I'm working on a story and I need your help. What are your favorite feminizations of traditionally masculine names, i.e. Josephine for Joseph?

Besides Josephine, I like Charlotte and Thomasina. Thomasina/Thomasine can have the nn Tamsin.

Josephine
Stephanie
Georgiana
Vincenza
Clemence (from Clement)
Jacqueline
Daniela
Gabriela
Nicole
Justine
Henrietta
Leona
Francine
Alexandra/Alexandria
Michaela (this spelling only)

For boyish nicknames, you could use Jo, Stevie, George/Georgie, Vinnie, Clem, Jack(ie), Mike, Alex, Frankie, etc.

Theodora
Rowena
Frances

Not sure if these all apply...

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

Theodora (nn Thora) is one of my favorite names!

Rowena is great but it's so linked in my brain to Harry Potter.

Thank you!

I actually kind of like Roberta, with Bertie as a nickname.

Or Rob/Robbie!

Claudine is actually a name I'm considering for a character in a story I'm writing right now. I kinda like it :)

I was going to suggest Claudine too. :) It was one of my favorite names when I was a kid for some reason.
