Girls are named more creatively than boys

Interesting site: http://howmanyofme.com/info/

Of the top 10 most common first names (according to the Census Bureau), 9 are male names and Mary is the only female name on the list. I guess that this is because parents are more likely to name their sons something typical and put more imagination into naming their daughters. However, it could be that boys are more likely to be named after family members, which would also reduce the variation.

I wonder if first names are diversifying over time. It would make getting your own domain name a lot easier. James Smith's are really out of luck (the most common first and last names respectively)
