Guessing Game

Thought this would make a fun thread and maybe also provide names for people that are choosing that they wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

Think of a name (your child's or any name really) and provide 3 clues.

Other posters have to guess the name and once someone gets it right, it's their turn!

I'll start:

2 syllables

Very definitely a boys name but there is a feminine version

2 very common abbreviations/nicknames

Oh yay! OK:

Shakespearean name
Her name is a good one (almost!) on which to reflect.
A possible nickname is a popular male name in the US but may be deemed unsuitable in Britain.
