Names for nicknames

AmyLaurel89

I am still in the brainstorming phase as I don't know the gender of my baby just yet. I have a fondness for names that lend to sweet nicknames. I am not talking about Andrew for Andy. I mean that my SIL is Victoria and her father calls her "Vu". Its not the sole determining factor for names making my list, but I definitely weigh the option of a name considering the pet names that I might use. On example is the name Charlotte and "Leta" or "Lotty". My father called me "Amilie" often rather than Amy.  

Am I totally alone on this? Is it weird to think about?

Im a little confuse as to what your saying. My name is Anna, but my whole life my dad has only ever called me Lovey

I think cutesy NNs come after you "meet" your child?  My DD has a bunch of NNs but none of them have anything to do with her FN.  I know too many Kates/Katies already and she's 3 so Kathy seems too old for her. 

I'd not be obsessing over it in this stage.  Find a name that the child can grow with, since at some point they'll be an adult.

I see what you mean - my husband loves initial names, so he always tries to pair first names we like with middle names that lend themselves to initials (for example, he likes Cady Joy because she could be CJ).
