[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!
Recently I’ve fallen for a lot of the “old-man” type names with more modern-sounding nicknames, such as [name_m]Arnold[/name_m] “[name_u]Ari[/name_u]” and [name_m]Norman[/name_m] “Nory.”
I’m looking for a nn for [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] specifically but I’d love to hear any old-man names you can think of!
Thank you as always— the berries are proven to be the best resource in naming history 
Patrick: [name_u]Pat[/name_u], [name_m]Rick[/name_m], [name_u]Ricky[/name_u], Trick
[name_m]Stephen[/name_m]: [name_m]Steve[/name_m]? 
As for old man names…
