Feminine names based on existing male personal names are also known as 'Adam's Rib' names. They are apparently unpopular with feminists but many have been recognised as girls' names since medieval times although a large proportion are modern adaptations. The Mormons of Utah are particularly likely to adapt male names to form unusual female ones.
