I got this last week, it needs to be updated.
Editing to add: if anyone has time to go through the list and can tell me what names to cross off, I’d be very appreciative. I know it’s a lot….

1. Many names that were formerly masculine are now unisex in Israel. In the past year I have had classes with girls named Daniel, Gabriel, Emanuel and Noam.
2. Whoever submitted the name may not have known the mother's name.
3. I seriously doubt that a prayer is any less effective because the person was identified with the "wrong" parent. The KBH knows whom you mean. Your kavanah is what counts.

I have been asked to pray for someone ben/bat father in a case where the the mother wasn't Jewish but the father was. The person had converted as a child...not sure why it wasn't ben/bat Sarah which is what I thought was standard 🤷‍♀️
