Boys name with great nicknames

[mamasmissionimpossible]

We are having ds2 in February 2012. I am looking for a boys name that have great nicknames. Can you suggest any for me as I am really stuck for boys name?

Christopher:

Kester
Christy
Kit
Christo

I have a William. He's known as Willabaloobybabyboy.

(Now he's 5 he answers to Blue)

Edward:

Teddy (my favourite), Ted, Eddy, Ed

Alexander - Alex, Xander
Quentin - Quinn, Quent
Edward - Ed, Eddie, Ned

But why don't you just choose a name you love, regardless of whether it is a long name or nickname ?

Nicholas and Nick.
I wouldn't worry about nicknames, he will get called something else entirely!

Thomas and Tom.

Robert

Bobby
Robby
Bob
Rob
Berty!

exotic, we chose a girls name that has potential for several different nicknames as well as being good in itself just because it gives dd a bit more flexibility when she's older.

I like that about my name - I changed it in my later primary years from a more girly nickname used when I was small to a different common shortening that I felt suited me more.

Lewis - Ludo

Ray (Horatio, Raymond), Tolly, Bah, Barty, Bart (Bartholomew), Will, Willy, Wilber, Liam, Lee, Bill, Billy, (William), Ez, Ezzy, Zeke, Zee (Ezekiel)....Jay, Jamie, Jimi, Jim, (James), Mickey, Mikey, Mick, Mike, Kal, Kally, (michael), Nat, Nate, nathan, nay, Natty, Than, Nel, (Nathaniel).

Tbh OP, nicknames don't have to have anything to do with actually names. I know a Gabriel who is known as Angel, a Benjamin known as Bobby and a Rhoda known as Cherry.

Finn is a great nickname so call him Finlay!

I like Rex, shot for Reginald or Frederick, Finn short for Finnian, Fintan, Finlay, Finnegan...Matt or Mattie short for Matthew. :)

Sol = Solomon
mikey , micky, mickie= Michael
Neo = Napolian
Benji= Benjamin
Eli= Elijah

Andrew: Andy/Drew
Matthew: Matt/Mattie
James: 'JJ' if with another J for 2nd name/Jamie.

Nathaniel - Nate, Nat

Nathan- nat, nate
zachary-Zachi, Zac
