Marie is considered a girl's name, however you might be thinking of hyphenated names where there may be "boy" name and one "girl" name. In that case the name considered to be the currect gender comes first, i.e. Jean-Marie is a boy while Marie-Jean is a girl. However, hyphenated names are considered one name, so even if Jean-Marie was in the list it dosen't make "Jean" or "Marie" any more or less popular.

I also though opposite gender names used to be popular as middle names in France but I'm less sure of that.

That dropped out in the last three or so years, being replaced by Jade! Not very French, isn't it? I like Claudia for a girl. Very pretty French/Italien name. But for the boys… I'm not sure about Marie. Maybe it's just never been in the top 10. I don't know!
