Sho is a female protagonist from the game Pokemon- The Legend of Arceus.
I have been working with several Sho in Japan, it is a common male name in Japanese.
Sho is also used as a feminine name in Japanese. However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine".Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex_name

Shō was used as a girl's name back in the olden days. Based on some research that I've done (gathering names from passenger lists and US census data), Shō was uncommon in the late Edo period and the Meiji period. Those that do have the name were more likely to have theirs written in kana.This goes back to the fact that 2 syllable names were preferred at the time, more so before the Meiji period. Towards the 2nd half of the Meiji period and the Taishō period, those types of names were quickly shunted out in popularity by names ending in *ko.
The word "shō" can mean "small" in Japanese.
My son has a little boy in his preschool class with the name Sho-un (Pronounced: SHAWN). He is of Asian decent, and I'm pretty sure the first part of his name relates to Sho/Shou, but I'm unsure what the "un" means/relates to. I've often wondered if this was their way of taking a name that they liked and spelling it to relate to their heritage.
