About this list
Boyish nicknames for baby girls are having another moment in the sun, with names like Stevie, Scottie, Frankie, and Billie among the trendiest around for baby girls.
These nicknames might be short for something -- we know a young Leonora called Leo, for instance, and a Francesca called Frankie -- but most stylishly they go straight on the birth certificate.
Boyish nicknames were popular for girls at the end of the 19th century. Mattie, Jessie, Willie, and Ollie were all among the Top 100 girl names of 1890.
The 1960s and 70s saw another wave of baby girls with boyish nicknames like Jamie, Teri, Geri, Casey, and Chris.
The boyish nicknames most stylish today include Billie as in Eilish, Stevie as in Nicks, Scout and Scottie, Charlie and Charlee, Leni and Lou. Teddie, Tommie, and Georgie are coming up on their heels.
Spelling might end with ie or i, or can revert to the y ending usually used for boys.
