Kal is right - those names were immensely popular a couple decades back, but no so much now. They were SO common at one point, I would guess that parents actively avoid such names now (of course, they'll naturally migrate to other names that will ultimately become overly common).

So I stopped trying girls, then I get done and see Jocelyn, Julia, and jasmine. But that's it. If its both, where's Jessica, Judy, Jennifer, Jane, Jillian, Joan, and so on.

Oh my goodness, why on earth would it be offensive to anybody, especially Christians? Should Mary also be "banned" or all of the Biblical Patriarchs in the name of political correctness? It would leave quite a large hole in the naming process. Jesus was a name used long before Christ. Would it be better to retire the name like its Michael Jordan's jersey and forget about it or to continue to use it and remember?

unisex i guess, I can see jordan both as male an female. Jayden to me looks male, but any name can turn unisex, it simply has to be used often enough for the other sexe.

I'd be interested to see all the unisex names in the world (and not the few exceptions, it should be names that are used regularly like that) also the ones that are masculine in one country and feminine in another.
