I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_m]Kavanaugh[/name_m] but think it’s a little clunky for a little kid. Any nickname suggestions???
I like it, I would spell it with a C but K works too. Kav and [name_u]Van[/name_u] would be the only 2 nns that come to mind. Cav (Kav, in your case) works great, and is obvious. Very retro and rowdy and boyish like [name_m]Cap[/name_m], [name_u]Cal[/name_u], [name_m]Kip[/name_m], etc.
Inversely, [name_u]Van[/name_u] seems a little edgier, a little more rock n’ roll
[name_u]Van[/name_u] for a simple nickname came to mind, but there isn’t any reason why [name_m]Kavan[/name_m] couldn’t work, because it sounds almost identical to [name_m]Gavin[/name_m]. I think that would be very wearable.
