Wonder if it is the same guy I current work with, Olivetta! His name is Bernice (pronounced the way you have it) but he goes by his middle name, Grady. But we tease him with the feminine pronounciation of his first name, sometimes. His last name is very French, so maybe that name is common in that nationality.
screech -- I know of several guys named Dana -- in fact, more than I know girls of that name, now that I think of it...
I have an Uncle Francis -- although I always used to get the whole "Francis/Frances" thing mixed up (which spelling you used for female and which for male)

There's a science fiction writer of some note named Kim Stanley Robinson, though his fellow writers seem to call him Stan Robinson.
I'm not 100% on this, but with guys, Kim is just Kim. With girls, it's often short for Kimberly, though I used to tease a girl in my sixth grade class by calling her Kimothy.

I know that Carol is another version of Carl and Charles. Charlemagne is the root for all the Carl's, Karl's, Carol's, Carolina's, Charles', Karol's.
