Only M/F
Predominantly M/F (but could be the other)
Equally unisex
For:
Dylan
Kendall
Stacy (Stacey)
Devon (Devin, Devyn)
Dylan - predominantly male, but could be female
Kendall - only female
Stacy (Stacey) - only female
Devon (Devin, Devyn) - equally male/female
Dylan - male
Kendall - male, except I know a woman called this.
Stacey - female, unlikely to be male.
Devon - that’s a type of lunch meat here. As a name it sounds more male, but could be anything.
Dylan - Only Male
Kendall - Predominately Female
Stacy (Stacey) - Predominately Female
Devon (Devin, Devyn) - Predominately Male
What I associate with them:
Dylan - only male
Kendall - only male
Stacy (Stacey) - only female
Devon (Devin, Devyn) - only male.
That doesn’t mean anything around here though. People name their kids all kinds of weird things. (There is a male atty down in Jackson named Precious Martin).
I also presently know 2 or 3 men named Stacy. Over the years, I’ve run into people of either gender named Dylan, Kendall, Stacy, or Devon.
Dylan- Only male
Kendall-Predominately female
Stacy (Stacey)-Predominately female
Devon (Devin, Devyn)-equally M/F
I know all the names can go either way, but the first thing I think of for each name:
Dylan - male
Kendall - female
Stacy - female (even tho I went to school with males named Stacy & Tracy, brothers)
Devon - male
Dylan - Only M
Kendall - Only F
Stacy (Stacey) - Predominantly F (Tracey is like this too)
Devon (Devin, Devyn) - Predominantly M
I really like Devin for a girl, but with the exception of a couple of actresses, it’s almost always for boys that I’ve noticed.
Dylan–only male
Kendall–equal
Stacy (Stacey)–mostly female (I know there are guys named Stacey, but there shouldn’t be)
Devon (Devin, Devyn) --mostly female
Interesting. I know people of both genders with all of these names except one, which I named my youngest child, and never thought of as potentially unisex. I’ll elaborate after a few more replies…
Dylan
Only male
Kendall
Only male
**
Stacy (Stacey)**
Only female
Devon (Devin, Devyn)
Predominantly male (but I met a girl named Devon last month so obviously could be female)
agh, I should have asked for respondents to indicate their own gender. For many of the replies dividing by “only M/F”, I suspect a high degree of correlation to one’s own gender.
M
F
F
M
The first one is the only one where I might think, for a second, that it might be the other gender.
Dylan - unisex
Kendall - female (although I’ve never met a Kendall; I only know that was Sarah Michelle Gellar’s character on AMC)
Stacey - female (although I know it used to be male)
Devon - male
Me - female
Dylan - M/F
Kendall - M
Stac(e)y - F (for anyone under, say, 40)
Dev[o/y/i]n - F
Me - M
ETA: “I only know that was Sarah Michelle Gellar’s character” - I wondered if something like that was going on. I don’t know or know of any real-life Kendalls, it doesn’t sound feminine at all (IMO), and it looks like a combination of “Ken” and “Randall,” so I was puzzled that people perceived it as a girl’s name.
Dylan - male
Kendall - not a name
Stacy - female
Devon - not a name
Dylan only M
Kendall only F
Stacy Predominantly F but could be M (like, REALLY predominantly F for me)
Devon Predominantly M but could be F
Without reading any responses:
Dylan – My first impression would be male, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a specific Dylan were a girl
Kendall – I’d assume this person would be a guy. I’d be surprised, but not shocked, to learn I had been mistaken.
Stacy – First impression would be “chick” unless I knew the individual in question was born before 1960 or so. Older Staceys are more likely to be male.
Devyn, Devin, Devon – Probably female, with the certainty decreasing the further down my version of the list the spelling appears. If I hear “Devon” pronounced “De-VONN”, as in the case of baseball’s Devon White, I’ll figure the name refers to a man.
Dylan - male
Kendall - a dog or cat
Stacy (Stacey) - female
Devon (Devin, Devyn) - male or type of processed meat
Dylan - male
Kendall - female, but could be male
Stacy - female (but remember Stacy Keach, who is clearly not female)
Devon - female, unless spelled Devin, which sounds male to me (maybe because it sounds like Kevin)
