Line 75:
** Petrushka and Rico are also boy's names, given to two other girls.
* Oscar François de Jarjayes from ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' - her father very much wanted a son and decided to name and raise her as a boy.
* Elliot Chandler from ''[[Mai-Otome 0[[~S.ifr]]~]]''.
* ''[[Baccano]]!'' inverts this by giving a major male character the distinctly ''female''-sounding name, Claire. This doesn't make him any less [[Badass]].
* ''[[The Day of Revolution]]'' has a brother and sister named Makoto and Mikoto (Makoto is the girl.)...and a [[Gender Bender]] protagonist named Megumi as well, though in this case she actually pronounced her name "Kei" when she was a boy. (Isn't kanji fun?)
