Hi Pam
I used the Census by entering only first name to see what gender would come
up.
Genereuse and Annonciade were always female, but Euchariste/Eucharist could
be either male or female... which may have depended entirely on the census
taker.

A quick search revealed that Euchariste was more often than not a man's
name, but there were several instances when it was a woman's name. It was
apparently never used before 1800, since it does not appear in the PRDH list of
given names.
