Interestingly, the names that end in "ey" also sound the most feminine to me, despite the fact that 'Riley' is in my masculine list.

Q for Canadians. Are you offended by the name of 2 New Zealand products ... Eskimo Pies (ice-cream coated in chocolate), and Eskimo lollies(marshmellow ppl)? They have been named as such for upto 60 years, yet a recent complaint demands a name change. No, not offended, at least don't THINK so! But then, I'm not Inuit, either. When you eat them, I'm sure you wouldn't exactly think: "HEY, I'M EATING AN ESKIMO, HERE!!" (If you would, well, then, OK, I'd be a bit offended...) ';)
