Cool boys nicknames

Hi
Our baby boy is a few days old but still nameless. I think he's pretty cool, as do his siblings, so would love to give him a cool name with a longer formal name.

So far have thought of Ace (Wallace or Horace), Rocky (Rocco or Rockwell). Still not totally in love with either so any suggestions welcome!

Chip (Charles or Christopher)

I went to school with brothers Ton and Topher (Jonathan and Christopher) and a Buzz (I think was Barry!)

Hal or Hank (Henry)

Nate (Nathaniel or Jonathan)

Art (Arthur)

Zee (Isiah or Isaac)

Oh god why? Just give the poor kid a nice name that won't get him bullied! Wallace and Rockwell? Are you off your rocker?

SaltyBitch · 19/11/2016 19:39

I love Wallace. Ace is terrible though.

My brothers name is Ace.

Whatslovegottodo · 19/11/2016 20:00

What about two names that make an initial nickname for when he is little - like 'TJ'?

Curve · 19/11/2016 20:03

I like Kit too - short for Christopher

Pyrrha · 19/11/2016 20:04

I like Kit for Christopher too

SaltyBitch · 19/11/2016 20:07

DH is a 34 year old Christopher/Kit. It was horribly unpopular when he was a kid!

Thoughtfulduck · 19/11/2016 20:08

I like the suggestion of Arthur shortened to Art.

Baby Art sounds great and I can imagine it suiting a teen and a man too.

Strokethefurrywall · 19/11/2016 20:11

I have a Sullivan nn Sully or Van - he seems to like it!

Bertucci · 19/11/2016 20:11

No more Kits! They're everywhere.

Floggingmolly · 19/11/2016 20:15

Give him a proper name and let his mates decide his nickname when he starts school. Why would you try to decide your child's nickname at this stage? Confused

JoMalones · 19/11/2016 20:16

Thank you for all those with helpful suggestions

I love Indie for a nickname. So Indiana or Indio.

BikeRunSki · 19/11/2016 20:20

Chas/Charles
Kit/Christopher
Lex/Alexander
Jay/James, Jason or anything else that begins with J.

BikeRunSki · 19/11/2016 20:23

X posts about Kit. I've never met one though !

Ike/Isaac

WickedBadZoot · 19/11/2016 20:24

I like initials for boys. Usually something then J : AJ, DJ, LJ etc. Does that work?

I also like Ace but don't like either of your longer names, what about Asa with Ace for short?

Shemozzle · 19/11/2016 20:29

Atticus nn Ace.
Sylvester/Sullivan nn Sully.
Rudyard nn Rudy
Solomon nn Sol
Icarus nn Ike
Ignatius nn Iggy
Raffery nn Raff

busyrascal · 19/11/2016 20:37

Woodrow nn Woody
Ezekiel nn Zeke
Basil nn Buzz
Montgomery nn Monty

crayfish · 19/11/2016 20:41

Ignatius? Iggy for short?

Rockwell is dreadful.
