This statement correctly reflects the trend of traditionally male names being given to females. For example, names like Jordan, Cameron, and Avery were originally male names but are now more commonly given to girls as well. Option A is not true as there are many popular girls' names that have softer sounds and end in vowels such as Isabella or Sophia. Option B is not entirely true, as there are some boys' names that are given to girls without being feminized, such as Logan or Elliott.
