Hey, I have a character I need some help naming. She's somewhat the stereotypical girl pretending to be a boy and is a medieval squire, and I'm having trouble finding a very medieval female name that can easily be reshaped into a boy's name. Like: Brianna/Brian, Christine/Christopher, Kylene/Kyle (though those are out for reasons I really can't explain).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

~Vee
Where are we going?

Hayden goes either way

Ashe/Ashley

Jack/Jackie

Christopher/Christy

Jordan goes either way too

You could also look for a name generator and then make your own deviation to go whichever way. Like if you foud a really good boy name, you could make a feminine version. Good luck.

babynames.com

They have a lot of unisex names that can go either way, and since they have all kinds of ethnic names, you can add a little originality to your story. :D

hmm.... lemme see...

Martha/Matthew

Katharine/Christopher

But I used the baby-names site to get quite a few of my own names.
Is Pat Buchanan the answer to everything in your life? If so, put "Pat Buchanan" in your signature.

If you wanna get fun and have names that mean something...

You could even look up Old English Names there.

Hope this helps,
