Winter sounds potentially unisex. And I also like Keziah and Aspen on boys.

In medieval times, Julian and Christian were used as feminine names, and I wonder if they will make a comeback... however, I doubt it, since we already have Julianna, Julianne, Christina, Christine, etc.

I've also been pondering about Dorian for a girl, because of Dorian Leigh, who also had a sister named Florian!

Essentially yes. The reason is that whether a name is a ‘boy’ name or a ‘girl’ name varies depending on people’s perception. And also varies depending on the time period and culture. For example, Evelyn, which is currently very popular as a 'girl' name, was previously a 'boy' name. and 'Jun/June' is a 'girl' name in English-speaking countries, but is often used in 'boy' names in Korea.

Any name, all names. Gender is a construct and does not exist.

It's strange to me that Aspen is listed as only feminine, and Denver is only masculine. I think they would work fine on anyone.

When I say they could "work", I'm mostly talking about how their sounds compare to other names that are seen as acceptable. I think on principle, names that come from nature should be unisex, but some names sound more neutral to me than others.
