Nicknames for Gideon

Ok we have decided we’re like 99% sure we’re going with the name [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] for baby boy. I don’t necessarily need a nickname derived from his name, but I was wondering if anyone can think of any that aren’t obvious? I don’t really like Gid or Giddy, but have been thinking about just G.

I thought of [name_m]Eon[/name_m] and De.

A bit left field, but would any of these work for you?
[name_m]Jed[/name_m]
Didge
[name_m]Gil[/name_m]
[name_m]Don[/name_m]
[name_m]Donny[/name_m]
[name_m]Den[/name_m]
[name_u]Denny[/name_u]
[name_m]Ned[/name_m]

I think you’re likely to get Gid for [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], so will need to put something else upfront if you don’t want this. Personally, I’d go with the delightful [name_m]Ned[/name_m].

When I came on here over a year ago with hesitation On [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] over nicknames the three the berries kept defaulting to was Giddy, Gidge and [name_m]Deon[/name_m]. I didn’t like any of those and Gid was never mentioned by any one. A year later our current popular nicknames in the family are barely close to his name- all ones my daughter created and we just use. So I wouldn’t worry too much.
