Alternative Nickname Suggestions

I have some classic names on my list that I love, but that I’m not a fan of the nicknames for, and knowing my family they will undoubtedly be used unless I offer an alternative.

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - I don’t like [name_m]Ed[/name_m]

[name_m]Philip[/name_m] - I don’t like [name_u]Phil[/name_u] and already have 3 [name_u]Phil[/name_u]'s in my family

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_m]Chuck[/name_m], and [name_m]Chip[/name_m] can’t be used because of other family members.

Any suggestions of alternative nicknames for these names or am I just stuck with the traditional ones?

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - Can also be [name_m]Ned[/name_m], [name_m]Ted/name_m, or [name_m]Eddie[/name_m] (Though I don’t like [name_m]Ed[/name_m] I do like [name_m]Eddie[/name_m])
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] - Can also be Lip (Heard this on a TV show. Not sure I like it but it can definitely work), or [name_u]Flip[/name_u], or [name_m]Pip[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - Can also be [name_m]Chaz[/name_m], [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_m]Carl[/name_m] and my favorite, [name_u]Arlo[/name_u].

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is one of my favorites, and it gives me the nn Mondo, which I love!

[name_m]Philip[/name_m] isn’t my style because of [name_u]Phil[/name_u], but I like the idea of [name_u]Flip[/name_u] as a nn.

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] has the most versatility of these names. I like [name_m]Chaz[/name_m] & [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], but can also see [name_m]Chess[/name_m], [name_m]Carlo[/name_m]/[name_m]Carlos[/name_m], Cheese, Church, Chaps, Carrot, and [name_u]Les[/name_u]. I’m not sure if you’d like any of these, but these are names I’ve heard used in real life all by men over 25 (and all but two over 40).
