Yes, thanks to feminism, many boy’s names have been given to girls.

Nikita, yes, has become a girl’s name worldwide (except in the ex USSR of course). We must all be grateful to Elton John for the ambiguity. He obviously used the name for a man, but the video showed a beautiful woman in furs.

A close look at our National Under17 Football squad: Jesus Camilleri (Valletta), Elkien Cauchi (Hibs), Tristan Caruana (Hibs co-mate), Lyden Micallef (Mosta), Rowen Muscat (Bkara), Randall Refalo (Pieta).

Similarly Under19 boys: Kane Paul Farrugia (Sliema), Osbert Ellul (Hibs), Quilin Refalo (Pieta), Angus Buhagiar (Tarxien).

Need I say more?
