I like them. They seem very spunky and cute. I especially love
Charlie for
Charlotte,
Charlene, etc. The only one you mentioned that I don't like is
Al for
Alexandra. I think masculine nns for feminine full names is more acceptable because the child still has their real name to fall back on when they're older or if they just decide that they don't like their nn. However, I would not want to see a feminine nn on a masculine name. I just cannot stand it when names that are not unisex cross over.
