I love Belphoebe & Bellona which portray the female through roles of activity, strength, competitiveness, and even aggressiveness. Edmund Spencer used Belphoebe to portray Queen Elizabeth. There are certainly sufficient names or other symbols throughout history, from which these names emerge - and also within modern society which belittle female roles to those of domesticity--roles from which more and more women rightly & proudly emerge. I do, however, absolutely love & adore females.

I often see Barnaby to be a traditional "male" version of my name, not that my name "really is female", although I recognize and "feel" that society categorizes it accordingly; though we merely share the root of "Bar" which I believe represents "son".
