I love strange short forms for Boys names. I seem to prefer them over the orginal in most cases. Names such as [name]Liam[/name], [name]Topher[/name], [name]Eben[/name], [name]Cole[/name] etc. Can you think of anymore like this?
i think the other thing i am trying to get at is, are not just fun
nick names, but unexpected nick names. [name]Topher[/name] being a good example, every one knows [name]Chris[/name] as a nickname for [name]Christopher[/name], but i think that is dated. However people do not usually think of [name]Topher[/name].
[name]Xander[/name] or [name]Zander[/name] (for [name]Alexander[/name])
[name]Remy[/name] (could be a nickname for several names from [name]Remington[/name] to [name]Jeremiah[/name])
[name]Kai[/name] (for Miciah)
[name]Link[/name] for [name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Kai[/name] for [name]Malachi[/name]
[name]Kit[/name] for [name]Christopher[/name]
[name]Mac[/name] for [name]Cormac[/name]
Renzi for [name]Lawrence[/name]
[name]Dezi[/name] for [name]Desmond[/name]
[name]Hitch[/name] for [name]Richard[/name]
[name]Lex[/name] for [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Tip[/name] for [name]Thomas[/name]
I love [name]Kit[/name] for [name]Christopher[/name] and [name]Lex[/name] for [name]Alexander[/name], as mentioned above!
