'Masculine' girls names?

Posting for my pregnant best friend. She is expecting a girl and really likes 'masculine' girls names (like Alex or Sydney nn Sid) but we're struggling to come up with many.

What masculine girls names are there? Including nick names?

Hilary, Jocelyn, Tracey and Shirley and Evelyn were all boys names originally.

As someone who has had to put up with this, please discourage your friend.
I am 40 this Friday, and still an overriding memory from primary school and the first part of secondary school, is being bullied about having "a boy's name".

I would use Stevie if I had a girl

I also once sat on a bus and heard someone call a teenage girl 'Stanley' which I thought was great.
