It is interesting that typically about half of the top ten boy names are of Biblical origin, while it is now uncommon for more than one or two girls names of similar origin to make it in into the top ten.

And that is why the boys of tomorrow will be so much better behaved than the girls. Except for the ones named Ashton.
