Can a Boy Be Named Tsubaki?

[hjohnson2196]

I was wondering, since (as far as I know) Tsubaki is generally a feminine first name in Japan, would it be weird or embarrassing for a guy to be named Tsubaki? How lenient or non-lenient is Japan on the connection between gender and names? Thanks!

Not a problem.

Role-playing character or something?
