@jhysmath I didn't think of nicknames for our name until you brought it up but now I keep thinking will people call him Jen, which would be weird because it so close to my name. Then Jenny came to mind and all I can think about now is how I want a beer because it made me think of Genny light haha. Also DS1's name doesn't really have an obvious nickname because of how it is spelled but somewhere along the line I started calling him by just the first letter and now everyone does.
@mamaj1220 you are right, first letter only nicknames are easy to come by when nothing else crops up. I was just B for awhile, and I have another friend that is mostly just B currently.
@pirateduck my name has a lot of easy nicknames that could come with it but I have always gone by first and middle name together as a nickname or Sis because my brother couldn't say my name and even though he will be 21 soon, my family all calls me Sis still lol
@m6agua we went with Lincoln partly because MH is so excited about the nn Link He just texted me that he bought some video game themed onesies today, including a Legend of Zelda one.
For the subject of nicknames, neither of my boys has ever had one. However, funny enough, they gave each other nicknames. They took their names and added a long e sound to the end. I tease that it will be hilarious when they’re both in high school because it changes their masculine sounding names into feminine names.
Theyre two years apart in age and I can just see them heckling each other in high school by yelling their childhood self appointed nicknames in the hallways.
My daughter's name is Margaret, for which there are many many nicknames, but we didn't choose to give her one. I'm hoping she doesn't want one as she gets into school, but that's out of my hands.

We like traditional boy names and have had them named for a while. We have James Christopher, David Abraham, and George Sullivan. Our first son is a Theodore that we call Teddy. I do not think I will do nicknames for the triplets other than Georgie. Everyone has a president incorporated as my husband teaches government/history. The other names are family names or locations we are close to.
For @doctorcrime our favorite girl name in my first pregnancy was Rose Ellen which can be a double or they can go by either part.
@catem07 I love Margaret. If we were having girl triplets they were going to be Virginia, Kit (short for Katherine) and Mary Margaret. Still grieving (for lack of a better word) that I didn’t get at least one girl out of four. But apparently I am just awesome at making penises haha
I’m a fan of nicknames. It’s important with for name choice for me. We’re going with Jack which is already kind of a nickname. I’m just hoping people don’t call him Jackie. Jack Jack is fine. Like the little baby from the Incredibles. I also only recently realized that kids could be mean and call him “Jack ass” but here’s hoping he doesn’t get teased like I did growing up.
@sunshinesea22 Sadly, kids are mean and no matter what name a child has they will find something for teasing...or at least that's what I saw while teaching.
@catem07 my stepdaughter is a Margaret. She has nicknamed herself many things over the years including Margaret, Peggy and Meg but seems to have settled on Maggie as she's graduating high school. It's a beautiful and versatile name, as well as being timeless.
@jkr2019 I love your names -- both the boy set and the girl set! 4 is a lotta penises though I have to say 😂
Nickname will likely end up being Cat but I likely will call her Catalina. I think Lina is cute but DH had a bad experience with a Lina so shut it down real quick lol. DD1’s name is Arabella. We called her Belle for the first year but now we just call her Arabella so I don’t see us shorting DD2’s name.

I told MH I would call an Ezra Ezzy but I don't think I could call a Emmett Emmy
