'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?

I started watching Pretty Little Liars yesterday and there is a girl in that called Spencer. I really like that for a girl :)

I find the shortner names with strong consonant sounds most masculine (and prefer them), so

Stella
Kate
Meg
Pippa
Frankie
Veronica
Jo
Olive
Sascha
Greta
Nell

Elliott

Her father was convinced she was a boy and wanted a boy. They chose the name Barrie and stuck with it when it turned out she wasn't a boy! Her middle name is Clare but her father insisted she be known as Barrie!

Who would call their son Barrie, never mind their daughter?

Barack Obama was always known as Barrie/Barry!

Jodie originally from the name Judith.
In the bible Judith was an exceptionally beautiful woman who used her intelligence in order to win the trust of a fearsome warrior that had waged war on her people bringing them to their knees.
She used her beauty to seduce him and even though surrounded by his army she killed him.
Essentially she saves her people and becomes a hero.

Strong story behind a lovely name

I love Lenny/Leni and Ronnie too. Both names of great singers - Lenny Kuhr and Ronnie Spector (born Veronica Bennet).
You could also get Ronnie from the Hebrew name Ronit (meaning 'song').
You could squeeze Lenny or Leni out of Magdalene or Madeleine.

I also like Ray and Toni for girls (Toni is another singer's name).

How about unisex/surnamey names -
Marlowe
Hailey
Greer
Arden
Winter
Linden
Lowry
Tierney

I know a little Helena who goes by Leni (said like Lenny) and I adore it. Parents hadn't planned on it as a NN but she's such a little tomboy and it suits her down to the ground! I also prefer strong girls names. Personal faves are Bronwyn, Ronnie, Slex, Eddie, Robyn, Ryan, Reese

oh and how did I forget Andi! Its been one of my favourites for as long as I can remember but I'm really not keen on either Andrea or Miranda and not sure what else it could be short for.
