Three-Syllable Boy Name with Two-Syllable Nickname?

Boy Names
1

What are some three-syllable boy names with two-syllable nicknames that you love? We’re looking for a name for our son to be born at the end of February (!) and are having a hard time choosing a name. I love the way a three-syllable name sounds with our two-syllable hyphenated last name.

These are the 3-syllable/2-syllable names on our list:

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] nn [name_m]Harry[/name_m]
[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] nn Auggie
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] nn [name_m]Eli[/name_m]

Which ones do you like and can you suggest any more?

[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] “[name_u]Sully[/name_u]”
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m] “[name_u]Ali[/name_u]”

We have the same taste in names- my sons name is [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] “[name_u]Ollie[/name_u]” and expecting [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] “Seba”

Good luck!
