Girls names that can be shortened to boys names...

[AlfieBear87]

I can only think of 2, can you think of anymore?

Charlotte - Charlie
Antonia - Toni

I was a huge tomboy when I was growing up and hated my girly name. I'd like to give my daughter an option to shorten her name if she wants to but I'm not particularly keen on either of the names above. Can you help?

Samantha-Sam
Harriet-Harry

I so wanted to be called George (shortened from Georgina) when I was growing up.
Yes, i was a big famous five fan.
What about Joanne/Josephine - Jo
Alexandra - alex

Alexandria-alex my daughters like that hates alexandria so we had to change all her school records she would cringe. Still call her it if im annoyed.

I LOVE the name harriet but we already have a son called Harry!!

Alexandra-Alex

Alexandra, Samantha, Joanne/Josephine, Danielle, Stephanie, Georgia/Georgina, Philippa, Theodora, Paula/Pauline, Frederica, Roberta (actually 'Bob can go with just about anything since Blackadder)

Just as a point of interest, would you think the same way about a boy? Andrew- so he could shorten it to Ann..............
