I was just thinking about this the other night... my waitress's name was Leslie and I remember hearing that it had been predominantly a male name. Maybe that's not accurate, I didn't see it in the list. Regardless, it's interesting (but not surprising, really) to me that shifting masculine to feminine is way more common than vice versa. I wonder how universal that is across cultures.
