Help[Opinions] Re: Boy names + girly nicknames
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
I LOVE THEM.
I'm a fan of so-called "effeminate" names though.
My favourite is Sebastian called Basha (link: https://www.behindthename.com/name/basha/submitted).
I think I like it mostly because I think it sounds like a Russian diminutive (it's not).
Furthermore, I love Russian diminutives and most people call them "girly," but Sasha, Misha, Zhenya, etc are AWESOME to me.
Adair / Adrian / Adriel "Addie"
Linden / Lincoln / Linwood "Lin"
Gabriel "Gabby"
Isaiah / Isidore / Israel "Izzy"
Christopher / Christian / Crispin "Chrissy"
Nicholas / Dominic "Nikki"
Grayson "Gracie"
Carson / Carbrey / Carlos / Carter / Carmine "Carrie"
Emmanuel / Emilio "Emmy / Emma"
Caleb / Callum / Calvin / Cale "Cayley / Callie"
Kayden "Kady"
Jaden "Jade" (I used to know a male Jade, but I think that's his full name. His siblings all have unusual names.)
Rosario / Roosevelt "Rose / Rosie"
Jensen "Jen"
Winslow / Winston "Winnie"
Angel / Angelino "Angie"
Dorian "Dory" (I used to know one of these too.)
Salvador / Salomon "Sal / Sally"
Valentin / Valentino / Valerio "Val"
Josiah / Joseph "Josie"
Castiel / Cassian / Casper / Casimir / Caspian "Cassie"
Maximilian / Maximus / Maxwell "Maxie"
Alistair / Alexander / Albert / Alfred / Aloysius "Allie"
Augustus / August "Aggie"

-I love most of these too, especially the Russian ones. Sasha, Zhenya, Misha, Pasha are all adorable and totally work for guys.
-I actually know a Salvador who is sometimes called Sally. It’s cute.
-Gracie as an NN for Grayson (or other boy names starting with Gra-) is adorable. It would also work for Gratian, which is a much more distinctive full name, imho.
-I’m not a fan of Kady (and variants) for personal reasons. I was called that sometimes when I was younger and always disliked it because it seemed too frilly (I’m not male btw). I guess it’s nice, just not on me.
