Originally my husband and I picked out the name [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] but we stumbled across a problem since there’s barely nicknames for the name leighton that’s not girly! plus my husband really wants a name that has nicknames, so now my husband and I are taking first name and middle name suggestions from you guys!!
(~ if we can’t find a name we like we’re just gonna stick with [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] and our son won’t have a nickname😭)
Is [name_u]Lee[/name_u] too much of a stretch as a nn for [name_u]Leighton[/name_u]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] initial nn LB? (Elbie sounds cute!) I love [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] by the way! Here are some names that give me the same vibe as [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] and Brooks…

[name_u]Levi[/name_u]

[name_u]Riven[/name_u]
[name_u]Marlow[/name_u] (Arlo)
[name_m]Marston[/name_m] or [name_m]Marsden[/name_m] (Mars)

I love some of the suggestions for nicknames ! Especially Elbie and [name_u]Leo[/name_u] ! I will suggest [name_u]Lane[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_u]Leighton[/name_u]
I will suggest
[name_m]Deacon[/name_m] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_m]Kelton[/name_m] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_u]Landry[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_u]Lincoln[/name_u] brooks
[name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
omg love the lennie I never thought of that thank you so much!!
thank you so much this is so cute!
everyone is so much more creative then me but I absolutely love [name_u]Lane[/name_u] thank you so much!!
[name_u]Leigh[/name_u] is obvious to me, i dont think its girly
Le!ghton is my partner’s middle name (he’s Atl@s Leight0n), i like it 
[name_u]Leighton[/name_u] [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] is handsome! [name_f]My[/name_f] grandpa was LB, and I’ve toyed with [name_m]Elby[/name_m] as a nn for a kiddo with those initials myself. I would do [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] nn [name_u]Leo[/name_u] myself, but I think [name_u]Leighton[/name_u] works on its own… [name_u]Tony[/name_u] could also work!
