So, I have had fun lately trying to come up with nicknames for some long/challenging names. Can you find the ones I discovered?

P.S. Some names are less obvious than others. List as many as you can find, and bonus points added if you find one I hadn’t thought of. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to list your own names!

Names:
[name_m]Commodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]
[name_m]Mortimer[/name_m]

Bonus! These names are names I haven’t even been able to come up with good nick names for. What can you find?
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]([name_u]Bell[/name_u]? [name_f]Amy[/name_f]?..these nicknames are not for boys)
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m](No [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], and please don’t say Liver)
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f](besides [name_u]Phil[/name_u]/[name_u]Philly[/name_u])
[name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m]
[name_m]Washington[/name_m]

Well, that’s all for now, but I might post more later. Have fun!
