Added DiffLines:

In RealLife, it's possible for this trope to happen because of changing times, with names that had once been reserved for one gender becoming unisex (names like Taylor, Alex, Charlie, Avery, etc) or becoming associated with another gender entirely.[[note]] For example, the names Leslie and Lindsay were once completely male names, but became unisex in the latter half of the twentieth century. They are still officially unisex names, though in modern times both names are more commonly given to girls.[[/note]]
