I think people get more creative with girls names, at least in spelling. For historic names, ignoring such spelling and dialect variations, there are more boy's names, simply because they are more likely to be recorded in tales and historical documents such as histories (male-centered political and military focuses), land grants, charters etc. E.g. in king lists, a kings son's may all be named, but daughters, if even mentioned, may not all be named.
