Boys names that lead to word nicknames?

Boy Names
1

Looking specifically for boys names that could lead to NN’s that are words. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you might consider them a bit obscure I’d be interested to hear them.

So far I’ve got;
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] = [name_m]Bear[/name_m] / [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m] = [name_m]Ham[/name_m]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] = [name_m]Link[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] = [name_u]Jazz[/name_u] / [name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] = [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Duncan[/name_m] = Dunk
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] = [name_m]Kale[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] = [name_m]Arch[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u] = [name_m]Jam[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] = [name_m]Jam[/name_m]

Ones that are a stretch or in poor taste;
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] = Sigh
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] = Kill
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] = Grin

Thanks.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

I love [name_u]Kit[/name_u] & [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] from your list. I prefer [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. Or [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]! Also, [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] & [name_m]Crispin[/name_m] are some more interesting options to get the nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u].

A few other ideas:

[name_m]Ace[/name_m]-You could basically do any ‘A’ name here, in my opinion.

[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]/[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn Bash

[name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] nn [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] nn [name_u]Chase[/name_u] or [name_m]Chance[/name_m]

[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] nn [name_u]Dash[/name_u]

[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]/[name_m]Finnian[/name_m]/[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u]

[name_m]Philip[/name_m]/[name_m]Philipe[/name_m] nn [name_u]Flip[/name_u]

Catcher nn Catch

[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] nn [name_m]Gil[/name_m]

[name_m]John[/name_m] nn [name_m]Jack[/name_m]

[name_m]Maximus[/name_m]/[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]/[name_m]Massimo[/name_m]/[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] nn [name_u]Max[/name_u]

[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] nn [name_m]Mac[/name_m]

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn [name_m]Penn[/name_m]

[name_m]Winston[/name_m]/[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]/[name_u]Owen[/name_u]/[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]/[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] nn [name_u]Win[/name_u]

[name_m]Whitman[/name_m] nn [name_u]Whit[/name_u]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] “Bash”
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] “[name_m]Rad[/name_m]”
[name_m]Truett[/name_m] “[name_u]True[/name_u]”
