I really like Joseph, Hugo, Samuel, Francis, Tobias, Benedict, Thomas

Buuuuuuut I Loathe Joe, Hugh, Sam, Frank, Toby, Ben, Tom !!

Would reeeeeeeally appreciate any suggestions for names like these, that can't be shortened.
So I don't have to spend my life correcting other people!

Baby is due any time, am becoming a bit demented with it all !

Thank you :)

We have a Connor which I can't really see it being shortened

Con doesn't really roll off the tongue does it?

However whilst young you can insist full name with your son.
But when he gets to school, no matter what the name, his friends could come up with a nickname. Might not even have anything to do with his name!
