I’m toying with the idea of adding [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m] to my list, or rather replacing [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] with [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m]. The issue is nicknames. I’m okish, but not crazy about [name_u]Ricky[/name_u], which would be my go to nn for either name. I’m considering [name_f]Lark[/name_f] as a nn for [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], but I’m afraid it might border on too feminine with my favorite [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] combo, [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]. I can’t come up with any other nn ideas for [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m]. So I’m asking which do you prefer, [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] or [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m], and why? Also any creative nn ideas for either one?
Sorry for any mistakes. I’m on my mobile.
I much prefer [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] to [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m]. I don’t like [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m] at all because it seems too surname-y. I like the similar [name_m]Henrik[/name_m] more.
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m] - [name_u]Ali[/name_u] and [name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_m]Hendrick[/name_m] - Enri
Neither [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] or [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m] are my style, though I concur with ikfly and like [name_m]Henrik[/name_m] more.
If I met a little [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] I would be tempted to call him [name_m]Al[/name_m] or [name_u]Ali[/name_u].
A little [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m] I would call [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Hen[/name_f], Henk, [name_m]Hank[/name_m] or Hendy.
I love [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] nn [name_f]Lark[/name_f]. I know a little boy named [name_f]Lark[/name_f] (his brother is [name_u]Lyric[/name_u]) and they don’t have any problems with it and since [name_u]Marion[/name_u] is the middle name, people won’t know it unless they ask or see paper work of some kind. So I think your fine!
[name_m]Hendrik[/name_m] nn [name_m]Hank[/name_m] would be my pick.
Edited for privacy.
Thanks guys! I kinda like Enri for [name_m]Hendrick[/name_m], defiantly not one I’d thought of. I’m also rather intrigued by [name_m]Eric[/name_m] for [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]. Thanks for the suggestions! Right now I’m still leaning toward keeping [name_m]Alaric[/name_m], but we’ll see what I decide. Any other nn ideas?
