I met a Hank yesterday. She was very nice.




(I have never known Hank to be a girl's name. Was this a kr8tv name or is it some tradition I don't know about?)

I have heard Hank as a feminine nickname for Henrietta.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

I was going to say also, it could be a nn for Henrietta or Henriette.

like Chuck for Charlotte

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

I've never heard o f either of those. Interesting.

And Frank for Francesca.

NO! Hank and Chuck are NOT girls' names! Even as nicknames. That is just ~so~ wrong!

I love Charlie for Charles or Charlotte. I don't like Chuck for either though :(

Hank could be short for Henrietta (there was a character in a book I once read with this name who went by Hank)

[mynamewastaken.livejournal.com]

It's short form for Henrietta. We had a neighbour named that when I was younger (well she either went by Hank or Henny depending who was talking to her)

Ugh, hope that's a nickname or something.
Not that that would be any better- horrible nickname, way too masculine.
