Name genders
I was having a discussion with my brother about how boys names become girls names and it's rarely the other way around, and he asked me for a few examples of the other way around... (i.e. names that are now more common on boys, but were originally for girls)
... and I blanked. Couldn't think of one. Ideas, anyone?

Names are an important key to what a society values. Anthropologists recognize naming as 'one of the chief methods for imposing order on perception.'
