@gabhart thank you!!!
[name_f]Glad[/name_f] you like [name_m]Dodge[/name_m]! And Caz is cool!
[name_m]Mac[/name_m] is lovely too!
And Poe!!! That’s great!

@MichelleM thank you!!! [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] is a great spelling too! I’ve never met a [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] or a [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] sadly, only one [name_m]Raffy[/name_m] and one [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]!
I do love [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] nn [name_m]Nate[/name_m] too, and [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] nn [name_m]Gus[/name_m] is inspired!
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] is international and cool - I like it!
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] ‘Artie’ is a great name - alas, I’ve met so many little Arthurs! But [name_f]Artemis[/name_f] is fabulous!
I do think [name_m]Victor[/name_m] is very cool - too [name_m]Victor[/name_m] Frankenstein for me realistically, but I like the idea!
[name_m]Abram[/name_m] is charming! It was nearly on the list!
[name_m]Jerome[/name_m] is kind of cool - I go back and forth on [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] and [name_m]Jameson[/name_m] - especially [name_m]Jameson[/name_m] as my fear is it would become [name_m]James[/name_m].
[name_m]Winston[/name_m] is great! As is [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] - though I’ve used both on guinea pigs!
[name_m]Malachy[/name_m] ‘Mac’ is dreamy :heart_eyes:
Ooh [name_f]Tali[/name_f] for a boy is super cute! [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m] is a Welsh name (said like Tah-lee-ess-in)
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] ‘Kit’ is great too! And Oslo!!!
Your grandpa had a great name :wink:

@Myosotis thank you!!!
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] ‘Kit’ is fabulous! [name_m]Sol[/name_m] for [name_m]Sorrel[/name_m]! Never thought of that - love it!
Arthan is intriguing - never come across it!
and Horatio/Ambrose nn [name_f]Ro[/name_f] is a great idea! and I do love [name_m]Bram[/name_m] for [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]! I wish I’d thought of it for my guinea pig!
[name_m]Linus[/name_m] for [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is very cool! [name_m]Cap[/name_m] and [name_m]Kip[/name_m] are so cute too!

@chelsia thank you!!
Oh, don’t worry! I should know this by now :grin:
[name_m]Castiel[/name_m] ‘Cass’ is pretty cool - my friend was a major spn fan once upon a time, and I do love the sound of [name_m]Castiel[/name_m] but I think of the Mishapocolypse (wow i am old)
I enjoy [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] too!
And [name_f]Tali[/name_f] and [name_m]Taz[/name_m] for [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m] are great!
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn [name_m]Perry[/name_m] is charming and I like [name_m]Ren[/name_m] for [name_m]Clarence[/name_m]!

[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Dodge[/name_m] is honestly my favorite
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] on its own… Maybe [name_m]Iggy[/name_m], but usually I only think of this for a girl
[name_f]Sasha[/name_f] on its own
Caspian… I don’t like [name_m]Cass[/name_m], but I do like [name_m]Penn[/name_m] for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Artie[/name_m] on its own, but definitely not [name_m]Art[/name_m]
none of these, but [name_m]Clancy[/name_m] if I had to choose
[name_f]Torrance[/name_f], no [name_m]Tor[/name_m]
[name_m]Bram[/name_m] on its own
[name_m]Jem[/name_m] on its own
[name_m]Win[/name_m] and [name_m]Wynstan[/name_m], but usually just [name_m]Wynstan[/name_m]
[name_m]Nevan[/name_m], no [name_m]Nev[/name_m]
Rowan… I never really liked [name_f]Ro[/name_f]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] on its own, but I kinda like [name_m]Cory[/name_m] for this name
Neither, but Tez on its own if I had to choose
Peregrine… No nickname for this
[name_m]Kit[/name_m] on its own. I don’t like [name_m]Kurtis[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] on its own
[name_f]Indy[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] is ok for me
[name_m]Monty[/name_m] on its own
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] with no nickname is fine for me

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite options:
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] - It has a hard choice between [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. I really admire the nicknames Rafa/Rapha and [name_m]Rafe[/name_m] for [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m].
[name_m]Roger[/name_m]
[name_m]Nate[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Art[/name_m]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]
[name_m]Tor[/name_m]
[name_m]Bramwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Jem[/name_m]
Wynn/Win - I think I like [name_m]Win[/name_m] a little bit more than [name_f]Wynn[/name_f]
[name_m]Nev[/name_m]
[name_m]Rowan[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m] - A difficult decision. I really like [name_m]Mack[/name_m], too!
[name_m]Taliesin[/name_m] - I’ve never seen Tez before, it’s very intriguing.
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - [name_m]Pip[/name_m] is a very sweet nickname!
[name_m]Pascal[/name_m]
[name_m]Kit[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m]
[name_f]Indigo[/name_f]
[name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_m]Sol[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Sol[/name_m] because it means “sun” in my language, but I’m also a fan of [name_m]Solomon[/name_m]. It’s a great name!

I really adore your ideas. However, I think [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] would be a really cool nickname for [name_f]Indigo[/name_f] and [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]. [name_m]Nate[/name_m] is a great name. I like it on its own or as a nickname for [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], which is a obvious full form for [name_m]Nate[/name_m], but a classic wonder. I also love [name_m]Art[/name_m] as a short form of [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]. Art/Artie could also be options for [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]. [name_m]Maverick[/name_m] would be my choice for [name_m]Mack[/name_m], and with [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m], I would probably go with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. [name_m]Orson[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] is not the most intuitive idea, but I believe it works. [name_f]Winter[/name_f] nn [name_m]Win[/name_m] would be awesome! [name_f]Ro[/name_f] is a marvelous nickname, too. It works for so many different options. [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_m]Romeo[/name_m], [name_m]Roderick[/name_m], [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Roger[/name_m], [name_m]Ronald[/name_m], [name_m]Ross[/name_m] and [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] come to my mind. Would Montain nn [name_m]Monty[/name_m] be too much? I really like it. I would also consider [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] nn [name_m]Monty[/name_m].

I like the idea of [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] nn Erty, [name_m]Ray[/name_m] and [name_m]Rye[/name_m]. In my opinion, [name_f]Lys[/name_f] and [name_m]Ander[/name_m] are interesting nicknames for [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]. For [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Pip[/name_m] and [name_m]Cian[/name_m] are other good alternatives. [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m] nn [name_f]Tali[/name_f] and [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn Perrie/Perry would be adorable. As a nickname for [name_m]Pascal[/name_m], [name_m]Pasha[/name_m] is very fun, but I would also consider [name_f]Paz[/name_f], [name_m]Pax[/name_m] or [name_m]Cal[/name_m].

@25vbrandeberry thank you!! I’m (pleasantly) surprised by how many people like [name_m]Dodge[/name_m]! [name_m]Penn[/name_m] for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] is great!

@Estrela thank you!!
[name_m]Rafa[/name_m] is growing on me quite a bit!
I go back and forth on [name_f]Wynn[/name_f] vs [name_m]Win[/name_m] - sometimes I feel [name_f]Wynn[/name_f] feels more like a full name, but three letter names are also so cool!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] that [name_m]Sol[/name_m] means sun!

[name_f]Indigo[/name_f] ‘Iggy’ and [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] ‘Iggy’ are lovely! Never thought of [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] ‘Arty’ but that’s fab! [name_m]Orson[/name_m] ‘Ozzy’ is very cool and I like [name_f]Ro[/name_f] for [name_m]Roger[/name_m], [name_m]Ross[/name_m] and [name_m]Arrow[/name_m]! Montain/Mountain ‘Monty’ is kind of cool - I mean, I like [name_m]Summit[/name_m] and [name_m]Everest[/name_m], so why not!
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] ‘Ray’ and [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] ‘Rye’ are lovely and [name_m]Pip[/name_m] and [name_m]Cian[/name_m] are so cool for [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]! [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Tali[/name_f] for [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m] and [name_m]Perry[/name_m] for [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]! And [name_m]Pax[/name_m] for [name_m]Pascal[/name_m] :heart_eyes:
