Boy Names

I think the best way to go is to find a name that you like that your husband can use one of his shorter names for.

Something like …
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Poe[/name_u], [name_m]Polo[/name_m] ([name_m]Polo[/name_m] sounds so cool!)
Oslac nn [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m]
[name_m]Julius[/name_m] nn [name_u]Juli[/name_u]
[name_m]Aslan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Axel[/name_u] (bit of a stretch though)
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] nn [name_u]Niko[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Cas[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] nn [name_f]Atty[/name_f], Tic
[name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m] nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m], [name_u]Berry[/name_u]
[name_m]Santiago[/name_m] - [name_m]Santi[/name_m], [name_m]Tiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] - [name_m]Heath[/name_m], [name_m]Cliff[/name_m]

Probably just go for the more unconventional nicknames of names you love. Like [name_u]Nico[/name_u], [name_u]Lanny[/name_u], [name_u]Poe[/name_u], or [name_m]Cas[/name_m].

I feel like [name_m]Hannibal[/name_m] or [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is the perfect compromise name for you guys.

Thank you everyone :blush::relaxed::hugs: amazing ideas! I have northern European heritage and he has southern European heritage (with various accents to consider) so lots of these are amazing for honouring one or both sides… You’ve been super helpful!
I’m loving [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] as well :star_struck: all going on my list.

I love [name_m]Fitz[/name_m]! Started thinking seriously about it yesterday and then saw your list and it confirmed it. I think it would need a ‘long name’ and need to be shortened to [name_m]Fitz[/name_m]

I was inspired to put [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] on the list because of [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] in Pride & Prejudice!

How about [name_u]Jules[/name_u]? Could be a short name, or nn for [name_m]Julius[/name_m] or [name_u]Julian[/name_u]?

Other suggestions:

Bastian / [name_m]Bastien[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Bas[/name_m] or Bash)
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Elio[/name_m]
