So I am curious, if you have a child whose full name is one syllable only, do you find yourself or others using nicknames that add syllables?! I know longer names always get shortened but I've also often noticed that sometimes one syllable just doesn't cut it and a name needs more!
Thoughts and experiences?

Haha we have a Mr baby! Eldest who is 2 has started saying it too Grin
He is usually Ben or baby Ben but that's mostly when talking to toddler brother. Not sure if I would add a "y" to it, "Benny". Husband is also a 1 syllable name and it never had a syllable added
