Boy Names

What are some diminutives of [name]John[/name] besides [name]Jack[/name]. Not having a boy, but just curious for the future. :slight_smile:

[name]Don[/name]'t know what a diminutive is but I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Johnnie[/name]

3

A nickname.

[name]Jack[/name] and [name]Johnny[/name]/[name]Johnnie[/name] about covers it that I’m aware of. I suppose you could do [name]Jo[/name]/[name]Joe[/name] by a long stretch (everyone would assume it was [name]Joseph[/name] though).

I guess you could also do [name]Jackie[/name], Jacks/[name]Jax[/name] by a stretch.

Did you also just want a list of related names? Cause there are tons of those…

Yeah, [name]Johnny[/name] was my only other thought. I much prefer [name]Jack[/name] (my brother is a [name]Johnny[/name], and it sounds so childish to me, although I do suppose it works for some people). I’ve also heard J/JJ/[name]Jay[/name].

I was also thinking of variations of [name]John[/name], like [name]Johannes[/name], [name]Zane[/name], [name]Ian[/name], [name]Shane[/name], [name]Giovanni[/name], etc., but I’m guessing that’s not what you’re looking for…

Wouldn’t [name]Jackson[/name] work? [name]John[/name] --> [name]Jack[/name] --> [name]Jackson[/name]. Yeah, I don’t mind that!

You could aslo make the name longer and go to [name]Jonathan[/name], and could go by nicknames [name]Nathan[/name] or [name]Nate[/name].
