Boy, only boy, please!

Nikita's 100% only male in Russian, its language of origin. I think it's disrespectful to intentionally use a male name from another culture for a girl merely because it "sounds like a girl's name". To unintentionally do the same just smacks of ignorance to me.I would use Nicola for a girl.
