This is what I get called, since my name is Jacqueline. I think it is a wonderful name. I have only had it misspelled two ways (Jacquie and Jacky). I think this is a really good name. For one thing, it suits adults as well as children, males as well as females. And also when used on a female, it is good for a lady/girly girl as well as hoyden/tomboy (I fit the latter description, and it suits me perfectly).
My name is Jacqueline, but everyone calls me Jackie. I really like it, and everyone who meets me says that they love it. I think it is a great name for girls, but I don't really like it as a boy name - it just sounds too feminine.

The baseball player Jackie Robinson is a famous bearer.
In my opinion, Jackie doesn't sound like a good name or nickname for girl, but I do think it sounds like a nice name or nickname for a boy.

A famous bearer of this name is British-born novelist Jackie Collins (born 4 October 1937), author of over twenty-five, including "The Stud", "Chances", "Hollywood Wives", "Lucky", and "Drop Dead Beautiful".
I really dislike my given name (it's so boring, don't you know?), so I go by Jackie instead. It suits me quite well, but, you know, you'd have to be careful, not everybody is as unconventional as I, and some people hate the name.
