never been a strange name for me cause we don't have the word Christian in my language. The Swedish word for the religion is "Kristen".
By the way, I am an atheist and it doesn't bother me at all. :)
This was a very popular name in Germany in the late 1900s. It ranked at #10 in 1965, #7 in 1970, #1 in 1975, 1980 and 1985, and #3 in 1990 (behind Jan and Tobias).
My son is named Christian in honor of the first Dolloff to come to the Americas in the 17th century. It has proven an excellent choice as the short version Chris is easy to use and pronounce without being so common that it overlaps with others with the same first name, although he is not infrequently mislabeled Christopher (he does not seem to mind).
My oldest SISTER is named Christian. So this name isn't just for boys. I think it sounds nice for a girl too. My sister goes by Christi though because she's been mistaken for a guy before haha.
This name is not strictly masculine. It has been used on girls at least as far back as the 1500s. Back then it was very common for girls and hardly used for boys.I think this name is better suited as a girls name. I always thought it sounded rather feminine.
Historically Christian was used as a feminine name in Scotland, not masculine.
I know a girl Christian Grace, so really, the name can go either way. Almost every name can now. Like Logan for instance, it's a girl's name too, as is Christian.
This name is very common in Scandinavia, pronounced Kris-tee-jahn. I have about 12 friends who are called either Christian or Kristian.
In my family Christian is used very frequently, although as a feminine name. My great-grandmother's name was Ivy Christian, my aunt and my cousin bear Christian as a middle name. My second cousin's name is Ivy Christian, but she changed it legally when she was 18 to Christine Ivy.
Christian is also sometimes used as a girls name.
One of my good friends is named Christian, but she's a girl, so it CAN be a girl's name. She's an incredibly girly-girl at that too, but tough.
