[Opinions] I don't mind masculine nns for girls (m)
As it still gives the girl a choice and she can revert back to her full name or adopt a more feminine nickname if she wishes.For example Charlotte nn Charlie can go by Charlotte or Lottie if she wishes but a female who was just Charlie doesn't have that option. Though there are some masculine nns I don't like on girls (Charlie is one, and Evan for Evangeline and others) it's better IMO than an Aidan, Ryan or Tristan. I also don't mind the reverse, a feminine nn for a boy, like Francis nn Fran.I like:Josephine nn Joey
Alberta nn Bertie
Harriet nn Harrie
Matilda nn Mattie
Theodora nn Theo, Teddie
