Boy names with girly nicknames?

I’m still on the quest to find the perfect name and decided to steer away from my original very feminine names list and look towards more traditionally boys names as I’m running out of time and can’t make up my mind.

So far I’ve thought of Wyatt, Elliott (Ellie), Emerson and Emmett (Emmy/Emma) and Ryan.

I’ve met two girls in my life named Mason and Gabriel but those don’t fit my taste at all.

I am also open for more traditionally unisex names such as River, Avery and Blake.

Mila, Autumn, Matilda, Elise, Julie, Noelle, Maeve and Anya are currently in my “traditionally female names” list.

thank you!

Just give her a girl's name. Do you think there is something wrong with being a girl?

I once worked in the US with a woman called Mario. She found it embarrassing having a boy's name.

Is the baby a boy or a girl?

Sorry, are you looking for names for a girl? If so, why are you so keen to give her a boys name, especially if you are trying to find a girl's name linked to it?
