    To list all dual type names would be very difficult indeed because there would bound to be some that were missed.
    My normal birth name is Ellis which could be translated into Elise, although I have been called Alice by the hard of hearing. My original birth name (pre birth) was Daphne, mother was absolutely convinced I was a girl. Guess she was half right.

    David is definitely not on any Unisex list, but I did want something a bit similar, and rather liked Dana , which is on the Unisex list.

    I know this is an unmoderated forum – but if you are interested there is already a long running thread on how you derived your current name
    here:

    My specific interest was to sample how many of us were given a unisex name at birth – hence the poll. Perhaps it is time for me to close off the experiment with the unexpected answer that 27% of nearly 100 respondents had a unisex name.
    This was far far higher than I expected… or perhaps reflects an underlying gender ambiguity in the names we give our children.
