Linus.

minnz · October 2009

I really like this name... love the Peanuts character... But what would be a nickname for it? Or a middle name..?

Boy names are so tough! We find out in two weeks if we're having a boy or girl..:) I have an idea for a girls name, but for a boy, I'm clueless right now.

i immediately thought of peanuts. can't think of any nicknames though... Liney?

Liney LOL. I have a feeling DH is going to veto Linus.

Definitely agree w/ pp: a nn is not a mandatory prerequisite.

Linus is a great name, so why not let him just go by that?

MN suggs:

Linus William

Linus Robert

Linus Gregory

Linus Edward

I guess Lee or Les could possibly fly as a nn, but I don't think you need one with Linus

i love it. no nickname needed.

It's cute, I don't think it needs a nickname.

To paraphrase another Peanuts character..... "ARRRRGHHHH"

Not every name needs a nickname!!! Linus is great as it is. (Coming from someone who's husband is a Peanuts fanatic!)

YES!!! FINALLY!

hee hee! a few weeks ago i posted, asking why no one ever considered linus.

linus doesn't have any nicknames. except whinus, when he's being whiny. :P but we wanted nickname-proof names, so it's a benefit in my eyes, not to have one.

also, looky:

and for the record, my linus isn't named after the peanuts character. he's named for the inventor of the Linux operating system. my husband's a geek. :P and i went to college with a Linus, so I always loved the name.

pea-kay · October 2009

also, my linus's middle name is my maiden name. so no help there. :P

What she said. It's a great name, and it's only two syllables. It does not need a nickname. If you're desperate for your kid to have a nickname, wait until you meet him and see what seems to stick, based on his personality.

Or you could call him Blanket. Wink

Not into nn. I've only ever been called Alison. What's wrong with just Linus? It's his name!
