Warrick?

AmyW216

My husband loves the name Warrick for our little boy.  Im on the fence.  We have a 'W' last name, and I like the alliteration.  I dont think I like the 'rick' part of it.  I realize he could go by Warry?  But Im afraid of people calling him 'Rick' or 'War'. 

Thoughts?  I'd really love to be talked into this name.

I'd have them go by Rick, so not as to have the violent connotations of War. The name reminds me of Warrick Dunn (NFL) and Warrick the amazingly hot guy that used to be on CSI Las Vegas. Both are positive associations for me.

Reminds me of Warwick Castle here in England (kinda a castle turned amusement park). And Warry reminds me or Rory with a lisp.

Yes! I think of the CSI guy as well. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I know people will make those associations.

 

Are there any other one-syllable nicknames for Warrick?  I just feel like a one-syllable nickname is unavoidable.  But my husbands family (brothers and sisters at least) are also known by a one-syllable nickname from their last name (if that made sense...).  So maybe that will be the nickname?

 

Sorry if I sound crazy - I just know that what I name my child wont necessarily be what the child chooses to go by.  So I want to be okay with all forms, ya know?

I think it's a cool name. I wouldn't worry about the nickname situation until long after the kiddo has been born. (We call our DD Anna either Annie or Mo or Monkey... nicknames don't have to make sense.)

That's my only reservation. I keep wanting to say Warwick, not Warrick.  Rory is actually a good possibility for a nn.

SarahPLiz

Maybe you can give him a nn using his middle name?

Not a fan.. reminds ,me of Dionne Warwick and my best friends wedding, if used use as a MN!

Warwick sounds like a last name to me.

I can't help talk you into this name.  I think Rick is the only thing it has going for it.

It makes me think of 1) a warlock, 2) war, 3) a rabbit warren

Me no likey.

Warrick castle = love. I love the place, think the name sounds cool, but I think it's a bit much to have as an actual name. Comic bookish.
