I was going to say the same about Jean; I think that one at least is hard to really draw conclusions from without additional data like languages spoken at home.

Anecdotally, the boy->girl names are almost all very popular names where I've met multiple each of those across different ages, whereas the other two categories feel like they have a lot more down-list entries.

Gender change with the same pronunciation would be a difficult to compile but interesting refinement.
