Does [name_m]Bing[/name_m] work as a nickname for [name_m]Irving[/name_m]?
Any other names that could work as a long form of [name_m]Bing[/name_m] besides [name_m]Bingham[/name_m]?

If actor [name_m]Ving[/name_m] Rhames (born [name_m]Irving[/name_m] Rameses Rhames) can make it work, I thing changing the V to a B to have the nickname [name_m]Bing[/name_m] could definitely work.
Also, [name_u]William[/name_u] does well changing the W to a B to get the nickname [name_m]Bill[/name_m] and no one questions it so I think you shouldnāt have any problems.

I love [name_m]Irving[/name_m], not so much [name_m]Bing[/name_m]. But clearly [name_m]Bing[/name_m] is what youāre afterā¦ I donāt think itās as intuitive as [name_m]Bingham[/name_m] would be, but not too much of a stretch either?

It makes sense to me! The only other name I can think of right now is [name_m]Aubin[/name_m], especially if the middle name starts with a G.

Iām not sure I totally get [name_m]Irving[/name_m] āBingā, but I guess [name_m]Bing[/name_m] feels like a general nickname (like [name_u]Sonny[/name_u] or [name_m]Chip[/name_m] or Scout?) Maybe [name_m]Irving[/name_m] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] or something could work too?
Some others for Bingā¦
Bingley
[name_u]Benjamin[/name_u]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u]
[name_m]Gabin[/name_m]
[name_u]Tobin[/name_u]

Maybe [name_m]Binyamin[/name_m] could work? [name_u]Or[/name_u] a little more stretchy, [name_m]Albin[/name_m] or [name_u]Tobin[/name_u]?

I guess [name_m]Bing[/name_m] works for [name_m]Irving[/name_m]. Iād certainly rather be an [name_m]Irving[/name_m] than a [name_m]Bingham[/name_m] or aā¦ Bingford? But Iād rather not share a nickname with a search engine.
[name_f]My[/name_f] thinking is [name_m]Ving[/name_m] is a natural nickname for [name_m]Irving[/name_m]. And where we live names like Violeta/Valentin are often also spelled Bioleta/Balentin. So it doesnt seem too strange to me. But I wasnt sure if it would make sense outside of our area.
I would vote [name_m]Bingham[/name_m] or Bingley for the most natural full names for someone with the nickname [name_m]Bing[/name_m].
The only way I could really see the nickname [name_m]Bing[/name_m] occurring for someone named [name_m]Irving[/name_m] is if that person had an older sibling/cousin who couldnāt say [name_m]Irving[/name_m] so they just said [name_m]Bing[/name_m].
Additional stretch names:
[name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] āBingā
[name_u]Bentley[/name_u] āBingā
Binxin āBingā (this is a Chinese name I have heard)
[name_f]Beasley[/name_f] āBingā
You could also name them
B-I-N-G-O!

I donāt think you need a specific name to use the nickname [name_m]Bing[/name_m].
The most famous [name_m]Bing[/name_m] I know of was singer/actor [name_m]Bing[/name_m] [name_u]Crosby[/name_u] (born [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_f]Lillis[/name_f] [name_u]Crosby[/name_u] Jr.). A neighbor gave him the nickname [name_m]Bingo[/name_m] at 10 years old after Bingās favorite comic strip. Over time it was shortened to [name_m]Bing[/name_m].
As long as the reason is special to you, use the nickname with any name you love instead of searching for the perfect name to use it with. If you find a name you love that [name_m]Bing[/name_m] would be an intuitive nickname for, all the better.
