[Opinions] Declan
Declan was my ex's favourite name but it sounded to Irish to me and what would a nn be? Dec? Deck? I like the name but... the nn problem.

Don't worry about a nn, you don't need one or some just turn up little champ, princess, Molly moo and the name is nothing like Molly, I've heard this a lot with girls of various names
Names don't need a nickname.
I like this and think it’s makes an ok unisex name but I’m leaning toward masculine. There is a town close to where I was born called Declan so I have always liked it. I don’t think it needs a nn but if there was a boy with this name I can see him being called Dec.
I like Declan. It doesn't need a nickname.
Some names can't be viably shortened, so it's best to leave them as is. I'm not a fan of nicknames to begin with, but I know it means a lot to others. In this case, a nickname is out of the question.
