Literally none of those are American names. They're from other countries, most of which have not only feminine forms of names but words as well. It's normal.

Alexandra and Stephanie are Greek. Henrietta and Jacqueline are French (former possibly German). Paula is Latin.

Lexy is short for Alexandria and Emily/Emilia are feminine forms of Emile. Valerie is both male and female.

I'll give you the rest though.

obviously, takes women longer to come.

GhostStar · September 23, 2013, 08:57:20 PM

hmm well i guess there are a lot that come from men's names and almost as many that are their own thing.

Marie, Mary, and whatever comes from Maria originates from Maristar fish, a Latin name, which is equivalent to male names like Marian and Mariano.
