hi!
my wife and I are have our first son soon, and we really like the nickname “[name_m]Prince[/name_m]” (and its variants), but we don’t want it to be his legal name. We were wondering what a nice full name might be (like a longer version), or if there were any names that include [name_m]Prince[/name_m] or [name_m]Prence[/name_m] in it. We’ve been recommended just keeping the name as it is, but we don’t really like the idea of it. We prefer [name_m]Prince[/name_m] as a nickname. Thank a lot!
Although it doesn’t have [name_m]Prince[/name_m] in it, [name_m]Brendan[/name_m]/[name_m]Brendon[/name_m]/[name_m]Brenden[/name_m] (or however you choose to spell it) means “[name_m]Prince[/name_m]” so that could work. Or you could do Princeton if you don’t mind the connection to the university?
[name_m]Just[/name_m] call him [name_m]Prince[/name_m]? It doesn’t have to be connected to his given name.
See this list of [name_m]Prince[/name_m] names:
I knew a girl with the name Prinsley, though I don’t see why it couldn’t work on a boy (it reminds me a lot of [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u]).
Maybe [name_m]Price[/name_m] nn [name_m]Prince[/name_m]
Maybe [name_m]Preston[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], Percius, [name_m]Perceval[/name_m]
Those have similar sounds to [name_m]Prence[/name_m].
More of a stretch but [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]—[name_u]Spence[/name_u]—[name_m]Prence[/name_m]/[name_m]Prince[/name_m]
I think it’s a good idea to use [name_m]Prince[/name_m] (or a variation) as a nickname, rather than a legal name, and I think you could use it a little more loosely—any name that means “prince” or even any name that starts with P. Or really any name, since he’ll be your little prince, after all 
What about [name_m]Princeton[/name_m]?
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] or [name_m]Preston[/name_m] both come to mind. [name_m]Prentiss[/name_m]/[name_m]Prentice[/name_m] or [name_m]Prescott[/name_m] are also possibilities.
For more unusual choices, what about [name_m]Primus[/name_m], Prudencio, [name_m]Prospero[/name_m] (which as great Shakespearean roots) or even the very unusual Prometheus?
I like [name_m]Prentice[/name_m] for this. It means apprentice.
I would use [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] nn [name_m]Prince[/name_m].
[name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_m]Albert[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m]…name him after a prince!
