I was already thinking of Hanska, but I think it sounds a little too girly, perhaps because of the 'A' part at the end... It means 'Tall', though. Does anyone have another suggestion? If it's definitely masculine, you should use it. My OC Mustafa Korku is male even though his name ends in an A. Mustafa is a very masculine name in Arabic and Turkish. Mustafa Korku is Turkish - Mustafa's sisters' names do not end in A. (Turkey has masculine, feminine, and unisex names that end in A.)

I was actually a bit hesitant to give Narcisse Paon his first name too, since Narcisse is a unisex name in French - though it's more common for males than females (it's French for both Narcissus and the feminine form Narcissa). Camille is unisex in French too. Today, it's more common on girls, but people still use it on boys in France (not sure about Quebec, though). Other unisex French names I know of include Candide, Claude, Dominique, Hyacinthe, Leonide, and Placide.
