For boys, I tend to like:

  1. One-syllable nicknames with short vowel sounds, e.g. [name_m]Tom[/name_m]
  2. Two-syllable nicknames in which the first syllable has a short vowel sound and the second syllable is an “ee” sound, e.g. [name_m]Tommy[/name_m]

I also love [name_m]Jim[/name_m].

[name_u]Gus[/name_u]. For some reason, it just sounds super likeable.
