Yes, but the thing is, unpopular names generally fall out of use.  They either come back much later or disappear.  So it stands to reason that a popular name would stand a higher chance. On thinking a bit about the last part, many languages feature male/female forms of names that sound exactly the same or very similar and are differentiated by either a sexed vowel or sex is implicit in the spelling.  English operates under different features (broadly speaking) and may contribute to the whole male name to female name migration.
