I agree with you about Marion/Marian - but my female cousin Leslie
would be surprised! I don't know that there are many male Leslies in
the US; I think all the females I've known have been Leslie.

I think, in English, this depends on the spelling: "Marion" is male (John
Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison on May 26, 1907); Marian Montgomery
(the jazz singer) on the other hand was female.
There are some other names which depend, for their gender, on the spelling -
e.g. Leslie is male, and Lesley is female, as far as I know.
