There are boys out there named Dana and girls named Michael. If someone said, Have you seen Dana and Michael? Who would you think was the guy and who would you think was the girl?
Dana is a really feminine sounding name.

Who knows except that Dana was and always has been first a Male name. It was only in the mid 1900's that it became a girls. It was at first seen just like you see the name Michael for a girl.
So I guess the "moral" to this is, If we just wait long enough, things can completely change.

I have a female cousin named Michael (after her father) she hasn't had a problem with it. I don't see a problem with Dana for a guy. Its all in how they see themselves. I can see where it would be confusing for other people, but these people with unisex names are used to it and it doesn't bother them-unless they are insecure of course.
