If pushed I would allow the following, but I don’t feel that Cupid is really a boy’s name, and although Jack is a boy’s name, it’s not used in that sense in Steve “Silk” Hurley’s “Jack your body”.

Name	Artist	Song	Year
Cupid	Connie Francis	Stupid Cupid (double A-side with Carolina Moon)	1958
Jack	Steve “Silk” Hurley	Jack Your Body	1987
