1. Evelyn, Shannon, Marion, Joyce

2. Jocelyn, Loren, Ariel, Kim

3. Aubrey, Jamie, Bailey, Brooke

4. Kelly, Ashley, Leslie, Stacy

5. Avery, Riley, Rory, Emery

6. Madison, Addison, Emerson, Taylor

7. Cameron, Peyton, Rowan, Reese

8. Aspen, Phoenix, Dakota, Paris

Shannon, Reese, Dakota, and Bailey aren't that girly. Jared Leto's brother is named Shannon, there's a character on Malcolm In The Middle named Reese, I used to have a guy friend named Bailey, and I used to date a guy named Dakota.

They seem more like guy names, except Shannon, that's the only one that truly sounds unisex.

Answer 31

HAH!  Let me tell you about unisex names...

My name is Kelly (Mrs)....my husband's name is Kelly (Mr)...

You need a VERY good sense of humor to marry someone with the same name!!

(Which just goes to show just how twisted we are...LOL)

EDIT: FAQ's

No - our son's name is NOT Kelly!!

Yes - we can tell which one people want when we answer the phones

Yes-  you wouldn't believe how important a middle initial is!

Yes - doctor's offices (and other places) do tend to get our paperwork confused!!
