Looking for a Very Particular Name/Nickname
I'm looking for a male name that has a nickname that seems completely unrelated. Think Elizabeth nn Lily or Buffy or Jonathan nn Jace. Most people wouldn't connect the two but they are related and make sense, but if you heard them from unrelated sources you wouldn't really put two and two together. I need a name that is strong as well and goes with the name Matthias (his brother) and the last name Harlow. Bonus points if you can find a name with an awesome meaning. :]Thanks and DFTBA

Nicholas nn Colin or Cole?There's also Peter nn Pierce, though that's a little more obvious.

Seeing Stephen - Teppo reminds me of the option Joseph - Beppo

ThanksThis is actually the closest to what I'm looking for. As you see Jamie and think James and you wouldn't think of the names being related, but if you were told Jamie was actually a nickname for Benjamin you'd get it.Except I just realized it won't work since I have a character named James. -_-But thanks anyways. :]

Oh wow! I love Benedict nn Ned. I have both Benedict and Ned on my PNL but so far I haven't found a full name I like for Ned. You helped me with that. Thanks!

I'm suprised Benedict isn't more popular as an alternative to Benjamin. Although I understand why American's don't really like it because of the history!
