What do you think of the name Ansel? (for a girl) - Girl Names

I am aware its traditionally a masculine name. I have a feeling its not used enough for people to automatically think its not a girls name though. And people name their daughters [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and [name_u]James[/name_u] nowadays so why not [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]? Phonetically, I think it sounds gentle and not strong enough to be exclusively male. BUT

I am aware it’s traditionally a masculine name. I have a feeling it’s not used enough for people to automatically think it’s not a girl’s name though. And people name their daughters [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and [name_u]James[/name_u] nowadays so why not [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]? Phonetically, I think it sounds gentle and not ‘strong’ enough to be exclusively male. BUT… I am not a native english speaker so that is why I am asking your opinion! In french it sounds very cute yet not overly girly, and my family thinks so too. But she will most likely grow up in the United States and don’t want her to hate her name and be made fun of… Thanks so much for your help!
