What are some beautiful girls names that have cute boyish-nn's?

I love boys names for girls nn’s. For example [name]Jackie[/name] is such a cute nn for [name]Jacklyn[/name]. What are some names like this that you find adorable?

My favorite boys nn for a girl is [name]Dany[/name] or [name]Dannie[/name] but I don’t like [name]Danielle[/name] because it sounds and looks almost exactly the same as [name]Daniel[/name] to me. [name]Do[/name] you know of any [name]Dany[/name] type names that would be pretty on a girl even if it doesn’t get shortened?

What about [name]Danika[/name]/[name]Danica[/name]? I’ve also heard [name]Danette[/name]/Dannette, too.

I also like these:
[name]Charlotte[/name] “[name]Charlie[/name]”
[name]Alexine[/name]/[name]Alexandra[/name]/[name]Alexandria[/name]/[name]Alexa[/name]/[name]Alexia[/name] “[name]Alex[/name]/[name]Lex[/name]”
[name]Dominique[/name]/[name]Domenika[/name] “[name]Dom[/name]/[name]Nick[/name]”
[name]Nicolette[/name] “[name]Cole[/name]/[name]Nick[/name]”
[name]Eleni[/name]/[name]Helena[/name]/[name]Gwendolen[/name]/[name]Magdalen[/name]/etc. “[name]Leni[/name]/[name]Lenny[/name]” ([name]Leni[/name] is the ONE “unisex” nickname I [name]ADORE[/name] on a girl! I think it’s so cute!)
[name]Gabrielle[/name] “[name]Gabe[/name]”
[name]Bryony[/name] “Bry/[name]Bryan[/name]/[name]Ry[/name]”
[name]Evangeline[/name] “[name]Evan[/name]/Ev”

Sorry, I can’t really think of any! I’m not a huge fan of boyish nicknames in general… there’s nothing wrong with them–they’re just not my style.

[name]Josephine[/name], nn [name]Joey[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name], nn [name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Andromeda[/name], nn [name]Andi[/name]
[name]Coraline[/name], nn [name]Cori[/name]

[name]Veronica[/name], nn [name]Ronnie[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name], nn [name]Lu[/name] (or for a girly twist, [name]Lulu[/name])

Oh, and I know a woman named [name]Danette[/name] who goes by [name]Dani[/name].

Rosamund/Rosamond nn Romy
Nicole nn Nicky/Nicki, Cole/Coley
Georgia nn George, Georgie
Caroline nn Caz, Caro
Leona or Leora nn Leo
Frederica nn Freddie/Freddy
Antonia or Antoinette nn Toni
Ernestine nn Ernie
Winifred nn Winnie, Win, Freddie
Pauline or Paulina nn Paulie

I like [name]Charlotte[/name] with n.n. [name]Charlie[/name].

There’s a couple

[name]Antonia[/name]/[name]Antoinette[/name]- [name]Toni[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name]/[name]Lorelai[/name]- [name]Rory[/name]

[name]Winifred[/name]- [name]Freddy[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]- [name]Cory[/name] or [name]Rory[/name]

That’s all I can think of right now, but I’m sure there’s more.

[name]Theodora[/name] nn [name]Theo[/name]

all of these are on my own personal list for the same reasons as you!

I come from a whole family like this! So I’ll give you mine and my sister’s names. [name]Hope[/name] they don’t mind. :wink:

[name]Veronika[/name]-[name]Roni[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]-[name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Jocelyn[/name]-[name]Joss[/name], [name]Joey[/name]
[name]Daniella[/name]-[name]Dani[/name]
[name]Nicollette[/name]-[name]Niki[/name]

With the exception of [name]Charlotte[/name], we were named after my uncles. She was named after our grandfather.

My favorites would be:

[name]Maxima[/name] “[name]Max[/name]”
[name]Leonie[/name] / [name]Leona[/name] / [name]Leola[/name] “[name]Leo[/name]”
[name]Theodora[/name] “[name]Theo[/name]”
[name]Harriet[/name] “[name]Harri[/name]”
[name]Catherine[/name] / [name]Catrin[/name] “[name]Cato[/name]”
[name]Olivia[/name] / [name]Olive[/name] / [name]Olwen[/name] / [name]Olympia[/name] “Oli / [name]Oly[/name]”

Names that can yield [name]Dany[/name] or [name]Dannie[/name]:

[name]Dana[/name]ë (sounds almost identical to the way I say [name]Dany[/name])
[name]Dana[/name] (a little dated though)
[name]Daniela[/name] / [name]Daniella[/name]
Daniyah (Arabic -“near, close”)
[name]Danuta[/name] / Danute - (Polish/Lithuanian - nicknames that I think could be first names: Danusia, [name]Danka[/name])
[name]Danya[/name]

and I think [name]Dany[/name] could work for a nickname [name]Daphne[/name]… and possibly [name]Donata[/name].

I know a [name]Danelle[/name].
