Cool boys nicknames

[JoMalones]

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!

[Fockers]

Zed (zachary)
Jed (jeremy)

Ares (greek god of war) no nickname just thought it was cool

[Gruffalosfriend]

Shouldn't nicknames evolve naturally?

I find some of the suggestions quite ugly personally, e.g. Woody (erection) or Oaty?

Why not choose a name, even a short one, you love as a standalone name?

[auntym]

Otis - Oatie
Sebastian - Seb
Gabriel - Gabe
Osian - Ozzy
Robert - Bertie

[MyDogEatsBalloons]

I like Rube or Roo for Reuben.

[notagiraffe]

I think Ace short for Wallace or Horace is really great. Makes me smile. Lovely, happy name for a kid to grow up with and a proper name to grow into when he's older if he doesn't like Ace. (Could you not like Ace?)

Ziggy

[Sweets101]

I love Jem (possibly heavily influenced by Jamaica Inn), but it's short for Jeremy and i'my not sure how I feel about that

[MrsMontgomerySmythe]

How about Fabio or Fabian

You can then nickname him Fab or Fabs.

Aaidan?

[septembersunshine]

We liked the initials thing...so we have an Aaidan James..aka AJ. You could always do that? Lots of K middle names tend to lend themselves to initial shortening.

Ned- Edison
Sol - Solomon
Gabe - Gabriel
Alby - Albert
Raffi - Rafferty

[BikeRunSki]

My DD is called Amy and her name is often abbreviated to "Ace", so Ace could probably come from any name that starts with a hard A - i.e. Aidan rather than Anthony.

[CanadaMoose]

Ace could be: Mason, Grayson, Avery

[blinkineckmum]

Fab. Fabian.

[Pluto30]

I always liked Ned for Edward.

[Mclaren37]

Oh and Si for Silas. Love Si. Or Cy, as pp said! Good luck!

[Mclaren37]

Roo for Reuben
Gil for Gilbert❤️
Gus for Angus or Fergus
Oz/Ozzie for Oscar or Oswald
Archie or Arch for Archer
Art for Arthur

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Angus (Gus)
Evan (Van)
Cyrus (Cy)
Joseph (Joe)

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Seb (Sebastian)
Gabriel (Gabe)
Nathan (Nat)
Benjamin (Ben)

[Sophronia]

Wallace and Horace are awful. Ace could be short for Asa which is much nicer?

Other suggestions...

Kit short for Christopher
Buddy short for Robert (I know someone called this) or Albert
Woody short for Edward
Xan/Xander/Zander short for Alexander
Roo short for Rufus or Reuben
Bram short for Abraham
Ted short for Edward or Theodore
Fab short for Fabian
Ike short for Isaac
Sol short for Solomon
Hal short for Henry or Hallam
Joss short for Joseph
Mac short for Mackenzie, Maximilian, Maxwell
Sonny short for Jackson, Carson etc.

[KlingybunFistelvase]

No suggestions, but just to say I love Kit, Art and Vinnie suggested above.

I also kind of like Wallace, but think I'm in the minority by the looks of things! Anyway I really don't like Ace as a nn, it's a bit cheesy in my head, but each to their own and all that.

Congratulations on the new arrival OP .

[ButterBeanSoup]

My DD has the middle name Ace.
Nothing more to add.

[Artandco]

Vinnie- Vincent
Ernie - Ernest
Eric
Magnus

[WineCheeseSleep]

I like Kit and Art as suggested above. Maybe Xander short for Alexander too?
