[Opinions] Kristen on a boy

I came across a Canadian actor on the Tudors named Kristen Holden-Reid. I was surprised because I've long thought Kristen sounded rather masculine (and it is Danish male name) but never believed I would see a guy with that name in the Anglo world. So, WDYT?

I have a male friend named Kristen. He goes by Kris.

Well, I don't really like to see my name on a boy. I'm biased I suppose, but it's always seemed pretty female to me.

I think it's strictly feminine. I can't imagine a guy named Kristen.

It doesnt sound bad on a guy, but I bet he got made fun of a lot growing up with such a common girl name.

Ditto

Although I can see Kristen on a guy. But it would surprise me too to see it in an English speaking country since it's such a common female name.

(hehe... the 3 letters I had to type to verify my post were "guy." Okay, maybe it's not that funny. :/)
