I've seen boys with girl names get picked on and teased. Yes, solely for having a girl name. The ones that are actually beaten up usually have other social issues. I've even used my name nerdiness to come to the rescue of a few of them....not that there is a big gang of kids surrounding them, but comments being made about them having a girl name.
It's usually from names that used to be solely male and have started being used as feminine names (Morgan, Addison, Kelly, Rene, Dana, etc). Because I'm a name nerd, I've talked to kids about this numerous times. The boys usually tell me that their moms had no idea that their name was starting to be used for girls when they were born and named...
