Both our DC have very short names 3-4 letters, I fancy something a bit longer this time,but I know we'll end up shortening it,or lengthining it into a sing song silly NN,as we have with our other two Grin

I like Oisin & Reuben the most in that order.
Why do you have to have a nickname? I'm not a fan of shortening already short names for the sake of it tbh. My name is 5 letters, you can't really get much shorter Smile
