I too was wondering why you are specifically trying to seek out a boys' name, for a girl ?

Fair enough, if you happen to like Alex or Chris or whatever, but that feels very different from specifically looking for a boys name.

I teach a little girl called Evan, I think it's lovely.

Bertie or Bobbie for Roberta is cute.

Are you sure you won't be giving your daughter the idea that you really wanted a boy? Asking "in case" you have a girl sounds a bit like a contingency plan rather than a big welcome to your new daughter. Just wondering if you've considered what she might think? Hopefully this is not your motive at all...

Love Francesca but closely followed by Robyn

MrsLemonadeBrain · 28/04/2018 13:02

I absolutely love Stevie, I teach a lovely girl with this name and I don’t think it’s short for anything although I know a grown up Stephanie who goes by Steve.
