My husband and I are having a lot of trouble coming up with a girl’s name. With our first child he mentioned he liked [name]Charlie[/name] (his grandfather was [name]Charles[/name]) and [name]Andy[/name] for a girl. I think these could work really well for us but I would want a real girl’s name that could be shortened to a boy’s nickname. What do you think? I think [name]Josephine[/name] nn [name]Joey[/name] would be cute. [name]Joey[/name] [name]Mae[/name]? Are there any that could work with [name]Andy[/name] other than [name]Andrea[/name]? Can you think of any other boy nn that could work on a girl?
I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] boy nns for full length fem names. Some examples:
[name]Veronica[/name] nn [name]Ronnie[/name]
[name]Roberta[/name]/[name]Robin[/name] nn [name]Bobbi[/name]

I think boy nicknames for girls are fine, as long as it’s just a nickname, and they have a real name to fall back on. [name]Josephine[/name] nn [name]Joey[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name] are very cute. For [name]Andy[/name], I like [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Andromeda[/name], [name]Cassandra[/name], and [name]Calandra[/name]. Others:
[name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Corinne[/name] ([name]Cory[/name])
[name]Samantha[/name], [name]Samara[/name], [name]Samira[/name] ([name]Sam[/name], [name]Sammy[/name])
[name]Alexandra[/name] ([name]Alex[/name], [name]Andy[/name])
[name]Jessamine[/name], [name]Jessica[/name] ([name]Jess[/name], [name]Jesse[/name])
[name]Henrietta[/name] ([name]Henry[/name])
[name]Louisa[/name] ([name]Lou[/name], [name]Louie[/name])
[name]Thomasina[/name], [name]Tomasa[/name] ([name]Tom[/name], [name]Tommy[/name])
[name]Willow[/name], [name]Willa[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name] ([name]Will[/name], [name]Willie[/name], [name]Billie[/name])
[name]Julia[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Juliana[/name] ([name]Jules[/name])
[name]Daniela[/name], [name]Danica[/name] ([name]Dan[/name], [name]Danny[/name])
[name]Antonia[/name] ([name]Tony[/name])
[name]Victoria[/name] ([name]Vic[/name])
I think [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], and [name]Frances[/name] would make great sisters! [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Joey[/name], and [name]Frankie[/name]! Then, if they want something a little more girlish, you can use [name]Lottie[/name], [name]Josie[/name], and [name]Francie[/name]…
[name]Lemon[/name]
PS What would you call your boys then, though?
I think a boyish nickname on a girl can be charming- and having that feminine name to fall back on is always a great thing to have. My parents wanted to call me [name]Lee[/name] when I was little, though I, from a young age, insisted on [name]Lisa[/name], not [name]Lee[/name]. Nowadays, I don’t mind [name]Lee[/name] and actually feel like it suits me more now than it did when I was little! Here are some of my favorites, sorry if they’ve been mentioned already!
[name]Georgina[/name]/[name]Georgiana[/name] - [name]Georgie[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name] - [name]Teddy[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] - [name]Jo[/name], [name]Joey[/name]
[name]Johanna[/name] - [name]Jo[/name], [name]Joey[/name] (I know a [name]Johanna[/name] who goes by [name]Joie[/name])
[name]Elianora[/name] - [name]Eli[/name] (ee-lye)
[name]Maxine[/name] - [name]Max[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name] - [name]Cory[/name] (unisex, but masculine imo)
[name]Frederica[/name] - [name]Freddie[/name]
[name]Francine[/name] - [name]Frankie[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] - [name]Lou[/name]
[name]Geraldine[/name] - [name]Gerry[/name]
[name]Alberta[/name] - [name]Bertie[/name]
[name]Augusta[/name] - [name]Gus[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] - [name]Henry[/name] (with the popularity of [name]Henry[/name] this is questionable, but doable because of [name]Henrietta[/name]'s other possible nn’s - [name]Henny[/name] and [name]Hattie[/name])
[name]Leonora[/name] - [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] - [name]Willie[/name]
[name]Hope[/name] that helps!
I love this subject!
My favorites from the above-mentioned names are:
[name]Charlotte[/name] - [name]Charlie[/name] (I also really like [name]Lottie[/name], but that’s off topic.)
[name]Francesca[/name] - [name]Frankie[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] - [name]Lou[/name]
My little girl is [name]Frederique[/name]. We call her [name]Fred[/name], but she had [name]Freddie[/name] for a while at creche.
We also like [name]Franka[/name] (ever seen Run [name]Lola[/name] Run with [name]Franka[/name] Portente?) - I prefer [name]Franka[/name] to [name]Francesca[/name], but obviously get the appeal of the very feminine long name.
[name]Claudette[/name]/[name]Claude[/name]
[name]Georgette[/name]/[name]George[/name]
I love [name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charley[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] nn [name]Mattie[/name], [name]Theodora[/name] nn [name]Teddy[/name]. I also know a [name]Jaclyn[/name] and her family calls her [name]Jake[/name]. [name]Joey[/name], [name]Drew[/name], and [name]Eddie[/name], though I don’t know what their full name would be, are also very cute. And I [name]LOVE[/name] elliotte for a girl, though the nn [name]Ellie[/name] is feminine.
