Adam - what does it get shortened to?

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?

I know a couple of Adams and have never heard it shortened to Ad. They are either just Adam or sometimes Damz, which of course isn't a shortening at all! Love Adam but hate Ad.

Ew, not so keen on some of these (Adamski?!), I suppose you can't control what nicknames a child picks up.

Also thinking of Rafi though that maybe has worse nickname potential.

Maybe it'll be a girl, wd make the whole naming thing far easier!

My brother is Adam in full to everyone but me who gets away with calling him Ads - a sister's perogative I reckon!
