We’ve got around 5 weeks now until our baby is due, and we’re still pretty undecided about his name. We’ve been playing with [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Luca[/name_u]’, [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] ‘[name_m]Raphael[/name_m]’ and [name_m]Bastien[/name_m] ‘[name_m]Baz[/name_m], but none feel like’ the one’. We both really like Thorfinn ‘[name_u]Finn[/name_u]’ but got mixed reviews here and completely negative opinions irl, so we may use it as a middle name, or possibly [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. This will be my only child, so I want his name to be perfect.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] is another name we’ve been talking about recently as both of us really like it, but we want to use a nickname, and it doesn’t really have an obvious one. Have you got any suggestions for a nickname? It would be a plus if it went with older brothers names [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m], but not a must.
First of all, I have to say [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and (Thorfinn) [name_u]Finn[/name_u] make an incredible sibset.
What about [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a nickname? Maybe a bit of a strech, but [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] sounds pretty good.
Also [name_f]Doria[/name_f], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_f]Dodo[/name_f], [name_u]Ori[/name_u]/[name_m]Ory[/name_m].
I would go straight to [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as it is a strong, handsome name. I also like [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. Maybe [name_u]Finley[/name_u] would be a good full name and would be intuitive as shortened for his nickname of a [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
another here thinking [name_u]Rory[/name_u] works well! I also like [name_m]Donny[/name_m]/[name_m]Donnie[/name_m] and [name_u]Dory[/name_u]/[name_f]Dori[/name_f] but some might find [name_f]Dori[/name_f] too feminine? (I think it’s pretty neutral personally.)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], and [name_m]Donny[/name_m]/[name_m]Donnie[/name_m] is my favorite personally.
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] works. As does [name_u]Dory[/name_u], [name_m]Ian[/name_m] or [name_u]Rian[/name_u] (though it would be pronounced the same as [name_u]Rhian[/name_u], which is feminine). You could him him Dor/[name_m]Daw[/name_m]. Or just [name_f]Dee[/name_f], or his first and middle initial, depending on what it is
Personally I think that [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] doesn’t go very well with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. One nickname that could work is [name_u]Rory[/name_u], but I feel like [name_u]Dory[/name_u] is the first one that comes to mind and there’s always the Finding [name_m]Nemo[/name_m] connotation with that one, unfortunately.
I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] as a sibset! However, I’m not a huge fan of Thorfinn–in my opinion, I prefer just [name_u]Finn[/name_u] with no longer set. My favorite of your names is [name_m]Lucian[/name_m]/[name_u]Luca[/name_u], it’s a beautiful name and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] sounds great with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. Best of luck!
