Baby Names

nickname for Griffin?

someone recently told me that its "Finn" which I dont like b/c thats the last name of my ex!! But, I really like Griffin...any other nickname suggestions?

Re: nickname for Griffin?

  • I wouldn't think Finn as the first nn to come to mind. I would think first of Griff... but wasn't that the name of the bully in back to the future?
  • my brother's name is Griffin and we call him Griff a lot-  LOVE that name

    It was Biff.

     

    I really like Griffin, and I wouldn't think of Finn as a nickname right away, but I actually kind of like it!

  • i think nicknames should come naturally. i say wait until he gets here and see what you call him, rather than trying to plan it in advance.

    (that said, i like finn waaaaaay better than grif.)

  • Gryffindor!  Hehe, not much of a nn since it is longer but I would call him that.
  • I'd say Griff, but I bet I'd call a baby/little kid Griffy (we call DS Natey, which we never intended on doing, but that's just what happens).
  • I like Finn.  But I'd probably use G for a nn b/c that's my tendancy.  DH is J, dog is B.

    I think Griff might have been the bully in the 3rd movie actually!

    I literally just thought, "there was a 3rd movie??" LOL!

    ETA: According to my old friend IMDB, there was definitely a third, but still...no Griff.  Just Biff.

  • Griff, Griffy

    Finn would make sense, but isn't the first I'd think of

    Ah, I love IMDB. And actually I was confusing the 2nd w/ the 3rd. The 3rd is when they went to the west. Not my favorite.

     Sing it, sister! They should've stopped after 2, IMO Stick out tongue

  • Yes, "Griff" was in BTTF 2, set in the future 25 years. Griff was Biff's grandson, I think?

    Regardless, here is a Wiki entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griff_Tannen

    Griff is in the 2nd movie.  https://www.imdb.com/character/ch0041857/  Griff is Biff's grandson who picks on Marty's future kid.

     

    And I totally like Griff, Griffy, Griffendor, etc.  I think it's great.

     

     

    Ken Griffey Jr?  Was that a baseball guy?  (I know, I should just google it.)

  • i know a Griffin, and he goes by Griff a lot. Finn is weird IMO.

  • NN options are Griff, Griffy and Finn.  If you don't want him called that then just call him Griffin.  But if you do have future children, be prepared that they may shorten his name themselves.  I have an Aidan and his brother started calling him A-dee, so now it has started to be his NN, defintely not on purpose!  Let NNs happen naturally, you may end up with a cute story one day!
