Reverse name game

austenreader85

Choose your favorite name for a boy and make it feminine.  If no legitimate version exists you can always use a name with the same meaning or add a "y" or get kr8tive.  Same for a girl.

Boy:  William Samuel becomes Wilhelmina Samantha or maybe Willa Samantha.

Girl:  Margaret Marianne becomes Pearl Marion.

More proof that the name thing only works one way, IMO.  Pearl and Marion are legit names for boys but darn if they don't sound waaaay too feminine.  But it seems the world has no problem taking a boy name on a girl (not clearly illustrated in my example though).

Boy: Oliver James --->Olivia Gemma

Girl: Felicity Susan ---> Felix Seamus

 

My first choice first names were really easy but I struggled with middle names!  I think they're both sort of stretching it.

Boy: Owen Michael --> Edwina Michelle

 

DS: Carter Allen --> Carrie Ellen

MrsTBird

DS: Rhys James = Reese Jaye (feminine version of James)

Boy: Liam Albert = Willa Albertine

The girl name was much harder so I settled for a similar sounding name.

Audrey Nicole -> Aubrey Nicholas (since Aubrey was originally a boy's name..)

Serena Claire -> Soren Claude

Everett Louis -> Eva Louise

Brennan David -> Brenna Danielle (close enough?)

alohamora

Hugh Everett - Helena Evelyn (I know this is a huge stretch, but I couldn't think of anything for Hugh!)

Clara June - Clarence Juno

kaylynne

Frederick Charles ----> Frederica Charlotte

Lenora Jane ----> Leonard John

My other female choice is Sarah Michaela, but I have no idea how to get Sarah to something masculine (it means lady or princess... so I guess I could use something that means prince?)  Brendan Michael?

Current boy name obsession: Henry Faust --> Harriet Felice* with Felice/Faust being similar in meaning (lucky/good luck). 

*I prefer Felicity, but don't think it sounds as good with Harriet.

My husband wants to add Barnaby Faust --> Bernadette Felicia

 Current girl name obsession: Dagny Freya --> Dagon Freyr with Freyr not being too much of a stretch since Freya and Freyr are basically the male/female equivalents of each other.
