Old Fashioned "Nicknames"

Boy Names
1

I love old fashioned names for boys.
Currently I’m trying to find more names that are typically seen as nicknames (keeping with the old fashioned style). I would possibly use these as actual full names though.

[name_m]Ike[/name_m]- [name_u]Love[/name_u]!!
[name_m]Zeb[/name_m]- Also love, but would probably use [name_m]Zebulon[/name_m] as a full name (if my partner would allow me)
[name_m]Cy[/name_m]- It’s ok.
[name_m]Sol[/name_m]- Heard this the other day and thought it was cute, I like it a bit more than [name_u]Sully[/name_u].

Any suggestions to add to my list? Or full name options that provide cute nn?

Thanks!

I like [name_m]Ike[/name_m], [name_m]Zeb[/name_m] and [name_m]Sol[/name_m]! I’d probably consider them for [name_m]Isaak[/name_m]/[name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] and [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] (okay, maybe that’s a bit of a guilty pleasure name) but I like [name_m]Sol[/name_m] and [name_m]Ike[/name_m] on their own too.

Some others
[name_m]Abe[/name_m]
[name_u]Clancy[/name_u]
[name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_u]Bo[/name_u]
[name_m]Pip[/name_m]
[name_m]Obi[/name_m]
[name_m]Jed[/name_m]
[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]
[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_m]Augie[/name_m]
[name_m]Stan[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Ike[/name_m] and similarly [name_m]Abe[/name_m] as a stand alone name. And of course [name_u]Kit[/name_u].

My first thought was [name_u]Jem[/name_u], so consider it seconded. I really like [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as well. Another idea is [name_m]Ned[/name_m].

You can use [name_u]Mal[/name_u] for [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], though that may sound too much like [name_f]Mallory[/name_f].
I’ve sometimes gone by [name_u]Ricky[/name_u] (via [name_m]Eric[/name_m]), which you can also get from [name_m]Richard[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
