I realize some people prefer for girls to have a girly name without shortening it down to a boys for a nickname. I was wondering what your opinion was on these kind of names?
I don’t have an overall opinion. Like for [name]Alexandra[/name] I love the nn [name]Alex[/name] rather than something girly like [name]Lexi[/name], [name]Alexa[/name], etc. I guess it depends on what nicknames I like for that particular name for me.
The feminizations I like involve making the name longer…
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
Some I like and some I don’t, it depends on the style of the name. [name]Theodora[/name] is an example of one I don’t like.
I like [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Antonia[/name], [name]Augusta[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Harriet[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] (my favorite), [name]Justine[/name], [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name], [name]Mattea[/name]/[name]Matthea[/name], and [name]Willa[/name]. So yes, generally I do like feminizations.
I love a lot of feminizations- [name]Antonia[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Harriet[/name], [name]Henrietta[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Willa[/name], and [name]Wilhelmina[/name]. I think tomboy nicknames can be cute too.
- [name]Athena[/name]
i love [name]Samantha[/name] and the nicknames [name]Sammy[/name]/ie and [name]Sam[/name]. i also love [name]Georgina[/name] with the nickname [name]Gina[/name] - but i don’t like [name]Georgie[/name] or [name]George[/name] as nicknames. i also love [name]Louise[/name], but prefer it as a middle name. i do not like Wilehlmina, [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Henrietta[/name], [name]Harriet[/name] to name a few. so i guess i have some feminisations i love, but in general i am not such a fan…
I like some feminizations - I like [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name]. For the most part, I don’t like feminizations.
I love some feminizations like…

Some of them are ok…

[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Michaela[/name]

[name]Petra[/name]
[name]Maxima[/name]
[name]Fabienne[/name]
[name]Eugenia[/name]
[name]Flavia[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
While some of them are over-the-top and less appealing to me…
[name]Thomasina[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]
[name]Alberta[/name]
Richenza
[name]Cornelia[/name]
[name]Juanita[/name]
[name]Donatella[/name]
[name]Timothea[/name]
Yes I do them.
Not all of them mind you, but plenty of them I do.
I love many of them – just because they happen to be beautiful names in their own right.
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name]
[name]Augusta[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Gabriella[/name]
There are certainly may feminizations that do not appeal to me, but I’d say that, in general, I do like them. I love the idea of a little girl named [name]Theodora[/name], and called [name]Teddy[/name]. Other more common names like [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Gabrielle[/name], [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name], [name]Jacqueline[/name], etc, are so commonplace that I hardly even think of them as feminizations anymore. I guess it really does depend on your personal style.
I don’t like them simply because they are feminizations, but I [name]DO[/name] love quite a few of them. [name]Theodora[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Eugenia[/name]…
Some I love, some I don’t, some feel too forced to me
The good…
[name]Josephine[/name]- [name]Jo[/name] & [name]Joey[/name] are fine, but I prefer [name]Josie[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name]- [name]Willa[/name], [name]Billie[/name] & [name]Mina[/name] are all awesome in their own way
[name]Edna[/name]- no nn
[name]Geraldine[/name]- love [name]Dean[/name], not [name]Geri[/name]
[name]Thomasina[/name]- [name]Tommie[/name] is ok, Tassie is sweet
[name]Maxine[/name]- nn [name]Max[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] & [name]Mischa[/name]- kind of feminizations of [name]Michael[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] or [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Alexandria[/name]
[name]Andrea[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name]
[name]Ivanna[/name]
[name]Yvette[/name]
[name]Robin[/name]- nn [name]Bobbie[/name]…I know not many like this.
[name]Frances[/name] nn [name]Frankie[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]- nn [name]Hattie[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name]- nn [name]Etta[/name]

[name]Brianne[/name]
[name]Michaela[/name] (and variants)
[name]Carlie[/name]
[name]Denise[/name]

I think, for the most part I’ve just heard these too much
The strange ones are attempts at feminizing names that aren’t commonly altered that way…like [name]Matthew[/name], [name]David[/name] or [name]Richard[/name].
I dislike almost all of them.
