If that happens I expect the same hipster to name his son Shiela.

Well, names ending in -xter indicate a female, yet names like Baxter and Dexter are given to males. I like how the accurate definition of the name for Baxter is given, yet it's labeled as a male name.

Did those names used to be female but 100s of years ago they turned into male names?

It might be a boring meaning, but their goods are never boring.

They're still female. Usage doesn't change it's historical meaning. They're just now more popular amongst males, like many male names are more popular for females now.

I wonder if people will ever go back to using Kelly, Whitney, Lindsey, Ashley for boys.

Ewan Mcgregor holds hands with Mary Elizabeth Winstead


Ewan visited MEW on the set of "Gemini Man". She stars in the movie with Will Smith

Some still do, mostly as middle names, especially if they're family names.

Middle names like that sound Presidential.
