To be honest, I think boys names for girls is cute, but it just narrows down the options for parents of boys.

I totally agree. There are so few boys names in comparison to girls- even taking out the million spelling variations for girls.
I'm pregnant and hopefully find out the sex this week. I've avoided thinking about names too much because I don't want to agonize over limited boy name options if I don't have to. Especially since I have extra (self-imposed) criteria such as being pronounceable in two cultures for my Brazilian in-laws.
