We’ve decided on [name]Ford[/name] for the first name of baby #2 (due Aug 15) but as we’re both avid nicknamers we’re a tiny bit concerned at the lack of immediate nicknames. We do not like “Fordie” and are kinda stumped on other options. I know nicknames will just come and we can’t plan for them, but we’d love to hear a few ideas to really help us adore this name.
[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ford[/name] it was my first choice if we had a boy (we had a girl). I don’t think you are getting a nickname out of it though my friend. If you are both avid nicknamers the nickname will come naturally from some adorable thing your baby does.
Doesn’t need one. Short as is.
You’re going to have to be creative if you want to get anything out of [name]Ford[/name]. Maybe too creative. Play around with the meaning.
[name]River[/name]
[name]Rio[/name]
[name]Wade[/name]
[name]Po[/name]
[name]Arno[/name]
[name]Como[/name]
There’s not much you can do here, honestly. Any nicknames your son has will most likely be completely unrelated to his name. [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Clifford[/name] any? You could call him [name]Ford[/name] and quench that nickname appetite.
I immediately thought of [name]Henry[/name] ford and the car company. What about calling him something related to that? Your little mustang? Haha. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help!
I like this idea! And I love [name]Ford[/name]!!
My cousins name is [name]Ford[/name]. We never called him Fordie. When he was a baby we sometimes called him Fo’. Now we sometimes call him Fordson.
What about Foz? In the same vein of [name]Gary[/name] - gaz, [name]Barry[/name] - baz, [name]Ford[/name] - Foz!
As an avid nicknamer myself, I know where you’re coming from. Most of my daughter’s nicknames come from her middle name. Have a few suggestions for [name]Ford[/name]'s nicknames:
For
Or
Ord
Ordie
[name]Orrie[/name]
Fod
Foddie
Forrie
Nicknames will also come naturally from your lastname.
Wow! Thanks everybody for the name support. I feel even better about the name now than ever.
