Boy or girl? 2nd edition!

caoimhe · September 27, 2010, 4:16pm

OK so on the last post lots of people were saying that different spellings would make a difference to which gender they thought on reading a name. So, I”ve compiled a list of some different spellings of the names in the middle of the table and a few others. They are deliberately mixed up! So what would your first gut reaction be to reading the name with no other information available: boy or girl? (no ambivalence allowed!)
[name]Sidney[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Cory[/name]
[name]Francis[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Riley[/name]
[name]Rowen[/name]
[name]Sydney[/name]
[name]Quin[/name]
[name]Finley[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Kasey[/name]
[name]Vivien[/name]
[name]Jordan[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Rylee[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Reece[/name]
[name]Findlay[/name]
[name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Casey[/name]
[name]Vivianne[/name]
[name]Cameron[/name]
[name]Reese[/name]
[name]Kacie[/name]
[name]Corey[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]

Enjoy! [name]Rachel[/name] x
