I have such as soft spot for feminine nicknames on boys, my Mothers always like "he'll be made fun of" but I doubt many 3 year olds would have any reference point for the name Connie let alone to deem it too feminine. I love Conrad "Connie" and Julian "Jules". I also love Marius, but my name is Mary, so not with that nickname. Some are more unisex than others: Laurence - Laurie
Winston - Winnie
Alexander - Sasha / Sandy
Connor - Connie
Dominic - Minnie / Nicki
Adam - Addie
Patrick - Patti
Elliot - Ellie
Emmett / Emerson - Em / Emmie
Jonah / Jonas - Joni
Isaac / Isaiah / Isidore - Izzy
Christopher - Christy

Wow, how did I forget Fran and Clare and Laurie? I like those.They could also be short for Clarenbald / Clarus or Laurentin / Laurentius or Francesco / Francisco.

Jules still sounds masculine, I think Julie or Juley would make more sense here. Alexander "Allie"
Alessandro "Sandy"
Evander "Eve/Evie"
Cassius "Cassie"
Lucian/Lucius "Lucy/Lulu"
Leander "Lea"
Cecilio "Cece"
Madoc/Maddox "Maddy"
Christopher "Chrissy"
George "Georgie"
John/Jack/Jackson "Jackie" (or is that already unisex?)
Joseph "Josie"

Cassius, Cassian, Cassio, CassanderCass, CassieI don't think of all of those as fem, but I think to some people they can sound that way.And I don't like Josiah much, but I could see a Josiah being called Josie. And I guess a Sullivan could be "Liv".

Yeah, me neither. I think it's likely to remind people of Sally, though.
