I know that most names can be shortened however, some names have much more obvious / common shortened versions than others.
For example, popular ones include Daniel (Dan), Thomas (Tom) and Samuel (Sam).

I'm looking for suggestions on 2 syllable boys names that can't be shortened (or at least have less obvious shortenings). For example, Leon, Caleb and Niall.

Any suggestions please???? Thank you!!

No name is completely immune to modification. Best to just choose a name you like and call him that name.

Most names can be shortened, and, as has been said, they'll be lengthened if you can't. Lee, Cay (Cale) and Ni.

David becomes Dave and Brian becomes Bri. (Family names)

On a related note. Mil HATES names being shortened. So she called bil Stephen because she 'knew people wouldn't be able to shorten it as it has ph in the middle rather than v'.

Everything of bil's from his email to his business cards say 'Steve'.

The morale of the story, people will find a way to shorten anything. Probs best to pick a name that you least dislike the shortening of.
