Nickname for Lars which isn't Larry..?
Also any other scandi names which might work with it as a middle name?
Thankyou

Yep - Lasse.

The one I know is Lasse.

See eg the film maker Lars "Lasse" Hallström. His middle name is Sven.

Lasse is the common nickname for Lars in Nordic countries.

The nicknames that stick are usually the ones that have evolved naturally. I'm not sure that Lars needs a nickname.

Doesn't really lend itself to an abbreviation, but a nickname can be unrelated to the actual name anyway. The Lars I knew (my best friend's German exchange partner) was known as Spike by my friend because he had a lot of piercings.

I don't think Lars really needs a nickname. He'll probably get called his surname/ a derivative of it though by friends.
