Well I heard that it's the opposite. The name belongs mostly to males although some females have the name also. It is one of the names of the seven heavens in Arabic.

The link above shows the popularity of this name amongst Muslim males and females. Note that it is more common in the male population.

Yeah, everyone who converts to Islam will look like this. That is definitely true - not.
And no, this is not to be taken as an "advertisement" for Islam. I just posted a picture of me to make myself less mysterious and see what others think about it.

And the keyword is, they
look happier. The point is that you can't gauge one's level of happiness just from a facial appearance and I think you already
know this.
There may be someone who looks very happy in a picture, but not that happy in real life. On the other hand, there may be someone who looks very weird and sad in a picture, but in real life he is happy and normal. So, the external features of a person cannot be taken that far as to look at them as a reflection into his or her internal state of nature. To a certain extent, you can, but not too much.

1. How terrible or good I look is subjective.
2. No smile =/= miserable; No smile = normal/regular/natural.
3. I just kept a normal face without putting on a smile but, regardless of that, I'm a happy Muslim. You don't know what I feel like on the inside.
