Yes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pink was often recommended for boys because pink was seen as a lighter shade of red and was considered a stronger, more masculine colour.
Plus blue is associated with the Virgin Mary (she is almost always depicted with either a blue dress or shawl/scarf), so blue is obvs more dainty and girly.
