Oof no. We do not do “Koen” in British society! Never mind the fact it will get mangled - and the Dutch do NOT pronounce Jasper with a hard J.

There are so many one syllable short versions of male first names out there.

HairyToity · 01/12/2022 10:27

I like Hugh and Luke.

Frank is one of my favourites. But then they might get called Frankie and Benny! 🤔😣
How about Robert - Bob, Rob, Bert.

I think I'd choose another longer name with a one-syllable short form, and I'd keep it fairly traditional too, to go with Ben.

Daniel/Dan
Thomas/Tom
Robert/Rob
William/Will
Joseph/Joe
Samuel/Sam
Christopher/Chris or Kit
Nathaniel/Nat or Nate
Dominic/Dom or Nic
Nicholas/Nick
