I disagree. It shows that far more gender-neutral or boy names become significantly more popular as girl names, compared to the other way around. That's pretty interesting.

This conforms to the idea that a boy with a girl's name (or other girlish attribute) is bad, whereas a girl with a boy's name (or other boyish attribute) is not as bad, or is even good.

This happens to many things. Once something becomes female dominated, men steer clear. Clothing and fashion is another example. Heck even some sports are like that!
