I like Girls name that have boyish nick names… im not s huge fan of unisex names but I would like ( if I have a girl) for her to have the option to use a boyish nn in case she is not super girly as a child or even as an adult… I know a few women who are the least feminine you could imagine and have names like [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Lily[/name]! they just dont suite them!!!
I like the nn’s…
[name]Lou[/name]
[name]Ray[/name]
[name]Len[/name]/[name]Lenny[/name]
[name]Kit[/name]
What names could give me these nickname? Any other suggestions for girls name that give a boyish/unisex nickname??
[name]Lou[/name] - [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name] is probably most traditional. If [name]Lu[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name] or any of the [name]Lucy[/name] names could probably work.
[name]Ray[/name] - Most of the female Rays/Raes I’ve known are Rachels. It’s certainly more attractive than “Rach”.
[name]Len[/name]/[name]Lenny[/name] - [name]Lenore[/name], [name]Lenora[/name], I suppose [name]Ellen[/name] or [name]Magdalen[/name].
[name]Kit[/name] - [name]Katherine[/name] would be most predictable/popular. [name]Kit[/name] for a male is often [name]Christopher[/name] so [name]Kit[/name] for a girl could reasonably be [name]Christine[/name]/[name]Christabel[/name]/[name]Christiana[/name] etc. I have a soft spot for [name]Ketzia[/name].
Other boyish nicknames I like and their full names
[name]Tommy[/name]/[name]Tommie[/name] - [name]Thomasin[/name] is my favourite, there’s also [name]Tamsin[/name] and [name]Thomasina[/name].
[name]Billie[/name] - [name]Willa[/name], Wilhemina, Bilhah
[name]Jo[/name] - [name]Josephine[/name], or more uncommonly, [name]Joelle[/name]/[name]Josefa[/name]/[name]Josefina[/name]
[name]Frankie[/name] - [name]Frances[/name]/[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Izzy[/name] - [name]Izzy[/name] is about as androgynous as [name]Kit[/name], to my mind, I have met boys and girls both nicknamed it. I have seen it on Isabellas but prefer [name]Isabel[/name]/[name]Isadora[/name]/Izolda/Izarra.
Other suggestions:
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Georgiana[/name] nn [name]George[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] nn [name]Frankie[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name] nn [name]Pip[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name] nn [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Veronica[/name] nn [name]Ron[/name], [name]Ronnie[/name]
[name]Antonia[/name] nn [name]Toni[/name]
[name]Nicole[/name] nn [name]Nick[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name] nn [name]Jack[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name] is pretty and feminine, and [name]Georgie[/name] is cute but non-girly. Same thing for [name]Francesca[/name] and [name]Frankie[/name], or [name]Samantha[/name] and [name]Sam[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Julianne[/name] and [name]Jules[/name], [name]Clementine[/name] and [name]Clem[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name] and [name]Willie[/name], etc. I think it works for several of the vintage-feminine names.
