I'm wondering if anyone has any examples of interesting nicknames (rather than shortenings) that they have heard of for a boy?

Like Tansy for a girl for example. Ones that aren't necessarily linked to the given name.

I'm struggling with my son's name and trying to think of fun nicknames (it's a short name with no obvious shortenings)

Thanks

Warning. This board will HATE this and tell you how they should come naturally and organically and not be contrived. Good luck OP 😂
