Male/Female Versions of Names? Suggestions?

Hi, so I know a lot of male names have female versions (ie Stephen=Stephanie, Daniel=Danielle, etc.).

But I couldn't think of any female equivalents to these, so I was wondering if there were any?

Also, if there aren't, can you think of any possibilities that *could* be? (they don't have to be good names you would actually name someone. Just for fun!)

Andrew

Benjamin

Ethan

Edward

Franklin

Gregory

Isaac

Jacob

Jasper

Mitchell

Nathaniel/Nathan

Richard

Timothy

Vincent

William

Zachary

Please give suggestions, if you can, or tell me the real female equivilant. Thanks and merry Christmas! :)

    I would say Andrew could be Andrea, Benjamin could be Bennie That's the only two i could see that would be converted into female names. How about Alexander could be Alexandra. Well sorry that's all i can think of right off the bat. Good luck and Merry Christmas to you as well.! :)
