What are some girls names that cane be shortened to sound like boys names?

I'm writing a story and I'm having trouble with the name of one of my characters. She's a girl, and has a nickname that when people who don't know overhear, they think a boy is being referred too.





Other than Alexandra being shortened to Alex, are there any girls names that can be shortened to sound like boys names?

Reply:I started calling my 2nd daughter "little bobbie" when she was in my tummy. My oldest daughter could not say "little baby" it came out "little bobbie" she has been bobbie ever since. Her real name is Kallie, but I have got used to saying bobbie, then after a while it went to BOB. When we are at the store people look and some may even ask why would you name her BOB.
