Strong boy names that have cute nicknames

General Name Discussion
1

I like boy names that have a strong tone to them that would be appropriate for a 30 plus adult, yet have cute nicknames for babies/kids/teens.

In addition it has to work with the middle name [name]Ellsworth[/name] (family tradition to use this middle name for first son) and last name Hoyle.

I’m stuck because I want something that sounds good yet is still somewhat unique.

Here are some examples of what I like but I’m not in love with them…

[name]Grantham[/name] ([name]Grant[/name])
[name]Carlton[/name] ([name]Carl[/name])
[name]Milton[/name] ([name]Mitt[/name])
[name]Branton[/name] ([name]Brant[/name])

Can anyone think of examples like the ones I provided? [name]Do[/name] you have suggestions that would work good with the names [name]Ellsworth[/name] Hoyle? Anything outside the box is accepted.
