Need an “old man” name to match brothers [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] “[name_m]Gil[/name_m]” and [name_u]Howard[/name_u] “[name_m]Howie[/name_m].”
Prefer it to start with an F to stay in the same part of the alphabet but could use an I name.
Must have a long version that can be shortened with an easy nickname.
My obvious choices are “[name_m]Franklin[/name_m]” or “[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]” but I wonder what else I’m missing. If it’s an I name, I’m considering “[name_m]Irving[/name_m]” but not sure I like “[name_m]Irv[/name_m].”
What other ideas do you have?
There is also a sister named [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] “[name_f]Nora[/name_f]”.
First names that came to mind were [name_u]Francis[/name_u] and [name_u]Florian[/name_u]. There is also [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] and [name_m]Ferris[/name_m].
@VEL suggested [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] and [name_m]Finnigan[/name_m] - love these with your other kids’ names
I do love [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] - [name_m]Frank[/name_m]/ie and [name_m]Fred[/name_m]/die. I also like [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_u]Florian[/name_u], [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] (love this), [name_u]Ira[/name_u], and [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] (I like this better than [name_m]Irving[/name_m]).
[name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] second these names!
[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]/Ivar I adore [name_m]Ivar[/name_m]!
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] NN [name_m]Nate[/name_m]
Ibrahim
I know you didn’t ask for E names but Eugene (gene) or Ernest ( Bertie) would be so sweet
Francis nn [name_m]Frank[/name_m]/Frankie/Fran
[name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ferdie[/name_m]
There’s [name_m]Felix[/name_m] but no easy nickname
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ike[/name_m]/Izzy
[name_m]Isidore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Izzy[/name_u]
Maybe:
Fraser nn “Fray”
Fitzgerald nn “Fitz” “Gerry”
Forest nn “Four”
Francis nn “Frank”
Felix nn “Lucky” (based on name meaning)
Finneas nn “Finn”
Indiana nn “Indy”
