Cool boys nicknames

Hi
Our baby boy is a few days old but still nameless. I think he's pretty cool, as do his siblings, so would love to give him a cool name with a longer formal name.

So far have thought of Ace (Wallace or Horace), Rocky (Rocco or Rockwell). Still not totally in love with either so any suggestions welcome!

I like initials for boys. Usually something then J : AJ, DJ, LJ etc. Does that work?

I also like Ace but don't like either of your longer names, what about Asa with Ace for short?

X posts about Kit. I've never met one though !

Ike/Isaac

BikeRunSki · 19/11/2016 20:20

Chas/Charles
Kit/Christopher
Lex/Alexander
Jay/James, Jason or anything else that begins with J.

I love Indie for a nickname. So Indiana or Indio.

Give him a proper name and let his mates decide his nickname when he starts school. Why would you try to decide your child's nickname at this stage? Confused

No more Kits! They're everywhere.

Strokethefurrywall · 19/11/2016 20:11

I have a Sullivan nn Sully or Van - he seems to like it!

I like the suggestion of Arthur shortened to Art.

Baby Art sounds great and I can imagine it suiting a teen and a man too.

DH is a 34 year old Christopher/Kit. It was horribly unpopular when he was a kid!

Pyrrha · 19/11/2016 20:04

I like Kit for Christopher too

Curve · 19/11/2016 20:03

I like Kit too - short for Christopher

Whatslovegottodo · 19/11/2016 20:00

What about two names that make an initial nickname for when he is little - like 'TJ'?

YouWereAlwaysPerfect · 19/11/2016 19:53

My brothers name is Ace.
