Definitely. Lots of parenting websites, especially ones trying to sugar coat a name with a negative meaning or lying about the gender of a name. I've seen many websites claim a goddess was a god to pass off a more masculine sounding feminine name as male. They also might slap a random meaning onto a name with unknown origins/meaning. Ive also seen them take a modern name that is literally a word for 'ocean' and say it means "lady of the sea" to make it more appealing to parents. They also often a name's language of origin wrong, like when looking into a Greek name, some websites said it was Swedish in origin, other German, ect. Basically any country that uses the name.
