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!!

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

By the time he's 15, a JustIn will be at the peak of 'small willy' jokes

I have a Theo too. I love it obviously

His middle name is James, suppose there's risk of jim/jimmy later in life but probably not for some time?

I also like Jude

Ok so maybe Justin is off the list???!!!

I do like names beginning with J though, they seem to work well with our surname.

So, thoughts on:
Jared - too harsh sounding?
Jamie - too soft / feminine sounding?
Jacob - inevitably shortened to Jake?
Joseph - LOVE this! Though inevitably shortened to Joe? Joey? Though is that a bad thing?

Eli?

I have a friend named Justin, nicknamed Stin.

Jacob is lovely and I really like Jake as well. 2 great names for the price of 1 imo.

Joseph is nice as well and I don't mind Joe either.

I think both would get shortened sometimes/by some people so I wouldn't choose either if you really don't like Jake/Joe. As everyone has said though pretty much everything will be shortened sometimes and I think a nice nn like Jake has to be better than J or Red or Jar or whatever Jared would be shortened to.

Maybe you should think of a one syllable name you love and then add on an extra syllable?

Jake/Jacob
Joe/Joseph
Jack/Jackson
Jude/Judah
James/Jamie
Josh/Joshua
Jev/Jevan
Jay/ any J name!

Luke/Lucas or Luca
Mark/ Marcus
Tom/ Thomas
Sam /Samson or Samuel

Thanks all, really helpful!

Have run some names past DH and currently our shortlist looks like this:
Leo
Leon
Jacob
Joseph
Marcus

Though I know some (if not all) of these can easily be shortened!!!!

It's a tricky busy this naming lark, especially when you have an 'awkward' surname!!!

I know a Niall called Nelly!
Jude called Judy.
Aiden called Ades.

There is nothing you can do tbh.

You seem to have a lot of Irish names in the family! And you've said you like some of the Irish names suggested, so if you're open to those, here are two more: Finn and Lorcan.

DH and I have both agreed to consider Lorcan for DC2 if a boy. We considered Finn for DC1, and IME Finn does tend to get lengthened to Finlay in the UK, whereas in Ireland it's either a stand-alone name or short for Fintan or Finbarr.

I know, I guess long names get shortened and short names get lengthened!! Or some nickname is introduced based on the surname or something completely random!!

I do like Finn / Finlay but DH doesn't.
He's vetoed quite a few names I like actually including Caleb, Theo, and Zac / Zachary.
But of course hasn't really suggested any... apart from the likes of Barry or Derek!!!!!

Love Leon and Jacob.

My DH won't go for ARthur because he thinks that all men need a one-syllable name for the pub (don't worry, I have rolled my eyes at him as much as humanly possible over this). I know it can be Art, but that just feels like a whole different kind of name and isn't an easy or inevitable shortening.

auntiestella, apparently Mr Tumble has a huge one. Just saying

Not every ones cup of tea but I love Maddox and can't think of anything it could ready be shortened to as a boy. Maddie is a bit girlie maybe dox or m but not a lot else!

Even Derek and Barry can be shortened! Baz and Del anyone?

Simon becomes Si and Nigel becomes Nige.

V few names are completely immune!

Eric
Dara
Adam
Oscar
Felix
Iago
Leon
Johnny
Marcus
Martin
Eamon
Lewis/Louis (or whichever spelling it is, I get confused!)

Adam
Benji
Chester
Dustin
Frazer
Gerard
Hector
Ian
Liam
Oscar
Charlie
Leo
Jamie
Norris
Corey
Cody
Grady

Ruan
Ryan

We have a Rory. Can't think of any obvious shortenings. Roar?!?

There is no such thing as a name that can't be shortened. I went to school with a family of four siblings, each with 3 letter names. They still get shortened!

Eve is Ev, Tom is T, Lia is Li and Zak is Zee.

What can you do? My mum also gave myself & my siblings names she thought couldn't be shortened (although longer names than the examples above) - they are all shortened sometimes. You can't win!

Thank you for your responses.

I know, like I said before, I know most if not all names can be shortened if you try hard enough and/or you want to but some are easier and more obvious than others.
Something like Ian for example is a little more difficult to shorten than something like Thomas.

I do LOVE Joseph but neither me nor DH are keen on Joe and it's obvious it would get shortened to this. Though I'm thinking we could still call him Joseph and just accept we cant control what anyone else calls him!!
Leon is also on the shortlist though someone mentioned this could / would get shortened to Lee which we dont like but maybe we just cant do anything about that???!

I guess whatever name we choose, his future mates could decide to call him anything!!!!

My stepbrothers managed to abbreviate Iain to "ee".

really struggling with names. I love Ava Florence but Ava is just too popular and comes no 8 in the top 100. Any other ideas i definitely want to use Florence as middle name...

I have bought the baby jogger city elite and the compact plus carry cot i want to use this in the house during the day too as i am not having a moses basket i have a swinging crib. can anyone tell me if this carrycot matress is ventilated as ive heard i may need to buy a new one?

Hate to say it but lljk is right , if they don't shorten it they'll lengthen it. Or even worse - he'll get something based on looks or personal attributes: Tubby, Speccy, Titch .... Best pick something with a short form you don't mind too much and keep your fingers crossed!
