Why do you need a nickname?

I'd say if nothing comes to you intuitively that searching for nickname is bit pretentious

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 12/05/2013 11:57

Tor? Hec?

No, sorry I tried and can't. It is an ancestral name that you are expected to use in order to inherit the castle?

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 12/05/2013 12:04

Heckythump if you're in Scotland!

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 12/05/2013 12:05

Hex? To rhyme with sex? Or hex like a gypsy's curse?! Confused

pygmy · 12/05/2013 12:06

I did think Hex, but it means evil spell. I don't feel the need for a nickname, but dp is troubled by the lack of.

My twins are Hector and Arthur. Their brothers call them tractor and trailer.

There aren't any nice nicknames imo - Heck? Hex? Also, the meaning of hector would put me off.

LondonInHighHeeledBoots · 12/05/2013 18:39

Hex or Tori/Tor. Probably Hex, but I am a bit odd and do love me an 'x' in a name.

And nn's just happen, you don't need an automatic one. You'll probably end up calling him something completely random related to something he did as a toddler anyway.

The german word for witch is Hexe. Guess it comes from Hex.

Exhaustipated · 12/05/2013 18:43

I know one, he is called Hec sometimes...
Don't think there are any really.,

olivertheoctopus · 12/05/2013 22:03

Neither of my DS's nn's have any obvious associations with their names, they just kind of evolved over time. Don't sweat it.

Y'know, Magnus would be Mags Wink

I know a Hector - his nicknames are Hec and Heccie. I think it's a great name!
