Hello!
[name_u]Baby[/name_u] is seven weeks away and we’re really struggling. My husband and I both love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] but we have a very common last name and I am a bit of a popularity-a-phob. Part of the appeal for [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is the NN [name_m]Hank[/name_m] which we both adore. [name_m]How[/name_m] else can we get to [name_m]Hank[/name_m] or a similar style NN? I love old cool guy names like [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], but would love something a little less common.
Thanks so much!
[name_m]Heinrich[/name_m]
[name_u]Henley[/name_u]
[name_m]Henderson[/name_m]
[name_m]Hendrik[/name_m]
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_m]Hansel[/name_m]
[name_m]Hanson[/name_m]
[name_m]Harrington[/name_m]
[name_m]Harris[/name_m]
Bohomamma had some great ideas! I just wanted to add [name_m]Henrik[/name_m] to the list.
Also, another “old cool guy” nickname I love is [name_m]Chet[/name_m]. I don’t love [name_m]Chester[/name_m] so that is what is holding me back. But perhaps you could use [name_m]Charles[/name_m] and [name_m]Chet[/name_m] as a nickname?
Some other names you might like…
[name_m]Harlan[/name_m] (maybe you could use [name_m]Hank[/name_m]?)
[name_m]Lowell[/name_m]
Alder
[name_m]Hoyt[/name_m]
[name_u]Wylie[/name_u] (I heard an older man named this nicknamed Wyle - I thought that was cool!)
Good luck!
Maybe [name_m]Harvey[/name_m]? [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought!
I know it’s a brand of Beer but I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the Name Heineken and it would work PERFECTLY for the Nickname [name_m]Hank[/name_m]!
[name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m]/[name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] or Hawkins Good luck!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Henrik[/name_m]?
[name_m]Hank[/name_m] is top of the list for another boy if we have one. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_m]Hank[/name_m]. I think it stands alone and doesn’t just need to be a nickname!
