taimatsuOn a community Im read someone just mentioned the US TV series 'Gossip Girl'. This programme has six lead characters, three boys, three girls. Here's the list of the actors' names:
Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen, Ed Westwick
Apart from the most-likely-male Ed, which of these are the male and which the female stars? I'm guessing Chace might be female as I would expect 'Chase' for a boy, but other than that I've no clue. Guesses? Answers? Anyone? And isn't it kind of weird that most of those names - Penn, Taylor, Blake, Leighton - are far more common as surnames?
