[Opinions] Any suggestions for name with 'one letter' nicknames ..

Hello all,
We are very close to having our third child and can not decide on a name ..
We are trying to think of another name that goes along with the names of our other children.
We did not plan it this way but we call our children Es (S) and El (L), it is the beginning of each of their names and we have grown to really like it, even though I used to despise nicknames for some reason .. Closest we have come up with is Emmerich, which is a little to close to El's name, and no we are not trying to have yet another E name.
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks
NLSApologies, I forgot to mention that it is a boy. :)

How about Jay? There are plenty of boy names that start with the letter "J," or you could always break the trend and call your third child by his actual name. Do you think that the two older children will always go by their first initial, or do they go by their full names at school?

you know, with you already using E names for your first two, I'm afraid your third will stick out like a sore thumb with a different-lettered initial (unless your first two are twins). How about Evander "Van"?

James leads naturally to Jay.

M - as in "Em" for Emma or Emily; or for Emile--more commonly pronounced with the 'long I' sound. I had an Aunt by the name of Emily - most folks called by her nickname "Em" / "Aunt Em".
