No one should be calling a boy who's name is Michael "Mary" or "Ashley" those are girl names, Boys are not girls.
On the other hand, I don't care if a child has a preferred nickname.
Nicknames are different, I couldn't really care less if some friends want to call each-other nicknames (hell we did it back when I was in school) but trying to convince a boy that they're a girl is just wrong.

If the boy is asking to go by a typically feminine name, I don't give a shit. Nobody is trying to "convince" anyone of anything.

Who decides what is a boy's name or a girl's name is? You? How about you let people call themselves whatever they feel like being called? It's not for you or anyone else to decide, ever.
