They gave my younger sister a traditionally masculine name, so apparently they were already out of ideas on that score.
A lot of names can be converted. My favorite uncle gave his oldest daughter a pretty name, but he wanted a son to name after himself. They quit after having two girls, and he named his youngest girl after himself, with the name converted to the feminine variety.
