Nicknames like Mickey and Ricki?

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there! So I’ve recently rediscovered a love of “male” nicknames for girls.

In particular, I love [name_u]Mickey[/name_u] for [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ricki[/name_f] for [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f]— remembering those is what brought me here.

In the (admittedly not super likely) event that I ever have a daughter, [name_u]Mickey[/name_u] and [name_f]Ricki[/name_f] are sadly both out because I have a cousin [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] “[name_u]Shelley[/name_u]” and two (male) Rickys in the family already.

Other nicknames I like similar to these:

  • [name_m]Codi[/name_m] — [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] — [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (also can’t use)
  • [name_u]Romy[/name_u] — [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Cass[/name_u] — [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] or [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] — [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]? (also can’t use)
  • [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] — [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Remy[/name_u] — Remielle or [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f]
  • [name_m]Kenny[/name_m] — [name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], [name_f]Makenna[/name_f]
  • [name_u]Joey[/name_u] — [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]

Would love to hear your thoughts on these as well as any similar ones you like!

Nice!! I like [name_u]Freddy[/name_u] / [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] on a girl. I think I prefer it short for [name_f]Frederica[/name_f], though :blush:

How could I forget [name_u]Max[/name_u] and [name_u]Beck[/name_u]? Absolutely love. [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Max[/name_u] should definitely be on my list.

Some of the others on your list are favorites of mine too, but are out because of people I know or relatives I have.

Hi there.

I am not into unisex names myself, but I’m way more on board w/them when there’s a feminine full name involved. [name_f]My[/name_f] best bud’s little sister growing up was [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mikki[/name_f]. [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ricki[/name_f] is fun & different too, even though not my style.

Here are my thoughts on the list of usable ideas:

Codi-[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]-I really like this idea. Would honestly just do [name_u]Cody[/name_u] for simplicity sake. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is lovely, bold, romantic, feminine & classic. The nn [name_m]Codi[/name_m]/Cody is light & kind of beach-y. Very cool.

Frankie-[name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]-I like this too. I mean, I prefer [name_f]Franny[/name_f] or [name_f]Francie[/name_f], but [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] as a nn for [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] is fun.

Romy-[name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]-That’s certainly unique. A little much for me, but interesting.

Cass-[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] or [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]-I don’t love, but it’s not bad.

Stevie-[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]-Or [name_f]Stefania[/name_f]/Stephania? I like that! It’s fancier & less 80s sounding.

Jame-[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]-That’s a clever idea. Maybe even [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] would work too. I like [name_u]Jamie[/name_u].

Remy-Remielle or [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f]-Both full names seem a bit smoosh-y. I think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] nn [name_u]Remy[/name_u] would work.

Kenny-[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u], [name_f]Makenna[/name_f]-Meh, not a fan of this one. They seem a little trendy.

Joey-[name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]-That one is cute. I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:
