Unisex?

About a week or so ago, I posted about he name Devin. From the responses, it appears some people feel the name is not really a unisex name.

I've never met anyone with this name. The closest I've heard is Denver and that was in a movie.

There was a girl in my elementary class named Devin, but I don't recall how it was spelled. I'm 32.

Lately though, it seems more boys have this name. I don't know anyone though.

I think it's unisex. I've never met a Devin, that I can remember.

I voted unisex.  I have two female cousins named Devyn and Devon, both are in their late 20s. 

I'm sure I've met male Devons, I just can't remember in particular.

I went to preschool with a male Devin forever ago, and I remember a female Devon on one of "The Real World" seasons a few years back.

I didn't vote because I am not sure what to think. The only I've met is a girl; but before her, I would have definitely thought it was strictly a boys' name. Pretty sure she spells it Devin.

My niece's name is Devon. The year she was born I knew 2 other people having a baby and they all choose the name Devon. 1 a boy and 1 a girl, all the same spelling.

One of my co-worker's son's name is Devin. He is 5years old.

The only one I know IRL is a girl, spelled Devyn.  I much prefer it as a boy's name though.

The first person I ever met with this name was a girl, spelled Devin, in high school (so she's in her 30's now).  So I thought it was a girls name.  I never met a male Devon (usually this spelling) until I started teaching.  And there are a ton of them.

Although I know people of each sex with this name,I tend to think of it as a boy's name.I know 5 male Devins (all spelled that way)and one female Devon.

I've met a lot of boy Devins, but only one girl Devin, spelled the same way. The name fits her, though. She is very outgoing, kind of a class clown, but the kind teachers like, and she's a bit of a tomboy. I wouldn't name a girl Devin if you were hoping for her to be a girly girl, but that's just because none of the Devins I know are very girly.

I don't know any Devins, but I know 2 Devons. One is a girl and one is a guy (they are both my age). I knew the girl first from a young age, so I usually associate it with being feminine.
