Boys names (shortened to something ending in "ie/y")

Hope my title makes sense 😂
Basically we are having a little boy, current names we love can all be shortened to more modern nicknames (Ernest/Ernie, Douglas/Dougie, Arthur/Artie, Albert/Albie)

Baby would probably be known more as nickname than christened name.

Any more ideas greatly received xx

Francis - Frankie? I like Fran though. Jonathan to Jonny is probably the coolest. I know a few cool Jonnys

Bear in mind that boys in my experience often drop the ei/y suffix so be sure you like the sort short version. So a Samuel known as Sammy as a child will often decide to be Sam as a teenager.

@BertrandRussell this was our thinking, more choice when he's older too! X
