Help[Opinions] Boys names with girly nicknames.
There are lots of feminine names with unisex or masculine nicknames (Sam, Kit, Charlie, Lou), but I've been wondering about the opposite, which I find rather cute as well. Can you think of girl names that can be used as short form of a masculine name?
Just for fun:
Abby - Abraham
Addy - Adam
Aggy - Augustine
Ally - Alexander, Alistair, Albert
Ani, Annie - Anthony, Andrew
Becky - Beckett
Cady - Cade, Cadoc, Caden
Cammy - Cameron, Camden
Cassie - Cassius
Callie - Carl, Calum
Cayley, Kayley - Caleb
Christie - Christopher, Christian
Connie - Conor, Conan
Dolly - Adolphus, Rudolph
Effie - Ephraim
Ellie - Eliot, Elias
Elsie - Ellison
Emmy - Emmanuel, Emmett, Emery, Emil
Eva - Evander, Evan
Flor - Florian
Gracie - Grayson, Gratian
Ginny - Eugene
Hallie - Henry, Harold
Hetty - Hector

Maddy - Maddox, Madoc
Maisie - Mason
May - Maynard
Marcy - Marcel
Mika - Michael
Miley - Miles

Ooo I really like the idea of Peg as a NN for Peregrine! I prefer Tory on a boy and I've also always like the idea of Ali as a nn for Alistair (or Alaric) and Addy/Atty as a nn for Addison/Atticus. Cassie is nice too thought I still prefer just Cass or Cash as a nn for Cassius
There's also
Mandy - Armand / Armando, Mandel (Mandy Patinkin pulls it off)
Liv - Oliver
Pip - Philip (though Pip isn't so inherently feminine)
Lory, Laurie - Loren / Lorenzo, Laurence
Bertie - Robert
Polly - Pollux
Tammy - Rostam
Carly - Carl
Mary - Marius
Dory - Theodore
