It certainly seems true, and I'm not sure why, either. Maybe there's an assumption that girls don't need to be taken as seriously, so you can have more fun with them. That response sets my bullshit detector off, but I can't think of anything better.
The only guys I've dated with unusual names had surnames as first names. One of those names is now wildly popular, but it wasn't about 20 years ago.
