Boys . . .
Are, and have always been, named out of a far smaller pool of names. Girls' names, both traditionally and in modern times, have been open to far more creativity in the way of spelling variations, shortenings, lengthenings, combinations, etc.
It's both a good and a bad thing - they're spared from the worst excesses of Kre8ibhiteigh, but they're also far more likely to find themselves as Matthew P. (or whatever) when they reach school.
