Hello! Need some brainstorming on baby n2’s nickname. We found a name we love Nathaniel / Nathanaël but I’m struggling liking the nicknames. Nano was one I really liked but my partner doesn’t « is he an iPod? 🤣 » even though I doubt any of his generation will know what that is 🙄
I’ve googled the main ones and just not a massive fan. If anyone is creative and has an idea that would 100% secure the name id be truly grateful! Xx

I think nicknames should come organically. Choose a full name you love then when baby is here see what nickname they end up with. Friends and family will often end up with their own names as well so if you really don't like the various nickname options then I'd consider a different name 🤷🏼♀️

I have to agree with Rachel. I find it a bit weird to plan a nickname. That comes naturally as they grow up
Completely get that you may find it weird, but lots of people introduce their baby as this or that even though their name is this and all our family asked how they could shorten our first son’s name when we told them what it was so we were comfortable with it. So proposing a nickname which we’re happy with and liking the full name I think is okay too 🤷♀️

A nathanial that I know is called Than for short
