I think the picture of the author (clearly female) is the give-away, but the name "Evelyn" isn't because it is one of those names (e.g. "Lee") that are applied to both men and women.

Yep.

Though admittedly it belongs to the category: names I'd have thought were exclusively women's except I heard of just this one dude. My list is:

* Evelyn Waugh

* Vivian Richards

* Marion Barry

Oops, looks like I was not only careless, but biased there! Sorry.

Wasn't there a study that demonstrated that most males would imagine a person always being male first - unless the opposite would be proven?

I'm not sure, but I (male) definitely do and my girlfriend does the opposite

The only Evelyn that comes to my mind is “Waugh”...
