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
BertieHarriet nn Harrie
Matilda nn
MattieTheodora nn
Theo, Teddie
