What gender do you see these names as or do you see them as unisex, I’m asking because I often see unisex names as a girls name or boy name and there’s very few I can see as either:
Logan
Rowan
Reese
Wren
Jordan
Taylor
Robin
Spencer
Ellis
Avery
Eden
Blake
Blair

I know there’s hundreds more but off the top of my head these are what I can think of.

I always see names as one or the other, not necessarily because they 'sound' more like that gender but because I prefer them for that gender for example I like Charli for a girl but wouldn't call a boy Charlie even though it's def a more common boys name.

Anyway,

Logan boy
Rowan boy
Reese boy
Wren boy
Jordan boy
Taylor boy
Robin boy
Spencer boy
Ellis boy
Avery girl
Eden girl
Blake boy but then I know a boy and a girl called Blake
Blair boy but again know a girl named Blair

Robyn, Wren and Eden I prefer as girls names.

I’m in Canada so maybe a different perspective but:

Logan - unisex (I know both male and female ones)
Rowan - unisex (I only know female ones though)
Reese - unisex
Wren - female
Jordan - unisex (I know both male and female ones, more girls though)
Taylor - unisex (I know both male and female one, more girls though)
Robin - unisex
Spencer - unisex
Ellis - female (?)
Avery - female
Eden - female
Blake - unisex (I know both male and female ones)
Blair - unisex (I know both male and female ones)

My niece is Jordan but spelt Jordain

Surely the pronunciation is different. As in ordain, refrain, detain, as opposed to tan, sedan (these being not quite the same as Jordan anyway). Hmm
