HelpRe: Boy on Girl Nicknames?
in reply to a message by reh912
I used to work witha lady named Bernadette Maxwell, and her nickname was Bernie Mack! lol
Sam is so common a nickname I don't even think of it as being boyish if I see it on a girl.
Some girls just naturally seem to wind up witha boyish nn, usually becaus they are tomboys and like to hang out with other boys.
I think Sean for Sharon is kind of a strech though.
My husband's grandmother has several sisters (Geneva, Ethel, Mary-Lee and Annie, her name is Lillian) and one brother Tom. Her dad gave all the girls boys' names for fun:
Lillian: Pete
Geneva: Johnny
Ethel: Bill
Mary-Lee: Dicky
Annie: John
And the funny thing is, they STILL use them to this day while talking to or about each other: "Yeah, I went to the flea market with Bill and Johnny today and you should see the junk they bought!"
