We were chatting about names, meanings, and which sex you might associate them with the other day in conjunction with one of the fine serials running.
Then, today, I noticed this story in the New York Times. (online subscription required, but easy to get and free.)

Saw The Same Story
In the International Herald Tribune. What caught my eye was the columnist's name of Marion, which was John Wayne's given name. I wonder if he got a hard time because of it?
Some not mentioned were names like Robin, which is usually a male name in UK (or Australia) but I believe is a girl's name in USA. In Hong Kong one learns not to be surprised at names used or adopted by HK Chinese. For instance I know a man called Mandy and a girl called Ida Ho. It all depends on location and the eye or ear of the third party, doesn't it?
Joanne
Another Mandy
There's a reasonably well-known male U.S. actor named Mandy Patinken.

In the US, Robin can be either. For example, Robin Williams and Robin Wright were both in the movie Toys.
