Why is it mostly girl's names that are also words in English?

Asked by LostInParadise (31914points) December 18th, 2010

There are dozens of girl names that are words: Hope, Rose, Jasmine, Ivy, Dawn, Sherry and on and on. There are few for guys and they are not used very often. I know that a lot of names for both boys and girls derive from words in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, so in the past there was more equal treatment in this regard.
