You may will figure somewhere in your family ancestry,  find odd names in the past.  I have been known from my uncle who been researched over our family ancestry and find something awesome.  I read few women named boy’s name in my family ancestry, I actually recheck the name and it is fact.  My mother’s cousin has one and my father’s cousin has one, too.   I believe there is a lot women named in the past, for example, Michael as Mike.   Also, I overlooked female names in 1800’s and pretty odd names like initial name like my father, uncles or, aunt too.

I met deaf woman has boy’s name, I can not believe how she took the risk over her name.
One day, I read on the names list for camping and not realize the name was actual a woman. When she came and told me her name. I was like she had me brainwashed! Hehe, she is a girl with boy’s name.
