In some Bangladeshi families the Aqeeqa is not even recited for girl babies at all, not even the firstborn. My ex-husband has three sisters and none of them had the Aqeeqa whispered in their ear at birth, only he did.
"whispered in their ear at birth"huh?

That's not Aqeeqa. That's a different ritual.

i.e. whispering the Adhan for newborn babies.
