So I have a weakness for boys names with nicknames ending in ‘y’ or ‘ie’. I’ve compiled a list of those I like, but I was wondering what everyone else thinks and what impressions you get? Any favourites or other suggestions? I know there are lots out there. Thanks!
I have a weakness for girls nicknames ending in ie/y! Although [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] “[name_m]Tommy[/name_m]” & [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] “[name_u]Ollie[/name_u]” are on my list too. [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] and both nicknames you’ve listed, and [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]/[name_u]Tony[/name_u] and [name_u]Michael[/name_u]/[name_m]Mikey[/name_m] are gorgeous.
Some other suggestions:
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] - Lachie/Lachy
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] - [name_u]Joey[/name_u] (could also work for [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], even [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]?)
[name_m]Robert[/name_m] - [name_u]Bobby[/name_u]/[name_u]Robbie[/name_u]

[name_m]Robert[/name_m] - [name_u]Bobby[/name_u]/[name_u]Robbie[/name_u]
From your list, I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] ([name_m]Harry[/name_m]) and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] ([name_u]Ollie[/name_u]). I find [name_m]Alfred[/name_m], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_m]Richard[/name_m] and [name_m]Reginald[/name_m] very dated, though, but my middle aged dad is [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] and goes by [name_u]Tony[/name_u], and an uncle is [name_m]Richard[/name_m] (no nickname for him, though). [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] as a nickname I too find dated, but not [name_m]Jerome[/name_m] or [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]. Same with [name_u]Vinny[/name_u] and not [name_m]Vincent[/name_m].
[name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] for [name_m]Ozias[/name_m]/[name_m]Osias[/name_m] or [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] for [name_m]Gregory[/name_m]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] for [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]
[name_m]Augie[/name_m] for [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] etc
[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]/[name_m]Raffy[/name_m] for [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Iggy[/name_m] for [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m] for [name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavi[/name_m] for [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
From your list I like [name_u]Alfie[/name_u], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], and [name_u]Reggie[/name_u].
My favorite of all time is [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] nn [name_f]Holli[/name_f] (I know that [name_f]Holli[/name_f]/ [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is typically a girls name but I love it on a boy.)

You mention the name [name_u]Michael[/name_u] with nn [name_m]Mikey[/name_m], but you’ve missed out one of my faves for [name_u]Michael[/name_u] - [name_u]Mickey[/name_u]; as in [name_u]Mickey[/name_u] Mouse.
I have an uncle [name_u]Mickey[/name_u], but I’ve never known another one, so it might be a good one if you want one that not everyone else has.
