Girls' names with boyish shortenings

[Elbi]

I've always liked girls' names that have a boy-style nickname. Not sure why, just sounds cute to me. Like Roberta could be Bertie or Bobby... but I'm not all that keen on Roberta itself. Anyone have any suggestions? Samantha/Sam and Charlotte/Charlie were popular in my age group (80s-born!) so I probably wouldn't choose those but any more unusual ideas very welcome. Thank you

I love Aurora with nn Rory!

Francesca - Frankie

Georgina, benjamina, Alexandra?

Michaela or Mikhsla
I used to know a Kendra who got called Kenny, she carried it off as she was super cool.

Harriet - Harry
Danielle - Danny
Christina - Chris

Antonia - Toni
Charlotte - Charlie
Stephanie - Stevie

Thomasina / Tommy

I'm a Sam / Samantha and I love having the option of a proper or a fun name

How about Marlene, shortened to Lenny?

Davina - Dave? Perhaps not...

I love Josephine shortened to Jo but Stevie is my favourite of this kind of girls name. Could be shortened from Stephanie.

Frances... Frank.

I'm a Baileigh and spent most of college being called Leigh.

Wilhemina - Billie or Will

Frederica - Freddie

Edwina - Eddie

Charlotte to Charlie
Jacqueline to Jackie
Shauna to Seany
Frances to Fran

Alexandra - Alex, Ali, Xan, Zan
Christina - Chris, Christy, Kit
Theodora - Ted, Teddy, Theo
Francesca - Frankie, Fran
Georgina - George
Harriet - Harri/Harry
Henrietta - Henri/Henry
Josephine - Joey
Julia/Juliana/Juliet - Jules
Catherine/Katherine - Kit
Frederica/Winifred - Freddie
Louisa - Louie
Matilda - Matt, Mattie
Olivia - Ollie/Olly/Oli
Wilhelmina - Will, Billie
Leonora/Leona - Leo
Judith - Jude
Augusta - Gus
Veronica - Ronnie
Natalia - Nat
Maxima, Maxine - Max
Eleanor - Lenny
Cordelia - Corey
Philippa - Pip

I love Benita nn Bennie

Also like Francesca "Frankie", Aurora "Rory", Wilhelmina "Winnie" (I know Winnie is female in the UK, but my great uncle was Winnie although I'm not sure it was his full name) or "Billie" and Edwina or Edina "Eddie" that have been previously mentioned

I also love Winifred "Freddie", Benita "Bennie", Magdalena/Elena/Lena "Lenny/Leni", Charlotte or Ottilie "Otti" or "Otto".

I know a Freda (Fred-a) which I think has just the right amount of boyishness to be very cool.

Oh just thought of Leonora / Leonie / Leonor "Leo / Lenny"

Percephone: Percy

Jess for Jessica

Alexandra (Alex)
Danielle (Dani)
Frances/Francesca (Frankie)
Joanna (Jo)
Harriet (Harry).

I once knew a Vanessa who was known as Vinny. Would also work for Davina.

Really lovely suggestions, thank you.

So far Aurora/Rory, Winifred/Freddie and Leonora/Leo are definitely going on the list!

Kinda love Persephone/Percy too but we have a P surname...

Andrea or similar - Andy

Leonora and Aurora were my suggestions and they're also on my (very hypothetical atm) list too.

Lovely names and I love the boyish shortenings too.
