Girls names for boys?

In the top 1000 boys' names, I see names like Anna (during 1900-1909), Maria (several decades) and Melissa (1970-79) in the top 1000 BOYS names. Has anyone ever met a male with this name, and does anyone know why these names would have been popular (somewhat) for males? Were these the OrangeJellos of previous generations or was there some trend toward this that everyone strangely forgot about?
