Boy's Names with 3 Letter Nicknames?

[name_f]My[/name_f] top 3 girl’s names are [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] & [name_f]Callista[/name_f], with the nicknames [name_f]Bee[/name_f], [name_u]Max[/name_u] & [name_u]Cal[/name_u]. Unintentionally, they all have 3 letter nicknames, so now I’m on the hunt for names with 3 letter nicknames! I’m completely stuck for boy’s names! Thank you!

I love your names :face_holding_back_tears:

Could a one syllable nickname work equally well? That might expand your options while remaining aurally cohesive

@ocjacq50 I love [name_m]Valentin[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m] & [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] (though [name_u]Cal[/name_u] & Cas/ [name_u]Cal[/name_u] & [name_u]Val[/name_u] are a bit close, they’re so sweet!) Thank you so much for your suggestions!

@Strawberry_Traveler Thank you! [name_u]Kit[/name_u] is so cute & I love [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] & [name_u]Henry[/name_u]! I wish [name_m]Hal[/name_m] wasn’t so close to [name_u]Cal[/name_u], because it’s adorable!

@Elle1 Thank you sm! I love [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] nn [name_u]Win[/name_u] & [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u]! [name_u]Zeppelin[/name_u] nn Zep is sooo cool but maybe too cool for me? Lol!

@kapaza yes it could! I was doing three letters for fun, but one syllable would work!

@snowmaiden those are such sweet & warm boy names!! [name_m]Ned[/name_m] is so sweet, but my sister’s name is [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] so [name_u]Nat[/name_u] is out unfortunately! Thank you for your suggestions!

@vida I love so many of these, particularly August/Gus, [name_m]Alistair[/name_m], [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] & [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]. I wish [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] wasn’t so To Kill a Mockingbird because [name_u]Kit[/name_u] is perfection! I think [name_u]Solstice[/name_u] “Sol” is my favorite!!!
