Pip, jem or....

[Cantseemytoesanymore]

Currently 34 weeks and thinking seriously about our shortlist of names now! We're set with our girls name but we're still debating boys names. We love names that are short and sweet and we don't mind if they're generally thought of as nicknames rather than full first names! We love Pip (although normally short for Phillip) and Jem (which we guess is short for Jeremy or James!) but are struggling to think of other names in that style! Any thoughts would be appreciated!

We were going to have Benjamin and call him Jem
love Zeb from Zebedee and
Seb and Zach Too

Not keen on Jules.
I know a gorgeous little Jem so I'm biased towards it. Definitely my favourite from your list.

Kester

No to Jules or Julian.

Jem short for Jeremy or Jeremiah
Zebedee
Barnaby

Nick/Nico short for Nicodemus

I liked Jem too until I looked up the meaning, which is "supplanter" (to oust someone and take over their patch/land). This may not bother you but thought it better to mention it.

auntym James and Jacob mean the same and they're doing ok!

I love Jem, although my female cat is called Jem so I couldn’t ever use it now (We have a Jem and Scout - sisters, I thought they where a boy and a girl! Lol)

Jooni those weren't on my list so I wouldn't have known! I get it, not everyone is as motivated by the meaning of a name as me (classic over thinker):"

Milo
Alec
Zeb
Axel
Kier

I know a Jed & a Jim. Both their given names & not short for anything.

Jem is short for Jeremy, not James
