*blushes* I'm actually a big fan of feminine names with masculine NNs. Just look at my favorites (in my sig): Benjamina (NN Benny); Augusta (NN Gus); Georgiana (NN Georgie). I also love Louisa NN Lou. I blame this love of masculine NNs for feminine names on my grandmother (Lucille NN Lu (she HATES Lucy)) and great-grandmother (Mellenise NN Mickey).

I hate it when parents just name their daughters with the masculine NN, though. Like Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen, who both have daughters named Sam...Just Sam. Not Samantha or even Samara. Sam. It drives me nuts!! At least give your daughter the option of using a more feminine full name instead of just the NN...
