I do not pretend to be the truth, but Bagira in Maugli has turned from a boy to a girl, and Phyllin in Winnie Pooh has turned into Sova. So with the belonging to one or another gender of the translated character, the translator is determined apparently based on the weather on Jupiter.

I read Harry Potter in English (terrified by the translation of the names Dursle and Dumbledore, bue). And when I first mentioned the character Lavanda Brown, I thought it was a guy (Lavender). And then that Lavender messed up with Ron. This is where I get into the dictionary.
