Ivy... for a boy

[Angiepoise]

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

Any other examples? Just for fun.

I know a male Kim and a male Darcy.

I know a guy named Laurie and another's Lesley. I know a female name Julian and a Dylan.

Leslie was also a boys' name first. Ages ago I met someone who was convinced Michael would eventually become a girls' name.

I know a male Shannon and a man with the middle name Stacey

I also know or know of boys/men called...

Elisha
Darcy
Eden
Jade
Willow
Kelly
Kerry
Lindsey
Skye
Joss
Evelyn
Paris
Vivian

My husband watches something called Storage Wars (I think it is that one - he watches a few of those types of programs) and there is a chap called Ivy on there.

I know of a Kym, Beverley and Stacey who are all male.

I went to school with a boy Jody. None of us thought anything of it.
I knew a guy whose middle name was Kim. We were late teens when I knew him - he absolutely hated it.
I knew a male Jordon, I know it's mostly a male name but this was at height Katie Price fame time.
I worked with a male Laurie - always felt a very feminine name to me. I know it is a male name though, but even so.

I was at school with a male Kimberly.
I have met a male Kerry, which I think is not uncommon in Ireland.

Of course Evelyn Waugh was married to another Evelyn.

Oh I also knew a Jocelyn, he went by Joss. He did not like the long version at all.

And a male Ceri at college.

Ceri Davis who edits the archers ( the best episodes !) is most definitely mr ceri.

I knew a Holley, who introduced himself to everyone as 'Holley yes I know it's a girls name'.

Was it Ivy Lee, OP? Wondering if you read the same article as me this morning!

Ivie was a Scottish boy's name long before Ivy came along for girls. It's kind of fallen out of use in the last 80 years or so. A Galwegian form of John, apparently.

Lots of men in the Clan Campbell were called Celestine, back in days of yore. Can't see it making a comeback somehow!

Yes, Atia!

I,ve known men called
Tracey
Kim
Ceiligh (Kelly)
And a girl called Rory.

Andrea is a boy name in Italian but a girl name in French

I used to know a male Kim, also a girl called Darcie and her (slightly older) male cousin Darcy. I've met a female Rory and my husband has a male cousin called Kerry.
(I do feel a little sorry for Noel Mary Timothy ... poor man )

Yup I know a male Tracey and a male Stacey. Both really great guys who have become very successful. (Just goes to show the man maketh the name and not the other way round as we would often have it on these debates).

Bob Wilson's middle name was Primrose.

Oops. Is, I should say.

He's not dead. So that's nice

I had a male and female Jordan in the same class once.

My (male) doctor as a kid was called Valerie

I know a male Vivian and an Eden.

They are male names though.
