Names like Georgina, Roberta, Claudia and Edwina?

[AlexanderSkarsgardIWould]

Basically classic girls names derived from masculine names that can be shortened to cute nicknames, like Georgie and Bobbie. Any suggestions?

Aren't you considering Claudia?

Francesca

Francesca is nice but unfortunately the name of a significant ex of DP's!

Henrietta

Charlotte

Thomasina

Jemima (from James)

Caroline (from Charles)

Nigella

Oh that's a shame

Charlotte is lovely

Um, what would you shorten Nigella to?

Charlotte's a bit common for my liking.

Regina (Reggie)
Michaela (Mickey)
Wilhelmina (Bilie, I suppose, but I also know a great female Will)
Veronica (Ronnie)
Charlotte (Charlie)

I went to school with a Jimi, who was Jemima

Nigella could be shortened to Ella (or Nige )

This thread reminds me of DW's longlist for DD - very pukka names, all of them.

Once knew a Victoria and Rachel known as Vic and Ray!!!!!!!!

What's the obsession though with making masculine diminutives of such lovely names?

Um - eeryone is missing the obvious ones!
