Masculinisations of girl's names?

I’ve been thinking lately that there are lots of boy names turned into girls names like

[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]
[name_f]Edwina[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Frederica[/name_f] etc…

But i don’t know of many girl names turned into boy names! ie
Sofio
Isabello
Madelett etc…

So do you guys have any traditional ‘girl’ names that you think should be made into boys, or do you dislike the idea? Thoughts?

According to some sources [name_m]Amias[/name_m] is derived from [name_f]Amy[/name_f].

[name_m]Natalio[/name_m] is a boy’s name I saw on NB the other day and liked. I really like the idea of male variations of female names.

I think it’s very rare for people to masculinize (?) a feminine name. The only cases I can think of are [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] and [name_m]Christian[/name_m]. From what I’ve heard, [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] came into use as a masculinization of [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and [name_m]Christian[/name_m] originated on girls, and has since transferred to boys (which I find pretty cool!). There’s also [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], which I’m not sure really fits into this category, but it seems like it’s transferred genders so many times that it should count for something. :slight_smile:

I wrote a piece of English work on this. I couldn’t find many either. I think it is just gender bias - it is okay to seem more masculine, but not more feminine.
