US names that switched between boys and girls

Original: US boy names that became girl names and vice versa

A look at American baby names that have flipped gender over time, tracing how names like Leslie, Ashley or Madison moved from boys to girls, and how a few went the other way. Readers are debating which names made the switch, why naming trends shift between genders, and whether a name can survive once the change happens.
