Meet a man who's surname is James instead. ;)
James on a girl is just horrible if you ask me. It's totally masculine. You wouldn't name a son Elizabeth, would you? And hopefully you wouldn't name a daughter Matthew either? James on a boy is handsome, on a girl it's just awful...

Agreed. James is a handsome, masculine name and it does not belong on a female; Ashley, Kelly, Casey, Madison, and Leslie seem to have been claimed by girls, and would somebody please explain to me why gender-neutral names gradually become female-only territory?

I think it's because most parents are terrified at the idea of giving their sons names that could be thought of as feminine in the least amount, whereas parents of girls are more creative and less afraid to look outside the box for names. Just my take on it.
