Nickname Gideon, Noah & Isaiah

Boy Names
1

[name_m]How[/name_m] would you nickname these names?

(PS [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] is pronounced Eye-ZYE-uh in my accent, thankyou! :slight_smile: )

2

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]: [name_m]Eon[/name_m] (said like EE-on, not [name_m]Ian[/name_m]), Gid, Giddy, Deo, Idy
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]: Definitely wouldnā€™t nn [name_u]Noah[/name_u], but some suggestions. N, Noey (No-ee)
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]: [name_f]Sai[/name_f] (Zye), Isy (Eye-zee)

Okay, that was more difficult than I expected. But middles could lead to some more options.

[name_u]Noah[/name_u] is a tricky one to nickname, since I feel like itā€™s already quite short and neat.
My only addition is the nickname of [name_m]Ike[/name_m] for [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] :slight_smile:

Being very creative hereā€¦
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - [name_u]Dean[/name_u], [name_m]Den[/name_m], De ([name_u]Day[/name_u]), [name_u]Neo[/name_u] (a la Matrix), [name_m]Ned[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - thatā€™s a rather complicated oneā€¦ other than the obvious Noey, Iā€™ve seen one ā€˜Nokiā€™ā€¦
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] - firstly I would like to express my love for this name and the pronunciation! (I was starting to feel lost in the middle of all the eye-zay-uhā€™s). As for nicknames: [name_f]Sai[/name_f] ([name_m]Cy[/name_m]), [name_m]Ace[/name_m]?

Previous posters might have already said some of these, but here we go:

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]: Gid, Giddy, [name_m]Deon[/name_m], [name_f]Onnie[/name_f]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]: Isy (Eye-zee), Iah (eye-uh), Aia (ay-ah), Zy/[name_f]Sai[/name_f], Iy
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - I know someone called this and he doesnā€™t really have a nickname, but: No, Nobey, Nobes, N

I absolutely love these names, by the way - I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Wow thanks guys! Iā€™m liking [name_m]Eon[/name_m] & Deo for [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], even though theyā€™re not super intuitive - but it gets us away from the giddiness! I agree [name_u]Noah[/name_u]'s tricky but nicknamingā€™s a part of my cultureā€¦ I think [name_u]Noah[/name_u] might have to be moved down the list. Iā€™d already thought of [name_f]Sai[/name_f] for [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] (which I love) but thatā€™s it! Loving the Isy suggestion!

My cousinā€™s name is [name_u]Noah[/name_u], and even though heā€™s a young adult now, we still call him ā€œNozā€ (pronounced like Nose).

I came across an [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] once who went by [name_f]Sai[/name_f]. Here we say [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] as eye-ZAY-ah, so I think he said like Zay or [name_m]Say[/name_m], but [name_f]Sai[/name_f] pronounced like ā€œsighā€ or ā€œzyeā€ is pretty cool, too! I would do [name_m]Eon[/name_m]/[name_m]Ian[/name_m] for [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], or maybe Gid. I have no clue how Iā€™d nn [name_u]Noah[/name_u]ā€“I probably wouldnā€™t. Maybe Nono when heā€™s little. I feel like thatā€™d age out pretty by Kindergarten age, though!
