Looking for boy names that would have ‘[name_u]Gene[/name_u]’ as a nickname.
Considered [name_u]Genesis[/name_u], though it wasn’t doing it for me.
Would love your suggestions ! Thank you !

Eugene comes to mind, but I’m not sure that’s the style you’re looking for

This is a tricky one. …I first thought of [name_m]General[/name_m], but have never heard it used as a name.
Then I started thinking way outside the box and searched online…if you really wanted you could go with a scientist name who studied genes early on. [name_m]Mendel[/name_m], [name_m]Wilhelm[/name_m], etc and call him [name_u]Gene[/name_u] instead. A quite literal connection.

Eugene was my first thought. [name_u]Genesis[/name_u] feels like a stretch to me because it doesn’t have the “[name_u]Gene[/name_u]” sound in it, but if you really wanted it to work, I think it could. [name_u]Gene[/name_u] could also be a stand alone name, I think!
Possible full names but they’re stretches:
Solange
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Tegan[/name_u] / [name_u]Teagan[/name_u]
[name_u]Regan[/name_u] / [name_u]Reagan[/name_u]
[name_u]Keegan[/name_u] / [name_m]Kegan[/name_m]
[name_m]Teague[/name_m]

Maybe [name_m]Gennaro[/name_m], [name_u]Gentry[/name_u], George or [name_m]Sargent[/name_m], although my preference would just be for [name_u]Gene[/name_u] on its own. [name_u]Love[/name_u] its retro vibe!

Geronimo? I agree with @katinka that [name_u]Gene[/name_u] is also great as is.

Gene itself is a nice boys name!
Agreed, was just gonna say this! [name_f]Amy[/name_f] Schumer named her baby boy [name_u]Gene[/name_u], honoring a [name_u]Jean[/name_u]. It’s so cute on him!

When I saw the title I though you meant names that would inevitably have a nickname- 
What about [name_m]Jennings[/name_m]?
