[Opinions] Nicknames for Faramir

Can you all think of any nicknames for a man named Faramir? It's for a character, and I'm positive I'm not going to change it but I'd like him to have a nickname from when he was a boy. I've come up with Fars and Fam so far, but neither really fit. Can you all help me come up with some more?

That might be hard. Fara and Miri sound too girly. Faro might work.

Is he named after Faramir from LOTR?

I'd probably just go for Fara or Mir/Amir. Most likely Fara. Maybe Ramir or something else with the Ram sound? Faram? Idk, I still like Fara. It might look girly, but I can totally see it on a dude.

As in brother to Boromir (Tolkien)?

What about Rama (like Rama and Sita)? Though I like Faro as others have mentioned below.

Faro (like pharaoh) is all that comes to mind.

That means 'lighthouse' in Spanish

It's sort of a GP of mine as a boys name.

Would be perfect if the character is a red-head :D

Cool

I think that makes it extra neat. :)

In Portuguese, too

There is a city called Faro in the southernmost part of Portugal.

I wouldn't use Fars, since it sounds like 'farce'..

I'd naturally say "Fara" or "Fare/Far".

What bugs me about Faramir is precisely the absence of nicknames. Farrah and Mir are both gender-benders and anything else seems forced.

Amir is the first thing to come to mind but, if you aren't wanting a "real" name tied to a specific culture, maybe Fram, pronounced "FRAHM", similar to Bram for Abraham? Ram "RAHM" or Rami "RAHM-mee"?
