Default Stoney
Hi,

1. Does 'Stoney' refer to the old friend of the writer, the 'she' the writer has known since both of them were kids?

2. Is 'Stoney' a nickname of a girl? Is it common?


Thanks

Hi, Soup.

The one you provided says Stoney is a boy's name. Can Stoney be a girl's name?


Happy new year.
