We've had posts on here about favorite unisex names, but what are your favorite masculine & feminine name pairs - as in, cases where you really like both forms of the name? Such as John & Jane, or Anthony & Antonia, or Robert & Roberta (or Robin / Robyn).Here are my favorite pairs like this:Donovan & Donna
Gabriel & Gabriella / Gabrielle
Joseph & Josephine
Julian & Juliet (also Julia / Juliana)
Kieran & Kira
Nicholas & Nicolette (also Colette)
Noel & Noelle
Stefan & Stephanie
Sylvan & Sylvie / Sylvana
Theodore & Theodora
Thomas & Tamsin
Valerian & Valeria
William & Wilhelmina***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

Also, it looks like Kira is a feminine form of Cyrus, not Kieran, and Donna is a feminine form of Donald, not Donovan.

In those cases I went by sound rather than pure etymology.

Oooh, I forgot about Adrian & Adrienne! As well as Darius (as a masculine form of Daria).
