For the girls: Why do girls prefer to be called by the masculine form of their name these days?

Question

Like Samantha wants to be called Sam, Danielle wants to be Dani, and so forth.
Do you girls think you need for others to perceive you as male in order to get ahead?
Doesn't having your e-mail addressed as "SamWatson" give the appearance that you are male?
Samantha is a beautiful feminine name, what gives?

Answer 1

Most people don't choose their own nicknames- you should ask the parents of children who have names like that, not the actually "owners" of the names.

Answer 2

Well, I'm not going by the masculine form of my name, but too many girls out there are conditioned by marxist feminism and since all the other girls are doing it they do it too. Too many girls are actually trying to impress the girls and not the guys even though they don't realize it. I mean, how often does a girl ask the guys in the group "how's my hair" or "what do you think of this dress?" If they did that they'd realize guys think being feminine is sexy and beautiful. My cousin fell into this trap and it was a shame, but her man got her using Veronica instead of Roni now so I think it is up the men to teach the girls to be feminine and girly!

Answer 3

How is Dani masculine? I've known many male Dan's, and a few female Dani's, but I've never heard of Dani as masculine. And Sam isn't necessarily male, it's just a shortened form. English doesn't usually have explicit male or female forms of names.

Answer 4

You're over thinking it. Those are just shorter versions. Sam is also short for Samuel and Dani is short for Daniel (which in Spanish is pronounced like Danielle) That's like saying that only men can shorten their names.

Answer 5

one million. This call isn't on my favourites record, even if that is really captivating. i love the actual undeniable actuality that it really is so female and has a astounding lilt to it. yet another actuality about Evelyn that i love is that it may age somewhat properly - it has the features of sounding very attractive and exquisite on a toddler or newborn, yet looks to exude sophistication and sophistication on an grownup. 2. i'd if there replaced right into a reason to. there is really no reason now to not use it, I in basic terms have many others previous to it on my favourites record. 3. No alterations or option spellings. something except Evelyn may in all likelihood look somewhat poor. in words of nicknames, i imagine Eve is unquestionably quite adaptable - it sounds cute on a gentle toddler with the prospect of creating use of "Evie" even as they're youthful. even if, an similar as Evelyn itself, Eve a even as properly and has a quiet sophistication to it, proper for youthful female. 4. Evelyn Violet, Evelyn Claire, Evelyn Paige and Evelyn Grace. 5. Indiana / Indianna, Claire or Tahlia. :)

Answer 6

Answer 7

I know! My name is Samantha and people love to call me that...I got my name from my father who's name was Sammy.... They probaby like it because it's short and cute to them...I didn't have a choice though!

Answer 8

Well, as a Teresa who answers to Terry, I just feel it is less formal. The only people using my full name are officials or my PO'd Mom.

Answer 9

It isn't about gender, it is just nice to be called by a shorter version of your name. It sounds more affectionate when someone gives you a nickname.

Answer 10

I would do it if I could on a resume, as long as they don't ask my gender, I think that might get my far sometimes, and the younger ladies think it is just cool
