ive always associated these names with girls, but i find that more and more guys also have these names...and its hard for me to associate the name with a guy. do you think they are gender neutral, or do you have the same association as i do? and i dont mean to offend anyone, but i was just curious about this..ive heard guys having these names for the past few years, but i still always find it a bit odd.

Even amongst Indian names some names are gender neutral names. For example my mother's name is saroj, now there is boy in our office his name is also saroj, so these things are there everywhere.

These days, baby naming is a huge business. There are tons and tons of books to help you name your bundle of joy and the names that are most prevalent are no longer names like John and Sally. I'm not surprised that names are becoming more unisex, it's just the next step in the baby naming boom.
