Donovan Don, Donnie

in Baby Names
We are due on my Grandfather's birthday, his name was Donald.

He passed away last year we were very close.

Donovan has floated in the back of my mind as an option.

Not sure about the NN of Don or Donnie.

    I love the sentiment but I don't like the name, and I really don't like the nicknames. I would just use Donald as the middle name if possible. Or what was your grandpa's middle name? Do you like that?

    I went to school with a Donovan and he didn't have a nn. Though his brother's gf did call him DonDon the BonBon. He hated that...haha

    Donovan is nice. I don't love Don or Donnie, but I think they could definitely grow on me.

    ETA: If this baby is a boy we are either going to use my g-pa's FN as the FN or use my g-pa's LN for the baby's MN. The nice thing about that option is tha

    I love Donovan. Van or Vin would work as NN.

    I just had a friend name her boy Norman - and he's rocking it! Go for Donald if you want - he'll grow into it.

    With our DS  my DH really loved this name-  we were going to call him Van as a nn.   My only drawback was I really disliked Donny  and was afraid I wouldn't be able to control it.     Looking back now I th

    I grew up with a Donovan. He never went by a nn derived from Donovan. I don't think it needs a nn but Vin/Vinnie isn't terrible.

    Victor is also nice.
