Is Cameron shortened to Ronnie doable?

I know some people hate shortened names, but personally I prefer children to have a longer 'grown-up' name with an appropriate shortening for when they're younger. Elena to Ellie, Evelyn to Evie etc. I like both Cameron and Ronnie, but do you think they sound too dissimilar for it be used as a shortened version? I also like Flynn, but cannot think of a longer version. Opinions/preferences welcome please Smile

That's what I hoped Bowlersarm, but was checking as my friend had a baby called (for example, not actually name) Shannon Elizabeth and calls her Beth Confused which was a stretch too far in my opinion

Haha that's what my daughter shouts when she jumps into the swimming pool. Defintely not an option! Sad I missed that thread though.

I think it is doable, it's a part of the name so isn't a stretch too far.

Just don't go with Geronimo-shortened-to-Ronnie. That thread was a car crash.
