Longish boys names that can be shortened for nicknames.

**Sam&Oliver** · July 2nd, 2011, 07:23 PM

Hi,
So we are expecting our 3rd little boy and I need your help..
We are looking for a name that we can shorten like our other sons,
their names are, Samuel (Sam) & Oliver (Ollie)... ultimately would like it to also be in the same traditional name sense.
So far we have only got:

Bradley (Brad)
Harrison (Harry)

In our family we have a Thomas, Christopher, Jackson, Tristan, Benjamin.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Being an Aussie, you could pick just about anything - don't all blokes end up with shortened names anyway lol! There are some great ones on the lists already though!
