Girl names with boy nicknames

Some of you might have seen my post from yesterday about Alexandra and Alex, but DH and I are trying to think of girl names that can have boy nicknames.  Some off the top of my head:

Alexandra (Alex) - my favorite so far
Samantha (Sam) - reminds me too much of who's the boss
Nicole (Nick/Nikki)

I know there are more, maybe when I wake up I can remember some of the others we thought of but what else can you think of? TIA!

    Dana Lilypie Fifth Birthday tickers Lilypie Third Birthday tickers
  • Josephine = Joey

    Can you tell I was a Dawson's Creek fan?

  • Francesca / Frankie was high up on our list!  LOVE IT!!!

    I used to know a Johnna / Johnnie.

    My daughter took music class with a baby girl named Billie, another named Carson and another named Cameron (I guess the last two names are more unisex). 

  • I also knew a Ricki, I cant remember what her real name was though.

  • We had planned on calling Charlotte - Charlie.  But it just doesnt fit her - still think its cute though.

    I always like Veronica and then you could call her Nicki or Ronnie.

     

  • Google the show Sisters...all the girls had names with boy nicknames

    Georgie

    Charlie

    I can't remember the rest of them.

  • Jaclyn or Jacqueline - Jack or Jackie

    I was friends in high school with Georgieann - we all called her Georgie. 

    My parents friends named their daughter Lee (rather than Leigh). 

    Roberta - Bobbi (I have an aunt by marriage, Aunt Bobbi). 

    Joanne/Joanna/Josephine/Johanna - Joe / Joey / JoJo (I have an Aunt Joey and a "SIL" JoJo).   

    Tomasina - Tommi

    Danielle or Daniella - Dani 

    Shauna - Shaun

    Veronica - Ronni (like Ronni Spector)

  • My daughter is Daniella, but could be called Dani
    These are some that I personally know.
    Antonia = Toni
    Nicole = Nicki
    Georgianna = Georgie
    Alexa = Alex

  • I'm a big fan of unisex names, especially for a girl.  Our youngest is named Jolie.  I call her JoJo and DH calls her Joey.
  • Funny my daughters name is Alexandra (and we call her Alex most of the time) and Samantha was top 2 if we had a girl the second time around!  We always joked if we called them Sam and Alex people would think we had 2 boys! 

    My SIL name is Christine and they call her Chris

     

  • My name is Rachael and people always call me Ray

    Charlotte (Charlie)

    I remember when the show 'Sisters' was on and all 4 girls had female  names but male nicknames because I think the father wanted boys but got all girls.  I think the names where Theodora (Teddy), Georgiana (Georgie), Francesca (Frankie) and Alexandra (Alex).  There was also another illegitimate sister too, Charlotte, the above example.

  • Richelle= Rikki

  • I have an aunt, her name is Barbara, but she goes by Bobbi.

    Also a cousin Charlene, sometimes called Charlie.

  • my grandmother's name was Hannah and everyone called her Hank. 

    i also had an aunt ray (rachael). 

    i know a female Gerry (it might be Gerri, actually, i think it's Jerri) and i think her full name is Geraldine.

    i once met a female Bernie (her name was Bernadette, i think).

    all the other ones i can think of have been mentioned already.

  • My DD is Mackenzie. The other day someone called her Mac which to me sounds a bit boyish. We call her Kenzie
