August -- All BOY to me I think Augie is adorable...I love this name!!!
Blake -- Not really a fan for either gender...okay middle name but a bit boring for a first.
Kasey -- Casey for a boy or girl is nice. I prefer the original spelling for both.
Alex -- I used to be obsessed with the name Alex for a girl. Like this name for both.
Devon -- I think boy first but could see on a girl, maybe spelled Devyn.
Konnor -- I cant see this on a girl at all. Prefer spelling Connor for a boy.
Tristan -- A girl named Tristan? Never heard that one...boy all the way to me.
Emerson -- Cute on either gender
Austen -- Austen Bennett <3 Austen would be great on either gender.
Chandler -- Boy
Ainsley -- Girl
Evan -- Either would be okay.

They all seem pretty masculine to me, except maybe for Devon, Emerson and Ainsley.

Devon wouldn't be terrible on a girl, now that I think about it, though I fear it would become one of those low-character names like Madison or Nicole.
I much prefer Deva.

Emerson is just plain, frankly, it doesn't have a masculine ring, but not feminine either. I'm not a huge fan, but it's not horrible.

Ainsley, on the other hand, does have a feminine feel. But I don't like it, to be honest.

Out of the others, I like August, Blake, Alex & Evan for a boy!

August- I think this is a very unique and artistic name. I went to school with a girl named August Johnston, & she has a younger sister named January.

Blake- I love Blake! If I could go back and re-name my daughters one would have to be named Blake! It's such a cute name and I LOVE it!

Kasey- Kaycie was a name we had on our baby name list for our daughters! I love it!

Alex- I like this as a nickname for Alexandra or Alexander. Love Alexandra, hate Alexander!

Devon- I prefer Devin or Devyn, it's an okay name.

Konnor- Love it! This name was also on our baby name list!

Tristan- not my favorite, I prefer Taylor or Tynleigh

Emerson- It's okay, but I prefer Emma

Austen- Love this name! I liek the spelling Austyn more though! and yes for a girl

Chandler- I went to school with a Chandler, and she wasn't the nicest person I've ever met. She was very snooty and rude.

Ainsley- I don't like this name at all, I prefer Anna.

Evan- Love it! One of my favorite little girl names!

August- definately boy
Blake - I know girls and boys named Blake, but it still seems masculine to me
Kasey - I love this name for either boy or girl, Kaycee Rose is one of my fav. names
Alex- I like Alex as a nn for Alexandria or Alexander
Devon - This is another name that I know both males and females with the same name, but it still has a masculine feel to me
Konnor- Male all the way and I like it spelled Conner better
Tristan - Defintely male
Emerson - I actually love this name for a girl
Austen - I'm so over this name, but when I was younger I wanted a girl named Austin because of a song
Chandler - This is my step-nephews name and since I don't any females with it. I see it as masculine
Ainsley - This is all girl to me
Evan- I like this name as male or female. It's my brothers middle name. If I were going to use it as girls name I would give her a really feminine name. (ex. Evan Rachel Wood)

August - 100% BOY name, and one of my favorites.
Blake - I think it's very masculine, but I do see it a lot on girls.
Kasey - Probably the only that I prefer on girls, though it is originally a male name. I prefer the spelling Casey, especially if it's on a boy.
Alex - I love both Alexander and Alexandra, but prefer other nicknames, such as Xander/Xandra and Lexy.
Devon - I've never met a male Devon, and have met two females, but it still seems very masculine to me.
Konnor - I prefer Conor, and only on boys.
Tristan - One of my favorite names, ONLY for a boy.
Emerson - I don't understand why 'son' names are given to girls. Clearly they're meant for boys. Granted, the beginning of this does sound somewhat feminine, but I'd stick with Emma or Emily for a girl.
Austen - I don't like any spelling of Austin, but think it goes better on a boy.
Chandler - I can see it on a girl, but it still seems a bit too manly.
Ainsley - Not a huge fan of this name to begin with, but I do think it is more of a girls' name.
Evan - I love it on boys and as a nickname for Evangeline. I don't like it as a stand-alone name on a girl.

I don't think of any of these names as unisex, except Ainsley and Kasey. The rest are all boy names. Unisex names would be Alexis, Riley, Renee, Reese, Taylor and Justice. I would never think of seeing a girl with the names Connor, Tristan, Evan Chandler or August. I also couldn't see the names Christian or Carter on a girl. That's pretty ridiculous in my opinion. So is Connor on a girl.

Okie dokie, thanks for all the replies everyone. I thought it was very interesting that most people said they had never heard Tristan on a girl. I suppose thats because I know a girl named Tristan, and I come from a small town...so of course everyone thinks its a girl name. And I have to say, I still like Konnor for a girl For some reason, I'm just really into boy names on girls...maybe its a sign that any daughters that I have will be tomboys or something?!

My boyfriend's sister's name is Tristan.
