How can I get the nickname Rio?

I love the name a lot but I’m afraid it feels incomplete to me, so I’d love it i for you could suggest some boy names that have the nickname [name_u]Rio[/name_u]!

Thanks very much!

You could do it so his first name begins with a ‘ree’ sound and then have his middle name start with an ‘oh’ sound, for example, [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] [name_u]Owen[/name_u] “[name_u]Rio[/name_u]”.
Or
Here are some names thar [name_u]Rio[/name_u] could be a nn for…
[name_m]Ricardo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ricci[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Riordan[/name_m]
[name_u]River[/name_u]

I hope I helped. Also, I hope I was right assuming this was for a boy :slight_smile:

[name_m]Mario[/name_m] or [name_m]Dario[/name_m]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Ilario[/name_m], [name_m]Alvario[/name_m], [name_u]Brio[/name_u], [name_m]Arrio[/name_m], [name_m]Ontario[/name_m], [name_m]Valerio[/name_m], [name_u]Rosario[/name_u], or [name_m]Victorio[/name_m]?

[name_u]Orion[/name_u] or [name_m]Zorion[/name_m] could work too, but they’re a bit more of a stretch.

I assumed it was for a boy, but for a girl [name_f]Arizona[/name_f] and [name_f]Arionna[/name_f] might work.

Thanks!

And yes, you’re all correct in assuming it’s a for a boy. I’ll update the parent post to clarify.

Since [name_u]Rio[/name_u]'s meaning is “river”, you could use [name_u]River[/name_u] as a first name and [name_u]Rio[/name_u] as a nn.

I’ve always thought to use [name_u]River[/name_u] if I end up deciding to use nn [name_u]Rio[/name_u] someday! Two of my favorites!
