I like to mess with people's minds (in theory, anyway) by giving my kids gender-specific names, but with opposite nns. For instance, I'd name a girl Veronica, but give her the nn Ron. Or name a boy Andrew, but give him the nn Ann. What "opposite" nns can you come up with for these names? Some are easy, some are hard; remember, you can't use unisex nns...they must be gender-specific. Have fun!
