Page "Jewish name" Paragraph 13

It was somewhat rare for the same name to be used by both sexes.

In Biblical times this occurs with regard to the names Abigail, Abijah, Athaliah, Chushan, Ephah, Micha, Nahash, Shelomith, Zibiah ; in Talmudic times, with regard to Ibu, Johanan, Nehorai, Pasi, Shalom ; the only later instances that may be cited are Jeroham, Mazal-Ṭob, Neḥamah, Menuḥah, Simḥah, Tamar, Bongodas, and Bien-li-Viengue.

To wear a man's name seemed as objectionable as wearing men's clothes.
