Today I read about an American man from the early 20th century called Ivy.

Any other examples? Just for fun.

I don't anyone on a personal level, but.
I've heard of
Lindsay

As boys names.

I knew of a little boy called Shelley

I think with in the next 50 years or not even that. All names will be neutral gender.
No one will turn a hair at a boy named Rose

Romantic novel I like with a hero called Ivo

I think Lindsey Beverley and Stacey were originally boys' names though

A girl I knew called her son Sasha.....
A distant relative called her son Darcy.

I know a Lindsey. He's usually called by his full name though.

user1471734618 · 24/08/2016 22:48

Sasha is a boy's name though, isn't it?

DunelmBrokeMe · 24/08/2016 22:50

Mary was not uncommon as the obligatory middle saint's name for Irish Catholic boys. I was chatting to a man today whose full name is Noel Mary Timothy Collins. He's in his late forties.
