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.

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!

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!

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)

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.I've been thinking about some unisex names lately...what do you think of these?
August
Blake
Kasey
Alex
Devon
Konnor
Tristan
Emerson
Austen
Chandler
Ainsley
Evan

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?!
