That's like turning Ed into a female name by sticking an "a" at the end of it, resulting in Eda, which to my knowledge, isn't a very common name.
Well, -ko is the feminine suffix of japanese names; as -bou is the masculine, but its usage has declined in modern times. The japanese use Haru-hiko, which is really neither here nor there.
