More masculine girls names...

[MadBannersAndCopPorn]

We have two girls both with short, feminine but strong names- think Thea, Edie etc. If we have another girl I would like to choose something a bit less girly. IYSWIM

I've been thinking...
Frankie- any other long names for this nn other than Frances?
Cameron- nn Cami
Joss
Jude
Jules
Eliette (wild card- pronounced Elliot)
Cleo?! (Cleona)
Charlie (DP does not like Charlotte- I love it, any other long names?)


Not a fan of the Ellie-Mae, Gracie-Lou kind of names (sorry). Do not like Sam, Max or Robyn for a girl

Thanks

Clem for Clementine, GiGi for Georgia.

[ThursdayLast]

Bit old fashioned, but not even remotely girly... Hester?

[Layl77]

Robyn or rowan

[pebblepots]

Agree with Bluestars, Belinda is nice for Billie. Getting Billie from Willow seems a bit random.

[Onyabike]

Erin? Predominantly used as a feminine forename, but can be used for both sexes.

[WeleaseWodger]

Leslie

(Unisex but at the same time I knew a very girlie Leslie so it feels feminine to me)

[soontobeslendergirl]

I know a male and female Piper

[Rakoshi]

I have a Carly that got shortened to Billy and now answers to Bill.

[Beer0Clock]

Lindsay

[curlew]

Why would you give a girl a boy's name?

[EstelleGetty]

I love Lou for a girl (not as a suffix like Mary-Lou etc). It sounds quite strong. It could be shortened from Louise or I did know a French baby girl called Louison (traditionally a male name, but very nice).

I don't have any DCs yet, but if we had a girl we'd call her Lucienne and shorten that to Lou.

[badtime]

Frankie could also be Francisca (the Spanish/Portuguese version).

For Charlie, I think you could probably used the other names derived from Charles, such as Caroline/Carolyn? It's a bit of a stretch, though.

[ScrambledSmegs]

Jo - from Josephine.
Clem - from Clemency

Don't know if it helps but DD2 has Beatrice as a middle name. She's known as Bear

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

Jaime?

Stevie from Stephanie
Mickie - Michaela
Ronnie - Veronica
Vic - Victoria

[Caip]

2 of my favourite at the moment are Henrietta and Claudia - I think Claude for a girl is really cute and there are a few different options with Henrietta
I also love Peta (pron. Peter), met one at a wedding and I'm sure she gets fed up of having to repeat it but I like it

[Caip]

forgot to add Adrienne
