[Opinions] Re: Pick a longer more elaborate feminine girls' full name for these unisex nicknames
Andie - Adrian, Adrienne, Andromache, Coriander
Charlie - Carlota, Charles, Charlemagne, Charo
Scottie - Scotia
Billie - Wilhelmina, Willow, Wilmer, Wilmot
Bobbie - Roberta, Babette (I love "Bob" as an affectionate term for a Babette, so Bobbie via Bob)
Frankie - Frances/Francis, Franklin, Francine
Sam - Samara, Samira, Samwise, Samson. I love the names Sam and Sammie/Sammy but haaaaaate Samuel and Samantha.
Rikki - Ohh, this is one I've thought of a lot, because "Ricky" is the name my husband and I gave our non-existent hypothetical child (as a joke. I don't know why Ricky or how it started). So one day I thought "what name would I use for a little Ricky?". I love Ricardo and Richard, Enrique, Patrick, Pericles, Warrick, Merrick, Theodoric, Federico and Fredrick, Alaric, Cedric, Emmeric, Wulfric, Edric, Maverick and Jericho for boys, and Veronica, Maverick, Aurica, Viorica, Frederica, Ulrika, Zorica, Elarica, Jerrica, and GP Lyrical for girls.
Johnnie - Johanna, Jonquil, John
Jo / Joie - Is that Joy or Joey? Jocasta, Joan, Jocosa, Jolene, Jonah
Lou / Louie - Louisa, Eloise, Lucille, Lucinda, Louanna, Louis.
Jess / Jessie / Jesse - Jessamine, Jessabel
Art / Artie - Artemisia, Arthur
Alex - Alexandrine, Alexios

Pat - Patrice, Patricia
Teddie -Theodora, Edwina, Edward
