Lol! Bless your heart! My Nan used to say “parents pick their child’s name but their friends will choose what to call him” And so far, I’ve found that to be true! Nearly every name can be shortened and short names are often repeated or get an “ie” added to the end of them, making them (sometimes unfortunately ) “cutesie” :/ Emerson (is Sonny) Harvey (Harv) Crew (Crewie, crew-crew-I know a guy with this middle name dilemma) Milo (Lo) Archer (is Archie, Prince Harry’s baby and one of the most popular names out now ) Charlie (or Charles is often Chuck-Peppermint Patty always called Charlie Brown “Chuck”, lol) And Zane (Zanny) My point is not to deter you, but to encourage you: That whoever your little bundle of joy comes out to be will be amazing and will likely have friends and loved ones who will _eventually and affectionately_ “rename” him, lol. And not because the name is even particularly long or so tiring that it must be shortened, but rather it’s simply a show of camaraderie, affection and acceptance, especially in youth. So unless you intend to follow him around on the playgrounds, the school halls and cafeterias, the teen hangouts and the college campuses of his life, following his girlfriends and his someday wife his _whole_ life, constantly correcting and instructing those around him _not_ to call him this nickname or that, then you’re just gonna have to come to terms with nick names. They’re just _a thing,_ ..part of growing up..and mostly they’re ok:) He’ll always be whatever you named him-both to his parents and on every legal document, lol. So don’t let the possibility of nicknames trip you up too badly. It’s part of life and you may even come to love the name yourself:) Best of luck and congrats!

I feel like you might like the names Grant or Graham since they cannot be shortened and he can grow with them. For some reason I'm really drawn to a G name for you!

I’m only 12 weeks but I’m having a hard time choosing a boy name. I don’t like a lot of them due to people who’ve done me wrong or people I know. It’s hard enough having Paul for a middle (after my grandpa) but having a friend who’s name is Paul lol. Also trying to have the name flow together too. 😩
