I automatically think boy when I hear/read the name Devon/Devin. Although, I know a guy and woman who are Devin's. IMO, I think if I saw the spelling of Devon, I wouldn't pronounce it as Devin. I'd pronounce it as the word "on."
I grew up with a girl name Devin. I didn't know it was boy's name until much later, so I associate this with a girl. I would say it's unisex now. Devon is definitely the male spelling. I've seen Devin and Devyn for a girl.
I have both male and female friends with that name. The women spell it Devon, and the men Devin. I don't think that's a rule though! I prefer it spelled Devon.

I've known equal numbers of both boy and girl, which makes the name unappealing for me. I guess I would think Devin is a girl and Devon is a boy (and with slight variations in pronunciation - Dev-in vs. Dev-un), but I've seen boy Devins.
Re: Do you associate this name with boy or girl?
It doesn't really matter how you spell it. It's 100% boy, IMO.

This. I like the spelling of Devon. Devin just looks like it was spelled wrong....
This.
Devin, boy.
Devon, boy also, but the one I know is pronounced De-VAWN.

This.
Seeing it spelled that way makes me think of a girl because I know a female Devon who is in her 30s.
I know a male Devin in his 20s. I don't care for this spelling because, like a PP mentioned, it reminds me of "devil".
Meh. I guess I associate the name with both depending on the spelling. Not sure which gender I would think of first when hearing it.
