But these days, we're seeing parents bestow names typically given to girls on their sons.
Parents who choose these names think it's better to grow into an adult-sounding name than outgrow a baby-ish name.
Names that end in "ai" are easily pronounced in many languages, including indigenous languages, European languages, Japanese, and African languages.
But now we're seeing parents embrace that names can be girly but still strong.
We're seeing a rise in long, elaborate names but also in shorter, cutesy names for girls.
