Bit of a tangent here but I noticed you used "her" instead of the default assumption of "him". Is this a new practice?

Assumption based on the username "EmilyHughes". Otherwise I would have used they/them or maybe a he/him would've slipped through, though I try to avoid that.

I think that's because the OP's handle is "EmilyHughes". Is "Emily" a name that's common for males?

I know some English names can go both ways like Evelyn or Shannon etc, but is Emily one of them?

Emil or Emlyn (Latin and Welsh) are similar male versions.
