Help[Opinions] "built in" nicknames
So my sister already has a son named Peter who sometimes goes by Pete, or Re-Pete as he is a spitting image of our late father. Anyway, her hubby vetos lots of names because they dont have obvious nicknames. So I'm trying to help her make a list of names that have nice nicknames "built in".
So far some she likes are:
Juliet and Annmarie
Oliver and Patrick
