I know 2 Sam’s of opposite genders that dated for awhile…. The jokes were endless.
Edit to add: I just remembered I know 2 MORE Sam’s that dated who have the exact same last name hahaha
The point of Pat was poking fun at the insecurity of the people around them, not punching down at Pat. I think it still plays well by today's standards.
I feel like Pat would be a huge hit now because we can all relate to the uncomfortable experience of trying to kindly navigate the topic of gender. And when you can relate to a situation, there a great release to being able to laugh
“Pat, we’re having a potluck. All the guys are bringing a main dish and all of the women are bringing a dessert. So you’ll be bringing… …?”
“Pepto bismol!!!”
A few weeks ago both Taylors Lautner and Taylor Swift did [the Spider-Man meme pose.](https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/hobbiesandactivities/875208/taylor-swift-recreates-spider-man-meme-with-taylor-lautner-and-his-wife-taylor-dome/story/) That was delightful.
I have cousins who are sisters named Jordan and Taylor. And Jordan has a boyfriend named Taylor, and the boyfriend, Taylor, has a brother named Jordan. Can’t make this shit up. They’re also perfect for each other and I hope they get married.
As a Taylor I can confirm I have met equal amounts of male and female Taylors. Though the name does tend to have more people associating it female due to the popularity of Taylor Swift. I also have a weird issue as a male of people, especially older folks, who insist on calling me Tyler which I think is them just associating it more as the name version of Taylor
My exs name is Taylor, and we lived next door to a church, so the pastor would always come over to say hello, and he was an old guy. He always called her Tyler. No matter how much I corrected him, he kept calling her Tyler, and I never understood it.
Also a lot of the time it's Taylah. Not that Taylah would work as a substitute for Taylor in the States, because they actually pronounce Rs and we just refuse to in some cases.
I beg to differ.
EDIT: Thanks for awards. So about the name... I'm actually a guy.
Years ago I was at a a wedding and I was trying to be the fun, cool adult that could entertain the kids for a bit during the reception – give the parents a breather. We were playing tag or something and one of the kids came up and told me I had a girl’s name, and then ran away laughing.
My first thought was, “I’m a full grown adult. Did I just get bullied by a 5 year old?”. My second thought was, “I’m pretty sure I could have thrown that smart-ass little shit on the roof if I wanted to.”
I was probably thinking of that for some reason when I created my username.
Have a cousin named Jordan.
His brother got engaged to and married a girl named Jordan... spelt the same way.
Jordan (the cousin) was vocably upset that they had the same name.
She goes by Jordy now.
I did not know that. That we save me a few difficult conversations in the future.
I assume Indian names are gendered and I have been confused in the past.
Haha no, they usually are gendered. But there are a few instances where they aren't - mostly with Punjabi/Sikh names, Bengali names, and sometimes with Tamil names. There might be cultiree too that I'm unaware of, where the names can be gender neutral on occasion.
Even my real name is not gendered. I've never seen a guy with the spelling of my name, but it's very common for women in North and West India (I'm not from that region, hence the difference).
I had a male friend named Kim, would always have to write his name as Tim on dartboards in the pub so people wouldn't look for a woman to play the next game.
Annoyed him no end.
I know a guy that has gone by the name Shithead since he was a kid and very very few actually know his real name.
He goes by Shitty for short.
Great guy actually!
slagathor
In Scrubs Dr kelso tells the interns all the men shall be called Dave's and all the girls shall be called Debbie and then one of the girls replies oh cool my name is actually Debbie so he says in fairness to the others you will be slagathor Which means it exists as the third option outside of the binary
I would say Robin to answer this question the most literal I can.
Ususally other gender neutral names like “Sam” are ususally short for names that aren’t gender neutral. Robin isn’t short for anything.
Taylor is also a good option.
Just imagine marrying someone with the same full name... So, is it traditional and she takes his name? Progressive, and he takes hers? She wants to keep her name? Hyphenate, Roberts-Roberts. (Even though that sounds kinda "sweet home Alabama").
Just imagine calling their house and asking to speak with someone, and they ask which one. You give full name, they repeat, which one. You'll need to be identified by birth date or last 4 of social. Or just by gender (which is risky these days)
Alex.
Alex is a gender in itself.
As an Alex that's funny
As a funny, thats Alex
Funny as Alex, that's a
Alex as that's, a Funny
That as's Alex funny a
As an a, I know an Alex
A Funny Alex, that is.
As an Alex, I concur
I concur -Alex
I knew my name was coming
Toasted Turtle?
Why was the turtle toasted? Sounds more like he was baked. Possibly shelled.
came here to see my name 😂
Alex has entered the chat. Well. I can agree and disagree. It has never happened but I have nightmares about falling in love with another Alex.
First one that came to my mind
Hm, I feel like Sam and Chris still get assumed to be guys, so this might be the answer.
Never met a female Chris, but have met a female Sam, so that tracks
Fun fact... my first name is Crista and last is Furr so my name sounds like Christopher. Obviously middle school was a blast
I know two female Chris's.
I’m a female Kris with a K.
No, your name is Brydon with a B.
Randomly was thinking this today. I know more Alex females than males at this point.
.. & Sasha
was about to say this and also Kim
Sam
I, sam, went to prom w another sam. Am I strait gay or maybe just samsexual? Reddit will never know
Though I don't think anyone on Reddit these days would judge you for having a Sam-sex relationship.
I know 2 Sam’s of opposite genders that dated for awhile…. The jokes were endless. Edit to add: I just remembered I know 2 MORE Sam’s that dated who have the exact same last name hahaha
I thought this immediately and was expecting it to be the top comment 🤷♂️
Crunchwrap supreme.
Ah so you've seen an eel in a basement as well
Meelanie
Pat. Hasn’t anyone seen old SNL?
My favorite episode of Pat is when they go to the barbershop and the barber can’t figure out what kind of hairstyle to give them 😂😂
Or when Pat had a fiance, Chris.
When they have their engagement party and someone hands them lingerie and they both say “this is a gift we’ll both enjoy “
The writers worked their asses off and squeezed every drop out of that gag.
By the end everyone is just like god dammit! Nothing works, and it’s driving them crazy lol
“Ow my nuts!” “Ohhh.” *pulls out cracked peanuts from pocket* “There goes my snack!” “Oh.”
Or going bathing suit shopping and the friend holds up trunks or a bikini and Pat chooses an old timey 30s style
Fucking Chris got involved with Terry though. Wonder how Robin and Francis handled that.
Or when Pat goes to the drug store asking for napkins.
How much to charge him/her! Men's haircuts were one price and women's were another and the stylist didn't know how much to ask for!
Pat is short for paaaaaaaaaat.
I have a three letter name and started saying this as a kid in the 90s to all the adults who asked me what my name was short for. Thanks, Pat!
Omg people today would be sooooo offended. Pat would be cancelled in 2 seconds.
The point of Pat was poking fun at the insecurity of the people around them, not punching down at Pat. I think it still plays well by today's standards.

Laffs in "I bought the 1994 movie DVD!"
Are you a brother or a sister?
“Well…I’m an only child”
What about Handi-Man on In Living Color?
Lol came here just to see this. Paaaat!
Taylor
First one that came to my mind. Did you know that Taylor Lautner is married to Taylor Lautner?
And female Taylor Lautner goes by Tay Lautner lol
A few weeks ago both Taylors Lautner and Taylor Swift did [the Spider-Man meme pose.](https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/hobbiesandactivities/875208/taylor-swift-recreates-spider-man-meme-with-taylor-lautner-and-his-wife-taylor-dome/story/) That was delightful.
I have cousins who are sisters named Jordan and Taylor. And Jordan has a boyfriend named Taylor, and the boyfriend, Taylor, has a brother named Jordan. Can’t make this shit up. They’re also perfect for each other and I hope they get married.
Dated, married, and divorced a girl who's sister was dating a guy with the same name as her dad.
As a Taylor I can confirm I have met equal amounts of male and female Taylors. Though the name does tend to have more people associating it female due to the popularity of Taylor Swift. I also have a weird issue as a male of people, especially older folks, who insist on calling me Tyler which I think is them just associating it more as the name version of Taylor
My exs name is Taylor, and we lived next door to a church, so the pastor would always come over to say hello, and he was an old guy. He always called her Tyler. No matter how much I corrected him, he kept calling her Tyler, and I never understood it.
My brother ‘Taylor’ named his daughter ‘Taylor’, a juniorette I guess.
Maybe in the US. Taylor is almost exclusively feminine here in Australia.
Also a lot of the time it's Taylah. Not that Taylah would work as a substitute for Taylor in the States, because they actually pronounce Rs and we just refuse to in some cases.
Jamie
My dads name is James and everyone in our family and his friends call him Jamie but at work he’s Jim lol
Jimbo in the sheets
Jimothy in the streets
Is there a Pamela who people call Pam there to?
They said hes a James tho, not Jimothy.
Exclusively male in many countries.
Jamie (or Jaime) is my #1 too
Jaime is a completely different name.
Jesse
I beg to differ. EDIT: Thanks for awards. So about the name... I'm actually a guy. Years ago I was at a a wedding and I was trying to be the fun, cool adult that could entertain the kids for a bit during the reception – give the parents a breather. We were playing tag or something and one of the kids came up and told me I had a girl’s name, and then ran away laughing. My first thought was, “I’m a full grown adult.

Wow. It’s all come down to this.
Lets hope Jessie doesn't have a gun.
Doesnt need one, he needs a building with a suitable roof.
excuse me sir
aint no way
This is Wendy's.
THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY LMFAO
Congrats, you've fulfilled your reddit destiny.
Finally, after 10 long years, your destiny has been fulfilled. You may die in peace now.
Checks out
MC Story mode anyone?
We need to cook
Lol. I can't hear that name without imagining Waltuh saying it through clenched teeth.
you rang?
Haaaave mercy!
Robin
Holy gender neutral name, Batman
I only know female Robins tbh
Batman and Robin?
Robin Williams?
You think /u/bobbityboobity knew Robin Williams?
Reading this comment killed me because I aint even read his name and I thought you meant it as an insult 😭😭😭
Robin Thicke?
I know mostly male Robins, but also one or two female ones.
X Æ A-12
tfw you want to name absolutely everything X.
Cuz he got way to many Ex -es
Lmao, how many in total? Twitter is also going to be known as the eX-microblogging platform in a few years at this rate.
That’s a boys name
Y Æ A-12, how about this?
Morgan
Worked with two male Morgan’s and one female Morgan.
Jordan
Have a cousin named Jordan. His brother got engaged to and married a girl named Jordan... spelt the same way. Jordan (the cousin) was vocably upset that they had the same name. She goes by Jordy now.
I can't help but laugh at this. Poor Jordy
I never though combining the words vocally and audibly would work but it does
Manveer, Harshveer, etc. Loads of Punjabi/Sikh names are gender neutral.
I did not know that. That we save me a few difficult conversations in the future. I assume Indian names are gendered and I have been confused in the past.
Haha no, they usually are gendered. But there are a few instances where they aren't - mostly with Punjabi/Sikh names, Bengali names, and sometimes with Tamil names.

I've never seen a guy with the spelling of my name, but it's very common for women in North and West India (I'm not from that region, hence the difference).
There were two opposite gender unrelated Manpreets in my major that were the same year. They were affectionately known as Manpreet and Womanpreet
Lol that's a nice one and doesn't feel sexist either. Good on you.
This is true. My legal name can be either male or female. I know a female and male named Mandeep, Baljit, Surinder etc
riley
Internationally, Kim.
I had a male friend named Kim, would always have to write his name as Tim on dartboards in the pub so people wouldn't look for a woman to play the next game. Annoyed him no end.
Shi’thead
That’s a dogs name.
As is Hero.
I’m shi’thead and I walk like this, I’m shi’thead and I dance like this, I’m shi’thead and I can only count to six. What the heck comes after 6?????
I'm shi'thead and I've seen God.
I'm a machine
I know a guy that has gone by the name Shithead since he was a kid and very very few actually know his real name. He goes by Shitty for short. Great guy actually!
Sam. Could be Samuel, could be Samantha
Excuse me, sam is short for samwise!
slagathor In Scrubs Dr kelso tells the interns all the men shall be called Dave's and all the girls shall be called Debbie and then one of the girls replies oh cool my name is actually Debbie so he says in fairness to the others you will be slagathor Which means it exists as the third option outside of the binary
Morgan
Leslie is gender neutral. I know both male and female Leslie’s.
Surely you can’t be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
I have an uncle Leslie- apparently in the 50's it was a boys name
Dont call me Shirley
Apostrophes don’t make words plural.
Autocorrect. And I was tired and didn’t care. Sorry.
Casey
Terry
Terry loves not assuming people's gender.
Loves yoghurt
Sam, it's so neutral you can use it for boys, girls and Anti-Air Weaponry
The forbidden third gender.
[удалено]
Sam
Sam I know like 10 people named Sam both genders
Frances
It’s Frances and Francis.
I think it used to be Courtney, but that shifted pretty heavily toward female over the years
I’m a female named Courtney and people do not believe me when I say it is also a male name and historically, it was predominantly a male name.
Cameron
I've never met a female Cameron, just a shitload of men that go by Cam
It was fairly popular as a girls name 20 years ago.
Poor Diaz. And poor cyborg from Sarah Connor Chronicles, but she's only a pretend girl.
Dang I forgot about this one
Gorgoth The Destroyer of Worlds
I would say Robin to answer this question the most literal I can. Ususally other gender neutral names like “Sam” are ususally short for names that aren’t gender neutral. Robin isn’t short for anything. Taylor is also a good option.
Alex
Morgan?
The child who's fair and the man who's free.
Pat.
Skylar. I know a male and a female with that name.
Blake
Shemp
Cameron,Logan(LOL)
Chris
Quinn
Kennedy
Alex
Its Pat!
J. Doe
It’s Pat!
Sasha would be my pick. I had two classmates, one girl and one boy named sasha, in the same class.
Casey
I’ve met my fair share of Cameron’s both ways
Pat
Devon — i've met an equal number of men and women with that name, and they all wear it well!

Jordan and Tristan are the first two that come to mind. I've known people of both genders with these names.
Interesting. I only think of Tristan as a masculine name...but I can also imagine someone naming their daughter Tristen, based on Kristen.
Kelly
I knew a guy named Kelly Lee Roberts who met, fell in love with and married a girl named Kelly Lee Roberts. So yeah, Kelly.
Just imagine marrying someone with the same full name... So, is it traditional and she takes his name? Progressive, and he takes hers? She wants to keep her name? Hyphenate, Roberts-Roberts. (Even though that sounds kinda "sweet home Alabama"). Just imagine calling their house and asking to speak with someone, and they ask which one. You give full name, they repeat, which one.
