If I like: Nat/ Pat/ Lou/ Jude/ Hugh/ Doug/ Jeff/ Dan

[ch1134]

Starting a new thread as I got lots of good responses on the last one but I wasn't clear enough!

I love one syllable names, which have a longer, more formal/ classic full name.

I love the following but can't have:

Anything ending 'an/en/on' so no: Fabien (Fab)
Anything with an ooo sound: Louis (Lou) Jude, Hugh
No 'at' either: Jonathon (Nat), Pat

I quite like:
Daniel (Dan) - not sure about the 'yul' sound
Douglas (Doug) - too Scottish?
Jeffrey (Jeff) - husband not sure
but not sure.

French/ Welsh/ Cornish associations good.

Any more ideas? Thanks

Thomas nn Tam
David nn Dav or Dai

Gruffudd or Griffith nn Griff

Dom
Greg
Hal (Henry)
Sid
Zac
Bart
Jim

I love:
Nate (Nathaniel)
Zac (Zachary)
Jed (although long name Jedediah might be a bit much!)

Also Seb (Sebastian)

I love short names too, although I only like longer names on BC if they have the nickname in the longer name. So like Ben/Benjamin but not jim/James.
Ideas:
Sid/Sidney
Ned/ted/Edward
Jim/James
Bertie/Robert/Albert
Fred/Frederick/Alfred (or Alf)
Tom/Thomas
Tim/Timothy
Max/maxwell
Doug/Douglas
Gus/Angus/fergus
Pip/Phillip
Sam/Samuel

And
Jed/could it be short for Jared?

That's funny, I can't use names ending t/d/n or with 'Oo' sound. I like:

Cass
Gus
Cal
Mack (Cormac)

And bit out there but in love with...
Shep (Shepherd)
Moss (Amos /Moses)

If you like Pat but can't use it, you could use Patch (Patrick)

Forgot Sol!

Dom - Dominic
Ed - Edward

Lex Alexander
Seph Joseph

Some good ideas, thanks

Doug has an "oo" sound though.

I offer you:
Nick/Nicholas
Des/Desmond
Will/William
Ash/Asher

I think Jed could be short for Jared. I much prefer that option to Jedediah!

I'm not Scottish but if my unborn is a boy it is being called Douglas (Doug).

Joss - Joseph / Josiah / Jonas

Thad....Thaddeus

How many names can your child possibly need? If you like that great long list you already posted, pick one of them!

I've only Doug with oo sound if nn is Dougie

Guy, be brave and name him Guido.
Sol is lovely
Chris/ Christopher

Ray/mond
Don/ald - or does this breach the 'on' ending? Nor sure if that only applies to the long form.
Jem or Jerm/Jeremy
Kit/Christopher
Kim/berley
Lin/dsay
Rick/Richard
Bob/Robert

Jeremy/Jeremiah - Jem
Isaac - Ike
Ezekiel - Zeke

Oh, I like Ray, Don, Len rather than Lin, and Zeke and Ike are aling the right lines!
The 'on' is more of an 'un' sound problem, as our last name ends in 'son'.
Thanks, great ideas!

Len short for... ?
