I always thought shaman was a generic term used for any priest-like figure in indigenous traditions.

Nope.  It's a term from an actual religion that still exists, particularly in Siberia.  For a while, anthropologists did kind of extend it out, in a "all primitive people are basically the same" mentality, but now it's reserved for religions that at least share the main characteristics of shamanism.  Specifically, belief in a separate spirit world, which can only be accessed by specific individuals, who undergo ecstatic trances to get the spirits to intervene for their follower.  There are only a few in North America, and I think six or seven in South America that practice shamanistic religions.  Which, given the diversity of religions among the indigenous peoples, is to be expected.

Angel is a unisex/gender depends on the culture name.

I never thought anything odd about Eliot on "Scrubs", even though one of the running gags was that she was given a guy name because her parents thought she'd be an only child.

For the record, Shane is put down as unisex but except for Shane McCutcheon from the L Word, you don't really hear of any female Shanes.

Conversely, with Paige/Page. It used to be a male driven name now it's mostly recognized as female.

Taylor is also becoming more commonly used as a girl's name despite having been primarily male when I was growing up (at least in Canada).

I used to know two female Alexes and a male Kelly, which always used to confuse my parents whenever I'd talk about school when I was younger.

The best male "Angel" is a vampire who got his own spin-off show.

Yeppers. He's the 2nd best male Angel.

And now I have the mental image of Spike calling Angel a vampire hipster.

Angel was more likable (although still occasionally frustrating) on the spin-off, but I found him rather insufferable on Buffy. The entire "I'm tragic" shtick got old really quickly.

Agreed. He's awesome until you add her into the picture.

Is it weird that I always found Angelus way more attractive than Angel, even though he was a morally repugnant piece of shit? The way he carried himself, spoke, etc. had so much more personality than Angel ever did.

Nope. Angelus has tons of fangirls. I thought Angel got better on his show, but Angelus was always a ball of evil, evil laughs.
