Two syllable boys names that CAN'T be shortened!

[RiceorChips]

I know that most names can be shortened however, some names have much more obvious / common shortened versions than others.
For example, popular ones include Daniel (Dan), Thomas (Tom) and Samuel (Sam).

I'm looking for suggestions on 2 syllable boys names that can't be shortened (or at least have less obvious shortenings). For example, Leon, Caleb and Niall.

Any suggestions please???? Thank you!!

I have a Theo, he is actually Theodore on his BC but we call him Theo and that doesn't get shortened.

We have an Oscar which does get shortened to oz/Ozzy by some of his friends.

We also have Dylan and rudi neither of them have had their name shortened, we ocassionally called Dylan.. Dyl but his friends don't. Ditto rudi is rude dude or various other silly versions but his friends all call him rudi.

I have a Cosmo (no. 1191 in 2012 ONS!). We often call him Cos .... I think whatever name you give will be shortened, or lengthened. People like to give people nn, it's a form of endearment/familiarity.

Just a word of warning- you can't win! We called DS a name that can't be shortened and his friends call him something else completely!

[TickledOnion]

How about Isaac, Noah or Nathan?

[NotInGuatemalaNowDrRopata]

Not two syllables, but Craig?

Rory, Percy, Derek, Dylan, Corey, Merlin

That's all I can think at the minute.

I know a Merlyn that is known only as Merl.

[Reastie]

Oh CP yes I can see that now . It's not as obviously shortened as Thomas/Tom Benjamin/Ben etc though

[Turniptwirl]

I see what you mean, like friends and family will shorten anything but teachers and other random people wouldn't automatically shorten it.

Jared

My brother is called Aaron. He gets called ah. His mates call him alf or afie. I don't think my parents envisaged that!

Alan
Harry
Jamie
Alex

[FunnysInLaJardin]

Nye is a name which we considered OP. Short for Anuerin. TBH any name can be shortened

[RiceorChips]

Some great suggestions, thank you!

Am liking Jamie and Theo, and love Nathan!

Others I like but can't have include Isaac, Aidan / Hayden, Dylan, Simon and Alex.

Quite like Justin but can't get the Mr Tumble connection out of my head!!

I like Jared but have heard it's often thought of as a naughty boys name?? What do you think?

[Reastie]

rice but when he's 15 you won't even think of Mr Tumble though.

I like Jared, I don't associate it with naughty boys at all. Just thought of another few, Jasper,Graham and Gareth.

or Henry

rice ds3(8) has a friend called justin, he is a lovely little boy, no one connects his name to mr tumble and my kids watch it as they have younger siblings.
