Roddy? Shortened to Ro?

Due in August with DS2.
I really like the nick name Ro and am wondering what I could call DS that could legitimately be shortened to that. (I don't want to just call him Ro officially).

I really like rare names though, so I'm thinking Roman and Rowan are too common.
And really it wants to be a traditional English name to fit with his three brothers.

What do you think of Roddy? And could I get away with calling him Ro?

It's not my cup of tea but it seems odd to me having a nickname for a name that's a nickname in itself. How about Roderick?
