I'm just curious. It doesn't affect my life one way or the other. Do people think it gives their female child a head start in life? Did they want a boy and get a girl instead?
I'm referring to names that were once given exclusively to boys such as Hunter, Madison, Taylor, Casey, Tyler, Ashley and there are many others.
I recently met someone who named their adorable little girl Grey. I feel sorry for the sweet little girl. If everything is going towards gender neutral then why isn't the reverse true? I don't see any boys with names like Ann or Karen.

There's plenty of men/boys with names that are typically considered feminine. Whitney, Leslie, Ashley, Francis, Carol, Lynn, Shannon, Stacy, Tracy, etc.

Half of the names you listed are traditional men's names, not women's.
Most people probably now think of Ashley as a girl's name, and as far as I know, Madison started being popular following the movie "Splash." I had never heard it before that.
Traditionally Marion is a male name and Marian is a female name.
