I love it - and the numerous nicknames, dare I mention, Timmy?

I love Timmy as a nickname! I'm really fond of "boyish" nicknames for female names, e.g. Eddy (Edeline / Edwina), Thom (Thomasin / Thomasina), Theo (Theodora / Theodosia / Theolinda), Bill (Wilhelmina / Sibilla).

And how I could I forget Fred (Frederica / Frederuna / Frederonne / Winifred) and George (Georgiana et al.)?

Tim / Timmy for a girl reminds me of Kim / Kimmy.

I love that too; I remember the first time I met a female Charlie - my knees buckled....
