I looked at a homework assignment: sorting names by gender

By hearing a name, one can deduce almost immediately if they are a boy or a girl.  Yet - some names are androgynous (could be used for either a boy or girl).

A couple of really bizarre ones:

I was reading an article in a magazine, and it was written by someone with the name of Michael.  There was a picture of the author of the article, and it was a gal!  Who knew?

As well, when I started working for the division of work that I am now, I had a contact named Shirley at one of our accounts.  Of course, I thought Shirley would be female.

Well....

So, I had to put in the comments that the contact is a man named Shirley.

Finally, to touch on the OP's point:

The name 'Sawyer'.  There was a character on one of the shows that I was watching.  Sawyer is a boy.

I thought it's an androgynous name because my niece's name is Sawyer.

This goes back a few years ago to a family outing that we took.

There was a lady who was calling the name Sawyer.  I thought....how do you know my niece's name?

Eventually, a boy came over to her.  I imagine it was her grandson.

Meanwhile, my brother, in true 'my brother' fashion, said:

I told you Sawyer was a boy's name.
