HelpRe: Boy names + girly nicknames
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
I'm all for them in general. There are several of which I am a fan.
Callum nn Callie
Tristram / Tristan nn Tris
Josiah nn Josie or Josey
Merritt / Meriwether nn Merry (You could also make an argument for Rita, in the case of the former, but that one doesn't do much for me.)
Alistair / Alasdair nn Aly / Allie / Alis (Hadn't thought of Alis before, but I really dig it!)
Cassander / Caspian / Casper nn Cassie
Lucian nn Lucy
In some cases, I'm more a fan of the nn on a boy than of the actual names from which it could be derived. For example, Conrad / Conor / Connor nn Connie, although Connor / Conor isn't too bad.
I also like some "girly" names for boys--for example, Mackenzie. It boggles my mind that people see the name as feminine.
I used to love James nn Jamie, but Game of Thrones ruined it for me, and I'm not even an avid follower of the show.
Of the ones you mentioned, that don't overlap with mine, I like Cato nn Caty and Emmanuel nn Emmy. I also like Kylie but not Kylan or Kyle.
