ME and my partner are trying for a baby! (yay!). He already has three... This will be my first! He would like a name that cant be shortened.. in no that fussy as both mine and his are shortened names!
But anyway he named two of his three kids and they all have really nice names...
Has anyone got an suggestions on names that cant be shortened?
We aren't pregnant yet so as of yet we wont know if it will be a boy or a girls name were looking for!

All names can be shortened, or given nicknames to.

..or lengthened Smile
I knew guys called Aaron, Gary, and Darren who got called Az, Gaz and Daz. Some people get called by surnames or totally unrelated NN's.

Short names also get lengthened.

I know lots of Sams who get called Sammy.

My nephews are Kyle and Zak (just Zak not Zachary). Kyle gets Kyky and Zak gets Zak-Olly (middle name is Oliver).

What is your taste? Do you like trendy names or classic? Unusual? Does popularity bother you?

Most names can (and do) get shortened, and it's true short names do get lengthened!
For example, I know of a Jason that gets shortened to Jay, and a Joel that gets lengthened to Joely!

Possible suggestions though are:
Owen
Brad
Greg
Theo
Fred
Aidan
Brett
Carl
Daryl
Elliot
Gray
Quinn

Amber
Scarlett
Cora
Rose
Orla
Freya
Cara
Isla
Eve
Joy
Daisy
Carla
