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?

Roberta - Bertie

Oops just seen someone already came up with that one.

How about Stevie? I quite like that name

Ray for Rachel too

BTW to the perosn who suggested Frances as a unisex name up thread:

Frances is the girls version
Francis is the boys version

Pedantic but Frances (girl) is Francis if a boy.

X post steppemum

Being even more pedantic, I suggested Frances as a girl's name that can be shortened to Frank, a boy's.
I know that Francis is a boy's name.

That wasn't to me though, was it , so please ignore my excessive pedantry

"BTW to the perosn who suggested Frances as a unisex name up thread:

That was me. I know that and should have put both spellings. Also Lesley/Leslie. It is just when the names are said aloud they sound the same.

only got my pedant's hat on because it is a family name, 4 generations of them here! (middle names)

Lee can be male or female. Ray I think the same (Ray Eames was female), or can be spelled Rae for a girl.
