First post here, hoping for some help! We have one son named [name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] [name_m]Frank[/name_m]. We have a super common last name, and just found out today that we’re having a second boy. I was like 92% sure it was a girl, so now I’m trying to figure out a boy’s name and feel like I can’t find anything good.
We want the name to be a full name, and then have a nickname that we will use 99% of the time. That’s how my husband and I and our son are. We already know the middle name for this babe will be [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] (family name), and we prefer unique names to more traditional.
I’m having a really, really hard time finding unique boy names that have nicknames, and it doesn’t seem to be something you can easily search. I’ve read forum after forum, and keep seeing the same 5-10 names repeated. Here’s our current list….I would love feedback or suggestions for other names!!
[name_u]Orion[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ori[/name_u]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] nn [name_u]Jude[/name_u] (sadly my hubby doesn’t like this one)
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] nn Hux (I think this is too many x’s with our first son being [name_m]Jax[/name_m])
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]/[name_u]Elison[/name_u]/[name_u]Elias[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m]
We also love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u], but we both have friends who’ve used that name, so it feels unoriginal.
Based on your style, how about:
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]/[name_m]Callan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] nn [name_u]Nik[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] nn [name_u]Toby[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Baz[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Edison[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ed[/name_m]/[name_m]Ned[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
I like [name_u]Orion[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ori[/name_u] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]/[name_u]Elias[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m].
