Can Vanny be a boy's nickname?

[Luckymummy123]

Or does it sound too feminine?

I suppose it could be but I'm afraid it's not particularly nice.

Sounds like Fanny.

Vinny from Vincent maybe instead?

DD's a Van/Vanna from Savannah

If his name is Evangelos it could.

Definitely too close to Fanny.

Or Evander?

It could be a pet form of Vanya or Evan I suppose.
It’s not especially nice though.

Vanny the Van driver?

Fanny.

Sounds like a blend of Vagina and Fanny. Terrible. What would it be short for?

Oh Dear God no, if you lived in Scotland school days would simply be hell, fanny is too similar, think, "Wee fanny, ya fanny, yer Maw's a fanny, yer Maw" etc etc... please no.
What about Van as in Van
Morrisson? Sorry.... 🙂

Omg, not what I was hoping for
Short for Ivan.

Vanny the Fanny

I immediately thought of fanny just like loads of others apparently.

Surely "van" would be better. Vanny isn't shorter than Ivan so you may as well just say Ivan.

I also thought short for Ivan. What is Van Morrison's full name?

I'm not sure Ivan really needs a nickname. It is absolutely fine as it is.

You could probably use Van as a nn if you wanted by Vanny really does just lead far too easily on to Fanny (sorry).

Ah x post, short for Ivan, totally fine. Van probably better.

Yes it’s like a word that the inbetweeners would use

I also instantly throught fanny!
Ivan is a lovely name, why does he need a nickname?

George Ivan.

Come on op give the kid a chance!

Works for me, but then one of our children got the nickname Obsidian somehow and it stuck for ages

I’m afraid I thought vagina/fanny combo too, not ideal! Ivan is lovely though - presuming there must be other (less genitalia based) nicknames used for it..

Yep. Fanny here too! Especially in the teen years.

I know an Ivan and everyone calls him Ive.
