Boy nicknames ending in ie/y

General Name Discussion
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,

We are still searching for the name for our second boy. Our first is named [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], nn [name_m]Auggie[/name_m]. We are a German/American family so looking for a name that works in both languages. I would absolutely love a name that has an ie/y ending nickname.

We have a dog named [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] so that’s off the table and unfortunately my husband does not like the name Oliver/Ollie so that’s off too.

Thank you for your ideas, I appreciate it!
