In my family, we have a tradition where we name our girls a boy's name, ending in an "i"... for example: Stevi, Dani, Toni, Bobbi, Randi...
I'm having a hard time finding one that I like. Some of the names aren't exactly boy names but they end in "i" anyway (Stormi, Sunni, Roxi, Vicki...)
Anyone out there have a creative name that ends in "i"?

We have a Caysi... Andi is cute though

I grew up with a girl named Roni (pronounced Ronnie). Her full name was Veronica. I also know of a girl named Henrietta, but she goes by Henri.
I've always been a fan of Jamie, but it's unisex, so I don't know if that counts. You could spell it with just an "i" on the end.
Traditions are made to be broken. Somewhere someone wants to, but noone wants to be the first!
Anyhow, I REALLY prefer boyish nn's with the option of having a more formal name for when that tomboy turns out to be a ballerina. But these are the nn's I like for girls to give you some ideas (and I am not a fan of the I ending):
Charli, Carli, Andi, Bobbi, Georgi, Micki, Franki,
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

I knew a boy and girl Levi

BFP 11/6/09. Rory Anne Born 6/28/10!
I knew a girl named after her dad Scott but they spelled it ending in an IE (Scottie).
I really don't like this tradition - both the boy name for a girl and the "i" at the end (it looks really unfinished to me). But if you must:
Name her Charlotte and call her Charli
Name her Averi
Name her Emerson and call her Emmi
Name her Theodora and call her Teddi
But PLEASE don't name a little girl Randi or Tomi or Bobbi as a full first name. If you end up with a young woman who is girly and frilly she will want options. Options are really really important IMO.
Angel Baby: 5/29/08
My mother is Toni (full first name)
My aunt is Randi (full first name) and VERY feminine
and Randi's daughter Bobbi (full first name) is little diva!
Just so you know, it's a boy.... but thanks a lot for your wonderful opinion (not that I asked...)
