When I was a kid, I was very confused by the names of Fleetwood Mac band members. It really threw me for a loop that they had a Lindsay who is a dude, and a Stevie who is a girl, both counter to my intuition about names.

Stevie is Stephanie which has always been very much a girl's name. Abbreviations have a tendency to collide.
