Helpand before anybody asks ...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I don't think that most masculine nns are good on adult women. Sam, Charlie, Stevie, and Mike. Mke, you ask?
Yes, I once met a nurse who called herslelf Mike. I thought "What are you, ten years old and and disguising yourself as your brother to play on a Little League team in some 1970's kiddie movie?"
I'd include Nikki/Nicky, too, but I don't think this is a good name for ANYBODY except maybe a mobster. Little Nicky or Nicky the Knife.
We don't need to set the sky on fire. A little glow will do just fine.

No fights - but feel free to opine
I am describing one of two popular musicians by the name of Stevie:
Each has long hair.
Each (sometimes) wears earrings - long and dangly.
Each has struggled with drug addiction throughout his or her career.
Which Stevie do I describe?
I admire Michael Steele from the bangles - I think her original name is Susan Nancy. I am uncertain of the details but she suffered from sexual harassment. It would have much more difficult for her to protect herself legally, maintain fortitude - and remain in her chosen profession simply due to individual abuse & a subsequent reputational defamation.
I knew a long blond haired catechism instructor (while in first or second grade) perhaps nick-named - Mike - this is how she introduced herself; and this lady had all the charms of a beautiful woman.

I think there are always individuals who can bear an unexpected name and make it not seem strange or wrong.
It doesn't really change my opinion about what sort of person I personally feel a name wouldn't suit.
It's easy to make an exception to a general judgment when you're faced with an individual, but we're talking about aesthetic opinions of names here, not the limits of human beings.

Thank you.
I know I should not stray far from names here, but, I certainly can empathize with the Bangles' band member, Michael Steele - and the countless others who must have suffered similarly.
Thanks again for responding.
