معنى اسم billy

Billie is a tomboy nickname name, part of the growing trend for using boyish nicknames for girls.
To track its path from blue to pink, Billie was 100% male in 1880, was 55% female just a decade later, in the girls’ Top 100 by 1928, and is now overwhelmingly female.
Billie is a possible retro choice for fans of jazz great Billie Holiday, born Eleanora, and a very contemporary choice for teen singer Billie Eilish — born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell. Other conceivable namesakes are The Wizard of Oz’s Glinda–Billie Burke (born Mary William), silent screen star Billie Dove (born Bertha), actresses Billie Whitelaw and Billie Piper (born Lianne) and tennis legend Billie Jean King (born Billie). Another cultural reference is the Michael Jackson hit song ‘Billie Jean.’
Billie was picked for their daughters by Carrie Fisher, My Name is Earl actor Ethan Suplee, and Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane.

No, not Billie Eilish. Billie Holiday was the first to come to my mind.

This name is so cute. It doesn’t fit in with my usual naming style, so I’d only use it as nickname.

My cousin recently named a roleplay character of her’s Billie, and I’m surprised by how appealing I find it. She has it short for Beatrice-Luna as opposed to any of the more normal long forms (Wilhelmina, Willa, Willow etc).

Billie was in the top 1000 names from 1900 to 1997 according to the United States social security giving it as long of a history for girls as Billy has for boys. To me nicknames like Billie, Sam, Alex, Joey, Dani, Jules ect can’t belong to just one gender because they come legitimately from both girls names and boys names. But that is just my two cents.

Is it bad I like this as it’s own name?

2015-11-13T20:45:57

I LOVE Billie as a nickname but I don’t think I would use it as a given name. I actually really like Billie as a nn for Willow.

2015-10-16T18:50:46

I’ve always HATED this on a girl. To me, it’s exclusively for boys.

2015-10-16T15:33:18

One of the few boyish nicknames I could ever see on a girl. Eddie and Roddy are a couple of others (Roddy due to the fact that one of my friends and a cousin call me this).

2015-07-15T12:36:23

Like Michael Jacksons song!!!

2015-05-07T16:13:16

I like this name but LOATHE Wilhelmina. I’d use Billie as a nickname for Belinda.

2015-02-07T06:50:27

I heard that Billie was short for Abigail. My baby cousin was born today and her name is Abigail and I heard Billie is short for Abigail and I love the name Billie for a girl and I think it will be a super cute nickname

2014-11-12T01:32:57

Love this name and the meaning. I’m going to name my future daughter Billie with the middle name Jean after my grandmother.
