Most people I know with this name are female, but I have encountered a few men who have this name. It's more popular for females now, however.

Male Whitney here... was teased as a kid in the late 80's when Whitney Houston became famous. Still people address their mails/letters, 'Dear Mrs. Whitney' :-(

My name is Whitney, I'm a 25 year old male. Whitney is a family name (my father and great grandfather both used it).Whitney is actually my middle name but for some reason I went by it (my father did as well). When I was young I used to get a lot of grief for it, but once I was in junior high it was never an issue again. I have met several female Whitney's, though I've had any as a classmate/co-worker/close friend, so I suppose it's not that common of a name. I find that people tend to remember my name easier because most people haven't met a male Whitney before.Last weekend I met my first male Whitney at a mutual friend's house party. We both agreed that no matter how high a note Whitney Houston can sing, we'd still be able to forgive her. In conclusion, love my name and glad I never started using my lame first name.
