Adam - what does it get shortened to?

[fromheretomaternity]

Thinking of Adam as a name for baby number 2, partly as it's a crossover Muslim / English name. Just wondering if anyone who already has (or knows) an Adam can tell me what it gets shortened to, if anything?

My DS sometimes get Ad's but can't think of anything else

Addie.

The Adam I went to school with got shortened to Ad's too.

My husbands name, his mum sometimes calls him Ad, but generally its not shortened.

Ads in my experience

My brother is an Adam. I've always thought it a great name!
he gets called Ad for short. Sometimes Ad-the-lad by his mates

We call our friend Ad

I know two - one is never shortened, the other is Addie.

Addie I like, not so sure about Ad the Lad... Any more? Do you like the name?

My brother is an Adam and is usually called Ad.

Ad's here too. It's my DS2's name I love it

I've got an Adam. We never shorten it, in fact we never considered anyone would shorten it, but his childminder calls him Ad and DH can't stand it. I'm not keen either, TBH but that's because I think Adam is lovely just as it is

I've only heard the full name used for Adam.

Ads, IME
or Nads (by his sister)

lovely name though, and she's stopped calling him Nads now they're in their 30s I think

Only Adam I know is called Wad. I don't know why.

DH is Adam. I never shorten it but I think some people call him Ad occasionally. He has other nicknames but not connected to that name - people have to try a bit harder LOL.

dh is Adam, I call him Ad and sometimes, Ad the Dad!

I know two 3 year old Adams who are just Adam no nn.

I know two 30 year old Adams one is Adi, Adidas, Adamski, the other is Ads or Adman.
I know that both their Mothers dissaprove of these nicknames.

Smithy - or whatever else derived from your surname

I've never known Adams itself to be shortened.

We have a friend who get's called AJ by the lads

I've heard Ad and Adamski.

Adzo

Df is an Adam. I've only ever used his full name
