If your name is Unisex, come on in here! Just declare your unisex name and enjoy!!!!!!!

I'm Madison, I'm 13 years old and I'm a girl. Everyone tells me that my name is for boys. I tell them to go away before I punch them. I generally just go by "Madi", though.

Really? I've never met a guy named Madison, but maybe that's just me. I'm Michelle, which is only unisex in France, I guess, but it's annoying when there's a Michael in my French class and my teacher insists on calling him Michel. It's just confusing.

I've known guys named Dana, Stacy, Taylor, and Leslie. Courtney Brown, the famous ufologist, is male (professor of something, I think). in Gone with the Wind, Ashley is the first name of the man Scarlett loves (the one who isn't Rhett), but it's usually given to girls today. Lots of English surnames can be used as unisex given names. Like, say, Madison.

Michael, like most angel names, can also be used as a female name (most famous example: Michael Learned, the actress; in fiction, there's Max Allan Collins' Michael Tree, a.k.a. Ms. Tree). Ariel is a male name in Israel but usually female in America. But Michael is usually one of those names with two gendered forms; the female version is usually Michelle, less commonly Michaela. Gabriel and Raphael are other angel names which usually require feminine endings in their female versions. In England, Leslie is gendered, the female version being spelled "Lesley". My name is another one of those gendered names: the female version of Dennis is always, always Denise.

Anybody with real unisex first names like Madison above?
