Before all forms of midcentury girl favorites Gale and Gail were overtaken by mother name Abigail, Gale was something of a unisex name. Now since Gale has resurfaced as a male name in The Hunger Games, perhaps it might have something of a comeback for boys--especially if it's thought of as a nature name, a la Storm.
