In the times of which I'm talking - probably the 1600's - females were not often given names. Carolyn. Oz Carolyn, Tell whoever told you this that he is very wrong. I have read OPRs back into the early 1500s in several different areas of both Scotland and England. I have never found a female baptism without a name (except in those few cases where there is a prominent blank where the clerk intended to fill in the name later but never got around to it).
