Classic Names With Modern Nicknames

Girl Names
1

I love long, classic names, but don’t particularly want my child saddled with “[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]” for everyday conversation. The perfect compromise seems to be a classic name with a cooler nickname, maybe something a little less common. For example for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], you could call her “[name_u]Tris[/name_u]” (or the more classic [name_f]Bea[/name_f]).

This is the girls forum, I know, but if any similar boys names come to mind that would be fantastic
(ex. [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]-[name_m]Ben[/name_m])
