Alonzo and Lonnie for short??

6 replies

Love the name Lonnie for a boy but think of it more as a nickname and if chosen would prefer to have Alonzo as his full name on the BC. Have a couple queries though; Alonzo or Alonso? (I'm leaning towards alonzo as it could also be shortened to lonzo/lonz if he wanted) and Lonnie, Lonny or Lonni? Not sure what would make the most sense. Thoughts?

I prefer Lonnie

I prefer Alonso (Spanish connection rather than Italian), just looks nicer to me.

Lonnie like Lonnie Donegan.

I love the name Lonny, I know both male and female with the name so would go with Lonny for a boy and Lonnie/Lonni for a girl but all spellings are fine! I would use it as a full name too rather than nickname to Alonzo unless you have ties to the origin of that name too

I prefer Alonzo from your ideas.

Or do you like Leon or Laurence with Lonny for short?

Laurence is lovely too!

Leon is great, plus the NN and the BC version would have the same initial.
