Hmm... I didn't even think about running my names as the other gender. I ran my old names as male and my new names as female.
I hadn't heard of any of them except my old middle name being gender-neutral, and even in that case, I've only ever heard of one woman with my old middle name (nobody I know, either; she's a famous actress). Kinda feel sorry for all the dudes out there named Amy (well, unless they're really trans girls, but that's statistically so unlikely)... at least boys named Jessica can go by Jessie.
Comparing across genders now, the patterns are actually similar across genders, just with fewer numbers. My old middle name though, for girls, is very spiky with lots of very short ups and downs, while as a boys' name, the graph was smoother. I wonder if that correlates with the release dates of a certain actress' movies. Also, by far and above the most common of the four across gender lines was my old first name... it was the only one that ever broke 300 (and only barely).
