Okay, I’m not the type to share plot details in the forums so this may be tricky, but I need a list of names for my female MC that have boyish pet forms or are used distinctly for boys, preferably beyond [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and the like. The characters in her life always call her by this more masculine name and it defines a big part of her self esteem. Some names that I like but not enough for this particular character are:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] nn [name_m]Al[/name_m]
[name_u]Ryan/name_u
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] nn [name_m]Ed[/name_m]
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] nn [name_m]Ken[/name_m]/[name_m]Kenny[/name_m]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_u]Evan[/name_u]
I know my style is kind of everywhere but any help would be lovely. I feel like I’m just bursting with ideas and I’ve just gotten over a 3-month block, so I can’t wait to get to writing!
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f] for [name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] for [name_u]Nick[/name_u]/[name_m]Ron[/name_m]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] for [name_m]Abe[/name_m]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for Blitz
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] for [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] for [name_m]Otis[/name_m](possibly joking)
I have similar characters and troubles, so I wish you good luck!

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_m]Esra[/name_m] for a girl! It would sound the same as [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] except for a slightly softer ‘z’ sound.

I really like [name_u]Jo[/name_u] ([name_f]Josephine[/name_f]) and [name_m]Jack[/name_m] ([name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]). [name_u]Brett[/name_u] is another option, although I’m not sure if it fits your character’s personality But I figure that if [name_m]Hemingway[/name_m] used the name [name_u]Brett[/name_u] for a female character, I would think it is worth considering for a female. Good luck!
