Little brother for Sonny (Harrison)?

Boy Names
1

I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with a little boy and am looking for a name to go with his big brother whose full name is officially [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m], however we and everyone else call him [name_m]Sonny[/name_m].

[name_f]Love[/name_f] a longer more classic name that they can go by as they get older with more modern, funky nickname.

We love the name [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (Ollie) however that is our dogs name or [name_m]Henry[/name_m] but no cool nickname options so beyond that we are pretty stumped for ideas.

Thanks in advance!

With big bro’s name, [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] nn [name_m]Sully[/name_m] (Sully & [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] is cute) comes to mind.

A few others:

[name_m]Gerard[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] nn [name_m]Gerry[/name_m], Ardy (Sonny & Ardy)
[name_m]Lionel[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] nn Lio/Leo, [name_m]Lion[/name_m], [name_f]Nel[/name_f] (Sonny & Leo)
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Clint[/name_m] nn [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], [name_m]Nate[/name_m] (Sonny & Nate)

Seconding [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] with the nn [name_m]Sully[/name_m]!

I know a little [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] who has a brother called [name_m]Rudy[/name_m], which I think are cute together if you like [name_m]Rudolph[/name_m] for a full name :blush:

How about:

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] (Xander)
James/Jeremy (Jem)
[name_m]William[/name_m] (Billy)
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (Theo or Teddy)
Maxwell/Maximilian (Max)
[name_m]Jackson[/name_m] (Jack)
Edward/Edmund (Teddy, [name_m]Eddie[/name_m], Ed)
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (Artie)
[name_m]Archibald[/name_m] (Archie)
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] (Albie)
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (Seb/Sebby)
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (Joey)
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] (Gabe)
[name_m]Laurence[/name_m] (Laurie)

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites for you from the list above are [name_m]Jem[/name_m] and [name_m]Billy[/name_m] as I think they fit your criteria of fun nickname + grown up name and go well with [name_m]Sonny[/name_m]!

Congratulations!

You could go [name_m]Henry[/name_m] ‘Hank’ which has that clunky cool vibe. However personally I’m not keen on repeated starting letters in sibling sets as you can get pigeonholed into certain themes.

I like the idea of [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. [name_m]Hank[/name_m] is a great nickname.

All of these sound like a brother to [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], and have are least one usable nickname:

[name_m]Barrett[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Grady[/name_m]
[name_m]Norman[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]

I personally wouldn’t do [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] (via Harry) comes from [name_m]Henry[/name_m] :person_shrugging: but it’s probably not a big deal.

Anyway, [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] ‘Sonny’ and…

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] (Benji, [name_f]Benny[/name_f], Jem)

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (Nate, [name_m]Tate[/name_m], [name_m]Thane[/name_m], Neeley)

As a mom to a [name_m]Sully[/name_m] (Sullivan) and [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] (Watson), I have to say [name_m]Sullivan[/name_m] nn [name_m]Sully[/name_m] is a perfect addition! :slight_smile:
