Another trend in baby naming (see Pt.1) that I'm getting way out in front of right now is the Double-Girly-Reverse. This is when you take the feminizing suffixes that are used to turn boy names into girl names, and you apply that feminizing suffix to a name that is already female:
Examples:
Michelleia.
Jenniferette.
Theresaline.
Gertrudelle.
Yvonnica.
Lindanique.
Ah, but why is it called the Double-Girly-Reverse? It's called that, because the resulting baby name should then work for a boy. In much the same way as a grammatical double-negative flips the meaning back to a positive, or how two wrongs make a right: basic math.
Now, don't be confused by such nonsense options as taking a male name, adding the feminizing suffix, and then slapping a masculinating suffix on the back of that. That just doesn't work, syntactically. From a sense perspective, it's nonsense - the resulting name would be fit for no child of either sex:
Alexandraer?
Come on.

I get it. By doubling the femininity you get masculinity because the boy gets twice the beatings. A boy named Suelle, who, if he survives, would be bad ass times two, but unfortunately completely socially maladjusted.
Three adverbs worth, really.
I kinda like Yvonnica.
Maybe a bit too Adam Sandlerish.
No, I still like it.
You just took the implication to the next level, yo.
