Give me boys names that have 'cool' nicknames

I cannot find one boys name that I love so I'm hoping to 'love' a nickname instead.

I cannot have a name beginning with the letter E as its the same initial as dd. I also cant have a name with one syllable due to our surname.

Family names that I like but cannot use are
Rueben and Marcus.

Any help greatly appreciated

We have a Jeremiah who was going to be known as Jem but is now known by his initials apart from when he calls himself Miah.

I know Seeker, awful isnt it. Named because her dd had to begin with the letter 'J' like her other three children. Which makes iteven worse.

I like Grey too - I have Grady on my boys shortlist or how about Grayson as alternatives to Graham?

Theodore shorted to Theo or Ted or Teddy.

UpInArms · 07/04/2009 14:05

I love Theo but DH says 'feo' so it rules it out for us.

Malachy shortened to Mal.
Mechi (I don't know how to spell it. Makai?) shortened to Kai?

We've just had a Nicholas but he's known as Nicky at the moment, I'm sure it'll evolve into Nico or Nick as he gets older.
I love Patrick, with Paddy for short. One of the names on my shortlist was William, because it can be shortened to Will, Billy, Bill, Liam...
