To preface this, I’m not pregnant nor are we TTC, but I do like to plan ahead.
So we were discussing names and I have always been super fussy and stubborn about names, so when he turned out to be even more so, I realised there’s going to have to be some compromise on both ends.
One of his favourite girl names is [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], which he let me vito, and his other favourite is [name_f]Vi[/name_f] (pronounced Vy) which I think needs a longer name with that as the nickname. We’ve compromised with [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] topping the list. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is another of his favourite (and one that I really like).
So girl names are covered and it’s the boy name that I’m trying to work with.
His absolute favourite is [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u], which I do like, just not really on a baby/child. He really doesn’t want to shake off it, so I’m trying to come up with nicknames that ARE NOT [name_m]Carl[/name_m].
I thought [name_u]Lyle[/name_u], and then [name_m]Ly[/name_m] from there, but then we would have [name_f]Vi[/name_f] and [name_m]Ly[/name_m], which is a bit much for me! Are there any alternative nicknames for [name_u]Carlisle[/name_u] that you can think of?
If it helps, boy names that I love include:
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] (yes, a lot of E names!)
[name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_u]Carson[/name_u] (which is actually second on our list)
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] (can’t use due to my nephew having the name)
[name_m]Kellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Kiran[/name_m]
