Help[Opinions] Re: Jessica on a boy?
in reply to a message by Jenni
I like my name, but never in my life on a boy.
You now, David is listed here as a boy name but that made the top 1000 names list for girls. There are just some things that girls can get away with that boys can't; like having a name of the opposite sex.

David was in the top 1000 girl's names decades ago, but not now. The reason is the same as with Jessica (and many other names); back in the old days, gender mix-ups when accumulating statistics were common. Today, with better technology, such mix-ups happen much less often. That's why, contrary to what you once thought, names like Michael and James were once in the top 1000 girl's names, but not anymore.
