    Tay is the only thing that comes to mind and I don't even like that for a nn. IMO, I don't think it is necessary to have a nn. If you feel that you absolutely need one then I would wait and see what nn comes natural after he is born.

    Thanks, yeh I thought of Tay but then again I don't really like it as a Nn.. I could honestly go without giving him one myself, but the thing is my mom and the rest of my family would want to give him a nickname and I have already heard them mentioning Greg or Greggie and thats A big NO!

    I don't really want my little boy stuck with the name Greg or Greggie.. I actually would love to give him a different middle name but I'm doing it for my hubby soo...

    Why don't you wait till he gets here and let the nickname just come. I never understood picking a nickname before actually seeing or meeting the child. Let some things just happen. I don't see the major problem with Greg either, if you don't want them calling him a nn just say so, or deal with it if you don't see them that often.

    I call Dillon my little turkey bird... nothing to do with his name, but IMO nn's shouldn't be planned - you should see what comes natural and what sticks. 
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

    This. All of my daughters have their nn's but none of them was planned. If your son looks like a hamster call him Ham ;)  j/k

    Yeah, our Joseph isn't a Joe or a Joey. He's Monkey or Monk.
