Boys names on girls... Ideas please!

[charlie1234567]

I'm a Charlie and have always loved it, but am trying to think of others in case we have a girl....

Ideas so far
Robyn
Mikaela (Mikky)
Andrea (Andy)
Francesca (Frances)
Rory

Any others please help, I'm a teacher so I need a big list as have bad connotations with a few already 😄

Winifred (Freddy).

If DS1 was a girl, he would have been called Dylan. Prefer the sound of it for a girl rather than a boy for some reason.

Also have always loved Stevie (Stephanie).

Alex. Andi (Alexandra)
Leigh
Jay
Harri (Harriet)
Jaime
Tommi (Thomasina)
Dani (Danielle)
George (Georgina)
Frankie (Frances Francesca)
Freddie (Winifred)
Bernie (Bernadette)

Bobbie and Billie

Stevie or Jaime - or George as a shortening of Georgina? Also like Frankie and Billie.

Ryan or James

Kiran

Drew

I know two boys (men) named Tracey and one called Gill (not short for anything apparently!)

I like Peta for a girl

Why do you want a boys name for a girl?

Would you call a boy a girls name?

Tracey was iriginally a male name.

Not sure about Gill- the only one I ever met was Gil, short for Gilbert, but he kept the -bert bit very quiet!

The fact remains- nobody would
ever start a thread about liking lovely feminine names for boys and be flooded with responses suggesting Susan and Rose and Verity.

Francesca and Frances are both girls' names, though. Do you mean Francis, which is a boy's name? But it's pronounced differently.

I have a Bertie short for Beatrice. I love it. She's more Bertie now. It really suits her. I've always liked boys names on girls there really isn't an issue. I have a son too with quite a flouncy name I suppose. I can't imagine my daughter ever feeling we wished we'd had a boy instead. That's just odd. My name which is more traditionally a girls name is also quite often a boys name too.

I know someone with a daughter Noa

I work with a beautiful Freddi (Frederica), I love Teddie and Harry/Harrie, Loui, know a little girl Reggie, generally really like boys names for girls. I too have a boys name which I’ve always loved!
For those asking ‘why would you give your daughter a boys name?’, she literally wrote the explanation out for you.

For those asking why the OP would want to do this she says she is a Charlie and has always loved it.....surely that answers your question?
Some really good suggestions on here OP, haven't got any to add, but looking for a girl's name myself too!

know a little girl Reggie

Poor little girl. It's bad enough on a boy.

Gabrielle is a nice boys name for girls. It's very classy and never gets old.

Gabrielle is not a boy's name.

I like the first four, though the girl's version is Andie...like the actress Andie McDowall. Andie is really cute.
Please, please not Rory. It will look like you didn't know it was a boys' name. All your other names are girls' names with a more tomboyish shortening but Rory is just incorrect on a girl. I actually don't mind extreme boy names like James or George for girls but that's because they are so obviously a strong choice not a confused mistake.

Alexandra is another name you could shorten to Andie or Alex obviously

Veronica nn Ronnie

I also recently met a Beatrix who went by Buzz which i though was cute and clever (usually shortened to Bee - bee's buzz)

I know a female Rory, short for Aurora. I like it!

I love unisex or ‘boys names on girls’
Girls I’ve met and just loved their names:
Finley
Andi
Stevie
Bobbi
Drew
Parker
Tate
Blair
Rory

Bobbie
Rowen

Gabrielle is not a boys name

Tell my Male neighbour that! He's shortened to Gabby.

And why when people suggest Jamie for a girl do they suggest spelling it differently. It's fine as Jamie and many remained spell it that way.
