Kumud is generally a feminine name in Indian languages.

Bhakti is not such a common name. It is also a feminine name. The masculine form in bhakt meaning devotee.

agree  Shruti Nagar: but Bhakt is NOT the masciline form of Bhakti. Bhakti is the quality (devotion) which every bhakt (devotee) has whether male or female.

  ->  I was having the context of names in mind. Bhakt as in Sikandar Bhakt, for example.
