HelpRe: Thoughts on Billie?
in reply to a message by Teacups
Billie always reminds me of WWII, Rosie the Riveter type gals. Love it. As long as the feminine form is spelled with an "-ie" and the male form with a "-y," then I don't mind the gender-bending aspect.
Billie can stand on its own. The whole point of it is to be bold and independant, just like the WWII gals. But it certainly works as a nn for Wilhelmina and Willa. Willow is stretching it a bit, but sure, why not? While we're at it, I can also see Billie as a nn for Sibyl / Sibylla and Cybele ("SIB-uh-lee"). I don't care for Jubilee as a formal name, but it's another possibility.
