'Masculine' girls names?

[QuestioningStuff]

Posting for my pregnant best friend. She is expecting a girl and really likes 'masculine' girls names (like Alex or Sydney nn Sid) but we're struggling to come up with many.

What masculine girls names are there? Including nick names?

Robyn
Edwina (Ed)
Claudia ((Claude)
Georgina (George)
Harriet (Harry)
Henrietta (henry)
Geraldine (Gerry)
Darcy
Taylor
Victoria (victor)
Michaela (Michael)
Michelle
Billie
Alana (Alan)

Pretty girly name

That's made my day (sorry, poster, I suspect you didn't quite mean it that way)

Loads of girls names are "pretty and girly" in the long, and quite masculine in the short - Alex(andra), George/ie(ina), Stevie(Stephanie) etc

Wray

Kay
Julian/Julyan
Lindsay

Dylan
Darcey
Stevie
Frankie

Love them all.

Harper
Rowan

Artemis is a Greek goddess! You can't get more feminine that that!

I love Stanley and Sidney!

Madison?
Jo (for Joanna)?

Archie
Joan

Hadley?

What boy's names does she like?

Tom? Dick? Harry? Alex? Joe? Nigel? Chris? Kit? Hal? George? etc etc

Decided on that first, then call her daughter the female version and use the common male nickname.

Tomasina / Ricardia / Henrietta / Alexandra / Josephine / Nigella / Christine, Katherine and various forms of / Henrietta (again) / Georgina or Georgette

Artemis Fowl, who will be more familiar to kids than a Greek goddess, is a male character though.

well my children have never read Artemis Fowl and know very well that Artemis was a Greek Goddess [smug face] lol

Bertie (I'd go for Alberta but could be Roberta etc too)
Also love Joey!

Also I always suggest Ryan on threads like these, like Sandra Bullock in Gravity!

Well mine are familiar with both Greek goddesses and teenage criminal geniuses. . Personally I think it's a lovely name for a girl.

Smugger not smuggler damn you autocorrect.

I like Billie.

I am not fond of the trend for taking a very previously male name like James and giving it to a girl. It's all 'oh I'm so cool and unisex' but actually to me it reinforces the idea that girl is lesser. Because I'd bet everything I own that Blake Lively and Jessica Simpson and Mila whotsit and the like would never have named a boy Elizabeth or Sarah. It's ok for a girl to sound like a boy. But a boy like a girl, well that's just insulting.

Sorry, little side track there. I think the neutral thing works better with either very established unisex names - Alex - or the totally new - River- or where they are a nickname for a longer name.

I know a little girl called Robyn Dylan ? that's a first name and middle name too not Dylan as a surname.

I also have a cousin Robyn and dd's friends mum is a Robyn.. I think it's popular over this way ?
