Challenge.... Can you help?

We have been calling our 2nd baby “Nugget” whilst we’ve been pregnant and I would like to give a nod to that with one of his middle names. We did something similar with our daughter who we refered to as flee during pregnacy and her middle name is felicity.

So the challenge is… [name_m]Can[/name_m] you think of a name that has a connection to nugget or is a nod to that nickname.

Thanks and hopefully you’re more imaginative than i am!

It’s a tough one :rofl: my first thought was [name_m]Nigel[/name_m], but I’m not sure how similar that is to ‘Nugget’. I did find [name_m]Nagel[/name_m], which is a little closer. Unfortunately, I can’t really come up with any very familiar names that sound similar. Maybe [name_m]Dagget[/name_m], [name_m]Nisbet[/name_m] or [name_m]Duggan[/name_m]? I hope this helped in some way :sweat_smile: :blush:

Maybe [name_u]Padget[/name_u] or [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (bit of a stretch). Maybe something to do with gold? Like a golden nugget? Lol
[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]/Aurelian means “the golden one”

My first thought was golden nugget, so [name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]. Also, but maybe a stretch:
Crisanto ([name_u]Golden[/name_u] flower)
[name_u]Darren[/name_u]/Zarren/Dario (small, great and wealthy)
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] (Keeper of treasure)
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] ([name_m]Rich[/name_m] and prosperous)

[name_m]Doug[/name_m] or [name_u]Douglas[/name_u] are the first things that come to mind. Also [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] or [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] could work with the et ending.

Ya I think the best way to nod to Nugget is with something about [name_m]Gold[/name_m].

Even just [name_m]Gold[/name_m] as a mn is nice. I’ve heard [name_u]Silver[/name_u] as a mn and thought it was really cool!

Golden nuggets are weighed by [name_m]Troy[/name_m] Ounces, so maybe even [name_m]Troy[/name_m]?

Other ideas:
[name_f]Oriole[/name_f]
[name_m]Orville[/name_m]
[name_m]Goldwin[/name_m]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_u]Yari[/name_u]

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone suggest [name_u]Tyson[/name_u]. [name_u]Tyson[/name_u] nuggets are a staple in our household.
