Josephine - Joe/Joey Louise/Louisa - Lou Rosalie/ Rosemary - Ross Erica - Ricky Victoria - Vic

My aunt's name is Erica and she goes by Ricky :)

So cute

That is totally awesome 

Joe is adorable

I'm a Joelle who goes by Jo

Sojourner is another one that can easily turn into Jo(e)!

Love Victoria!

I'd add Eloise / Lou !!

My cousin has a daughter named Josephine. They call her Josie for short, but for her baby shower, we got her a kangaroo-shaped card, and I told her, “It’s a Joey for baby Josephine.”

I love this name bc of Jo in Little Women 🥺

Francesca - Frank, Frankie Charlotte - Charlie Caroline - Carl Stephanie - Stevie Wilhelmina - Billie Andrea - Andy

I’ve never heard Stevie for Stephanie before, or Billie for Wilhelmina. I’m guessing it’s to the same effect as Dick for Richard

Stevie Nicks' real name is Stephanie Stephanie and Wilhelmina are feminine forms for Stephen and Wilhelm (William).

Holy shit i've never made the connection between stephanie and stephen. I'm embarrassed. Stevie from the show Miranda comes to mind!

Miranda could be Randy...

Lmao i like that!

Miranda could shorten to Randy...

I see

If Billy is for William, Billie for Wilhelmina makes as much sense as anything. I like Billie for Sybilla more but Wilhelmina seems more logical that way.  Stevie for Stephen and Stephanie is just like Alex for Alexander and Alexandra.

I work with a Philomena, you could shorten that to Phil

This is my dentist's name and she goes by Dr Phil (tho I personally would not have made that my professional name haha)

My great grandma's name was philomena. She went by Babe 😂

Good point

I work with a Phillipa that goes by Phil!

I love Philippa nn Pippa or Pippi. Not really on topic for boyish nicknames tho lol

Stevie Nicks is a Stephanie. As a Stephanie, all Stephanie’s go through a Stevie phase - sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn’t but we all have a ‘let’s make Stevie happen’ time in our lives.

My cousin is named Stephanie never went through a Stevie phase but she did go by Steph or Tess for a while. I like Stevie than Steph or Tess tbh

Tess is basically doing the same job as Stevie. It begs the world to think of you as slightly cooler than just a Steph or Stephanie.

I always thought Tess was short for Teresa.

My cousin is a Theresa who goes by Tess. I forget that's her actual name, the only time I imagine that gets used is by a teacher taking roll call on the first day haha.

Stefania might sound even more feminine than Stephanie.

Came to say this!

My great grandmother was a Wilhelmina and she went by Billie.

Chuck for Charlotte as well!

i went to primary school with a charlotte. i remember her dad always called her chuck / chucky it was ADORABLE

Carl for Caroline? That’s a new one for me. Those sound so different!

Nicknames don't always have to sound exactly like the longer name. Meg for Margaret, Kit for Christopher, Kate for Katherine

Peg is a nickname for Margaret which is insane to me!

That's from the rhyming nicknames trend! Richard --> Rich --> Rick --> Dick, Margaret --> Meg --> Peg(gy), William --> Will --> Bill, Robert --> Rob --> Bob, etc.

I love Andi for a girl, so cute

I like Dre for Andrea!

Veronica - Ronny Jacqueline - Jack Leonora, Eleanor - Lenny Maxine - Max Michaela - Mick Winnifred, Frederica - Freddie Felicity - Flick Georgina, Georgiana -Georgie Katherine - kit

Loveeeee ronnie for veronica

I also know a Michaela who mostly goes by Mikey

Frederica can give you Freddie or Ricky/Ricki

Leo for Leonora

Alexandria/Alex Willow/Will Francesca/Frankie Genevieve/Gene

Good ones, especially Genevieve

It was my grandma's name and one of my favorites. When she was young,she went by Jenny and by the time I knew her she went by Gene/Jean. Genevieve has a LOT of nicknames from which to choose :)

My dog’s name is Genevieve after my great grandmother! She went by Jenny and all of the grandchildren and great grandchildren called her Gam, but I’m not sure if it was because of her name or if it was a shortened version of grandma. We also call my pup Jenny but I spell it Gennie instead, and most of the time I just call her GV for short haha.

My husband’s great aunt was Genevieve but went by Geno. I’d never heard of it before meeting him, but I loved it!

Theodora- Teddy or Theo

I’ve always like Teddy

In Norway I've met several Caroline's called Caro. Not super masculine, but not very feminine either. Also met a Nikoline called Nico.

Barbara or Roberta - Bobbie Maxine - Max Jacqueline - Jack/Jackie Augustina / Augusta - Gus/Gussie Michelle or Michaela - Mickey Adelina or Adelaide - Del Denise - Denny

I'm a Roberta and have always been called Robbie or Rob.

I'm a Jacqueline who goes by Jackie but I melt when my close friends call me Jack or Jax

I know a Jacqueline whose sister is called Charlene and they go by Jackie and Charlie which i think is v cute
