Nicknames don't have to be name based. I call my daughter bubblebum and possum (poss).

If you like the name, use it, you'll figure out a nickname in due course.

Nae x
Yeah that!

My DD gets blossom, possum, poppet, princess, baby girl and sweetie. DS gets little man, bubby, baby boy, loved one, little mister and x man (his name starts with an X).

My friend has a DS who is Hayden - he gets H and Haydoss mostly.
