String[][] boynames = new String[1000][2];
String[][] girlnames = new String[1000][2];
String line = null;

if(isFoundB == false){
System.out.println(answer + " is not ranked among the top 1000 boy names.");
}
if(isFoundG == false){
System.out.println(answer + " is not ranked among the top 1000 girl names.");
}
inputStreamGirls.close();
inputStream.close();
keyboard.close();
}
}

Answer 1

You will need to call the scanner methods to actually read from the input file.
scanner.next() reads one string token from the input.
So instead of this part:
inputStream = boynames[count][0]; //Error here
inputStream = boynames[count][1]; //here
You would do:
boynames[count][0] = inputStream.next();
boynames[count][1] = inputStream.next();
