I have only ever met men/boys with any of those names in the US, though I've never met a Manu or a Soren. Quinn is commonly considered either masculine or feminine, though, I believe, but Laurence and Elliot are typically masculine. Of course, it's possible that those names have become feminized with recent baby names and that I've simply yet to meet the female Laurences, Quinns, and Elliots.

There is a female Quinn on Daria and Glee. There is a female Elliot on Scrubs.

Those are all television. Not representative of real life.

I was looking at registrations of births a while ago as a special interest. It was really bizarre. There was even a male Alexis. :?

Hmm, mostly not, but some are quite often as good as, but just in different ways.

Tomasu and Kaybee :heart:
I didn't mean that you all aren't helpful. I just meant that I need professional help. :lol:
I'm feeling better now though, except for the fact that I've had a migraine since Monday night.

In my middle school I knew a girl named Quinn, so they exist. ;)

^^ Yaye, greetings everyone.

I believe that I have enjoyed very much viewing The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition) during these past days and believe that this is a very lovely story. ^^ I believe that I require to continue viewing the happy final part of "The Return of the King" and I believe that the great battle with the armies of Mordor has now ended. I am very sorry for being silly.
