I think you are forgetting that because of sexism it is not that unusual for girls to get "boy's" names. If all the gender differences were in the male to female direction, I wouldn't necessarily think they were mistakes. But boys with "girl's" names are much, much rarer. It really is impossible for me to believe that a boy listed with a traditionally female name is "real" unless I have further evidence. :)
