Hi all!
Hope you’re well!
In this week’s edition of Let Us Name Your Baby, Chelsea is looking for the perfect name to match with big brother Osric ‘Ozzie’.
It needs to be old-school, dark academia, literary, unique and nerdy, with a cool friendly nickname!
So, what would you consider as a brother for Osric ‘Ozzie’?
And, as a bonus, what sister names would you pick?
Any time I can plug [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], I will!
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] “Ro”
[name_m]Bramwell[/name_m] “Bram/Wells”
[name_m]Caledon[/name_m] “Cal”
[name_m]Zephyr[/name_m] “Zeph”
[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_m]Artemas[/name_m] or [name_m]Artemus[/name_m] nicknamed [name_m]Artie[/name_m] / [name_m]Art[/name_m]!
Other ideas: [name_m]Evander[/name_m] “Van” or “Evan”, [name_m]Theomund[/name_m] “Teddy” or “Theo”, [name_m]Tybalt[/name_m] or [name_m]Tycho[/name_m] ‘Ty’, [name_m]Horatio[/name_m] ‘Ray’, [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] / [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] “Archie”, [name_m]Prospero[/name_m] ‘Perry’, [name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m] “Heath”, and [name_m]Quintus[/name_m] ‘Quin’.
I also love [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] ‘Iggy’ and [name_m]Sigmund[/name_m] ‘Ziggy’ from the article’s suggestions - I started typing my answer before reading it and was going to suggest these two!
I also thought a few names like [name_m]Tristan[/name_m], [name_m]Lionel[/name_m], [name_m]Gareth[/name_m], and [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] work with both [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] and [name_m]Osric[/name_m], thought they don’t fit the full name / nickname pattern.
[name_m]Dexter[/name_m] nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m] 
One thing that strikes me about Osric “Ozzie” is that (it sounds like??) he goes by Ozzie - rather than being Osric sometiems called Ozzie. This makes me think we should be working backwards! Instead of nicknames for medieval names: What dark academia names work with cool trendy nicknames?
Archibald “Archie”
Augustine / Augustus “Gus” / “Augie”
Bartholomew “Bo”
Benedict “Ben”
Cassius “Cash”
Edgar / Edmund / Edward “Eddie” / “Teddy” / “Ned”
Ernest “Ernie”
Felician “Felix”
Ferdinand “Freddie”
Francisco “Frankie”
Hartigan “Hart”
Horatio “Harry”
Ignatius “Iggy”
Leander / Leopold “Leo”
Lucian / Lucius “Lou”
Lysander “Lyle”
Montague “Monty”
Oberon “Bear” / “Obie”
Orlando “Lando”
Percival “Percy”
Phineas “Finn”
Raphael “Rafe”
Reginald “Rex”
Valentine “Lenny”
Willoughby “Will”
Wulfric / Wolfgang / Woolf “Wolfie”
Ambrose is a perfect idea here! Ro is lovely!
Also enjoying Bramwell and Zephyr!
@EagleEyes Artemas and Artemus are brilliant - and Artie!!
Heathcliff ‘Heath’', Horatio ‘Ray’, Archimedes ‘Archie’, and Prospero ‘Perry’ are great - especially Prospero!
I agree Lionel, Tristan, Emrys and Gareth work! Maybe nn: Leo or Lenny for Lionel? Gray for Gareth?
@user10 Dexter ‘Dex’ is very cool!
this is a very good point! Edgar ‘Teddy’, Leander ‘Leo’, Lucian ‘Lou’, Montague ‘Monty’, Orlando Lando’, Oberon ‘Bear’, Valentine ‘Lenny’ and Reginald ‘Rex’ are great! Especially love Montague ‘Monty’! And I’m thinking Orlando ‘Anders’ or even ‘Arlo’!
With Osric ‘Ozzie’, I’d consider:
Ferdinand ‘Finn’ or Thorfinn ‘Finn’
Baudelaire ‘Bo’ or ‘Bodie’
Crispin ‘Kit’ or 'Kip
Caedmon ‘Cade’
Marcellus ‘Mars’
Aramis ‘Ari’
Benvolio ‘Bo’ ‘Benny’ ‘Leo’
Caradoc ‘Rocco’
[name_m]Percival[/name_m] “Percy” and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “Theo”.
[name_m]Osric[/name_m] is just incredible, and [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] is so fun and sunshiney.
I would just have to choose [name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Zigmund[/name_m]. [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] & [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m].
Other ideas
[name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Artem[/name_m], [name_m]Artan[/name_m], [name_m]Artair[/name_m], [name_f]Artemis[/name_f]
[name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] & [name_m]Art[/name_m]
[name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Finlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] & [name_m]Fin[/name_m]
[name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Torquil[/name_m]
[name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] & [name_m]Tor[/name_m]
I feel like [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] & [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] would be a super cute sibset.
So any long name that could lead to [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] would be my suggestion.
[name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Fitzroy[/name_m], [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] etc…
[name_m]Or[/name_m] [name_m]Fritz[/name_m]? [name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Fritz[/name_m] sounds super cute. A longer name for [name_m]Fritz[/name_m] could be [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] which honestly is a very cute name, especially with the nn [name_m]Fritz[/name_m] 
[name_m]Osric[/name_m] & [name_m]Frederic[/name_m] (Ozzie & Fritz) 
Good luck with your search!
@marysia [name_m]Percival[/name_m] ‘Percy’ and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] ‘Theo’ are brilliant! It might be a stretch but [name_m]Percival[/name_m] ‘Sal’ would be pretty cool too maybe?
@Julie_NameNerd [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] with [name_m]Osric[/name_m] is brilliant and [name_m]Bram[/name_m] 
@columbiacharm [name_m]Zigmund[/name_m] ‘Ziggy’ does feel perfect!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] the idea of [name_m]Art[/name_m] - and [name_m]Artair[/name_m] is gorgeous! And Torquil!!
@Kjh446 yes, [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m] and Fitz!! Maybe [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] for the literary vibes too?
