A brother for Susannah

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! We’re expecting a brother for our daughter [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. We’d like to stick with a combination of the family names I’ve listed below for first and middle. I’m hung up on finding a nickname that I like as much as my daughter’s, which is [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]. I love classic names but also want to have the option to use a less common and unexpected nickname.

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]

I’d love some help with less common nicknames for the above or combinations of the above names that could produce a fun nickname. I’d also love to hear any suggestions outside of these choices that you think sound great with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and have fun nickname potential. Thanks in advance!

I love [name_u]Sam[/name_u], but if that isn’t interesting enough for you I like [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] with the nickname Seph.

Maybe [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn JT or [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] nn JC or [name_u]Jace[/name_u]. You could also call [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_u]Jay[/name_u] [name_u]Jay[/name_u] (as a small child) or [name_u]Jay[/name_u]. [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] could be CJ. [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] could be [name_m]Wes[/name_m].

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is my favorite.

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] is my favourite but the name with my favourite nickname is [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] with the nickname [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] is another favourite with the nickname [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_u]Ren[/name_u]!

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] ([name_u]Sal[/name_u], [name_u]Mel[/name_u])
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] ([name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_m]Gil[/name_m], [name_m]Wim[/name_m])
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (TJ)
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (CJ)
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u], [name_u]Ren[/name_u])
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] ([name_u]Cal[/name_u], [name_u]Ren[/name_u])

My favorite combos with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be [name_m]Clarence[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Clarence[/name_m], and [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]

My favorite nickname combos with [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] would be [name_u]Cal[/name_u], [name_u]Ren[/name_u], and [name_m]Gil[/name_m]

[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is just so lovely! [name_m]William[/name_m] strikes me as a great match for it - both soft, traditional, and not overused.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], nicknamed Wilf? [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and Wilf would be adorably quirky!

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] could be Massy, or Mas as an unexpected nickname. [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] could turn into Seph.

Also if I could suggest another name [name_u]Wallace[/name_u], similar to [name_m]William[/name_m], but with the unexpected nick name of [name_m]Ace[/name_m]. [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_m]Ace[/name_m] sound like a cute sib set.

A nickname for [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] could be [name_m]Thos[/name_m] (pro. Toss).

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] are my favorites with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]! [name_u]Sam[/name_u] or [name_u]Sammy[/name_u] is pretty straightforward (unless you want to go for Mule, lol), but I’ve never been a [name_m]Tom[/name_m]/[name_m]Tommy[/name_m] fan, so I’ve looked at Tommo or Masso myself, which I rather like. :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck!

What about [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]? [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_m]Zander[/name_m]!
