Nicknames - Ideas please?
I'm trying to think of some girls' names that have boy-ish nicknames. (Something along the lines of Francesca "Frankie" or Alexandra "Alex"). I tend to like particularly feminine names, whereas my bf prefers girls' names that are a little more tomboy-ish, so I thought this might be a great way to compromise.
Any good ideas? :)

I've always liked feminine names that have boy-ish nicknames.
*My name is Joanna and I have a friend that calls me Joey, which I think is cute.
*My daughter is Alexandra but we call her Andie.
I read a book in which the main character's name was Margaret but she went by Rett, which I thought was cute.
Good luck!

Andrea: Andy/Andi
Aontionette/Antonia: Toni
Alexandra/etc.: Al (There is a series of books from the eighties by Constance C. Greene abouta girl named Alexandra who goes by Al.)
Amy: Amos (I have a friend whose name is Aimee and her family occasionally calls her Amos for a joke)
Barbara/Roberta: Bobbie
Wilhelmina: Billie
Bernice/Bernadette: Bernie (I know a lady named Burnese who is called Burnie)
Carhlotte/Charlene: Charlie/Chuck (I know a Charlynda who sometimes goes by Chuck)

Lynette: Lennie?
Michelle: Mike (I know a nurse at the eye doctor's office, her name is Mike. I don't know what it's short for)
Margaret: Markie (I think this is Markie Post's name)
Melanie: Mel
Natalie: Nate/Nat
Olivia: Ollie
Patricia: Pete/Pat? (once read a book about a girl whose name was Priscilla, but she went by Pete)
Regina: Reggie/Richie?
Rhonda/Veronica: Ronnie

Ruth: Rusty? (Rusty ona girl is kind of tacky though, and kind of downmarket on a male, too)
Samantha: Sam
Stephanie: Stevie

Bear in mind, some of these are the kind of nns that only a certain kind of girl can p8ull off. Most every Samantha will get to be Sam for a little while, but not every Laura is going to be able to manage Larry.
