Anthony is feminized as "Antonia", William as Wilhelmina (William is the anglicized version of Wilhelm). and you've missed some obvious ones: Daniel as Daniella; Rene as Renee; Noel as Noelle; Charles as Charlotte.

Daniel is in Female Versions of Male Names #1. Antonia is the feminine version of Antonio (which I noted in #1 before I had split the quiz into two parts). I didn't include names like Antonio (Greek, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Maltese), Rene(e) and Noel(le) (French), or Wilhelm(ina) (German) because there are a nearly infinite number of languages, and I can't include them all. Even including all of the European languages would be an enormous task. I chose to include only English names to keep the scope reasonable.

With further regard to Noel and Rene, nearly all French male names can be made feminine by adding an e to the end. There would be too many French names to add, and the answers would be too obvious to warrant a quiz.

Would be nice to allow Antonia and Charlotte since both are very common names.

Charlotte is in Female Versions of Male Names #1. I've explained that Antonia is the feminine of Antonio, not Anthony.

Antonia is the female form of Antonio and of Anthony, just as Patricia is the female form of Patricio. "Tonya" is a diminutive of Antonia, so I'm not sure why we should accept one and not the other - and while I've only ever even heard of one Tonya (of the Harding variety) I've come across several Antonias, both the well-known ones and ones I've met myself, so it seems that the standard equivalent of Anthony is indeed Antonia.

Another one which struck me is Martina - perhaps a type-in for Martine? I know a Martine myself, and there's the odd famous Martine (such as McCutcheon), but the only famous Martinas I can think of are of foreign extraction, and I've never met one personally.

Wilhelmina ("Minnie") also - I've known two or three of these - never come across a Wilma other than the Flintstones.

Lastly - John - needs a few type-ins, including Jean, Jane, Joanne and Joanna.

Nice quiz though, thank you, bit of a thankless one as some of these names have so many equivalents!

I'm going by Wikipedia.

"Antónia is a Hungarian, Portuguese, and Slovak feminine form of Anton, Antal and António used in Hungary, Slovakia, Portugal, Brazil, Namibia, South Africa, Angola and Mozambique as well as parts of Romania. Antônia is a Portuguese feminine form of Antônio used in Portugal, Brazil, Namibia, South Africa, Angola and Mozambique. Antonía is an Icelandic feminine form of Antonie used in Iceland. Antonia (Greek: Αντωνία) is the feminine form of Antonios (Αντώνιος) and Antonis (Αντώνης) used mainly in Greece and Cyprus."

Feminine of Anton, Antal, Antonio, Antonie, Antonios, and Antonis. No mention of Antonia being the feminine form of Anthony.

I've known a couple of people named Martina. I haven't met a Martine yet, but I'll accept it as a type-in.

Joanne and Joanna are already accepted because they start with "Joan"! I think Jean used to be accepted and got lost when I split the quiz into two quizzes once I got to 50+ names. Jean is accepted again.

Duh yes, thank you! Wikipedia also doesn't mention Tonya being a feminine version of Anthony...

Indeed, many of the names in this quiz aren't the feminine version of the male name, but are a similar-sounding feminine name in the English language. Tonya was the best I could do for an English feminine equivalent of Anthony.

I really enjoyed this, well done. Could you accept "Antonia" as well as "Tonya", know several Antonias. Many thanks

That's been requested before. Antonia is the feminine version of Antonio, which is a Spanish/Italian/Portuguese/Croatian version of Anthony. I decided not to include every language's version of each name for practical reasons.

Could you accept Simona for Simon?

Simona appears to be the feminine version of Simone in languages where Simone is masculine. I couldn't find any examples of a well-known person named Simona from an English-speaking country.
