Is it a stretch to use [name]Jericho[/name] and use the nn rio? I don’t like the other nn possibilities ( [name]Jerry[/name] or [name]Rick[/name]) and we’ve had three beagles with the name [name]Rico[/name] - two puppies from litters and the original sire who was a mischievous turd.
I have been wanting to name a son rio forever since I feel that a river is a strong earthy force that is forever withstanding and ever changing, but hubby hears a [name]Vegas[/name] hotel.
What do you think? Can I get away with it?
Side note- my niece is named Conory- and called [name]Rory[/name], which I felt to be a stretch, I don’t want the whispers they got when they announced her name - she’s also never once been called Conory. I intend to call him [name]Jericho[/name] and rio often, it’s mainly to avoid others giving him a [name]Jerry[/name] nn.
Thanks
Nothing wrong with stretching, good for the muscles.
I think it works 
The [name]Jericho[/name] I know went by [name]Jake[/name]. I liked that pretty well. He never got [name]Jerry[/name], which I wouldn’t want either.
