HelpDo these nicknames work?
Or do they seem to far fetched?
Autumn Briana nn Aubrey - I love Aubrey and Autumn and this way I could use both. I love Briana, too.
Aron nn Ari - because Ari is usually not used as a nn for Aron
Aaron nn Ari - Aron nn Ari seems to make more sense. Could it work with Aaron as well? Would you spell it Aari?
Schuyler nn Sky - or would Schuy seem more natural?
Autumn Briana nn Aubrey - I love Aubrey and Autumn and this way I could use both. I love Briana, too.
Aron nn Ari - because Ari is usually not used as a nn for Aron
Aaron nn Ari - Aron nn Ari seems to make more sense. Could it work with Aaron as well? Would you spell it Aari?
Schuyler nn Sky - or would Schuy seem more natural?

Autumn Briana nn Aubrey - sure, I think you could do it ... IF you always called her Aubrey, introduced her as Aubrey, and put that on all her paperwork etc ... I don't think it would work well in practical terms, but in terms of the names it's ok. The full name would get mostly "lost" and be a mere formality. So you'd have to like Aubrey more than either Autumn or Briana, I think.
Aron nn Ari - works as long as the first syllable is the same sound (AIR-on/AIR-ee, AHR-on/AHR-ee)
Aaron nn Ari - works. Aari is fine too, doesn't matter IMO.
Schuyler nn Sky - yep, that works. Schuy is weird. I've seen Schuyler nn Sky but never Schuy.

I like Autumn Briana, and Aubrey is a fascinating nn for it. However, Aubrey just seems too much like a name on its own. It would be like naming a kid Emily and calling her Emma-- just another name. It might work for me if you spelled it Aubri or something more "nicknamey" looking, or something that looked more like Briana.
I pronounced Aron/Aaron like the a in "cat" and "ari" like "starry", so that just seems weird.
Schuyler would work just fine with Sky. Schuy just looks freaky.

All of these nn work in my opinion. And I think that they are great nn choices.
I prefer Sky over Schuy. Though I also prefer Skyler. Schuyler should be pronounced SHOO-ler in my opinion. But I have that opinion since it is a family surname from my Dutch / German side of the family. It's all very confusing since they were from an area where German was spoken but it was part of the Netherlands but near the border with what would later be Germany. They moved to America just a little bit after the Netherlands became called the Netherlands. But after either WW1 or WW2 it became part of Germany so if you went there now it would be Germany. The German pronunciation was SHOO-ler and throughout my family history they have changed back and forth between the spellings Schuyler and Schuler.
I also prefer Ari over Aari.

I think all would work no problem except Autumn Briana nn Aubrey - I'm a big believer in unusual nicknames, but I see Autumn and Aubrey as two separate, unrelated names. So it might be a bit of a stretch. But Ari (spelled this way) is lovely for both Aron and Aaron and Sky looks better than Schuy.

Autumn Briana nn Aubrey - It's not far-fetched at all. In fact, I really like it. I kinda love nicknames that spring from a combination of the first and middle names, especially when both names are chosen because you love them; that way, a little bit of both shows up in the nickname. I have two such combos on my own list: Rose Millicent, nn Romilly, and Lucy Isabelle, nn Libby.
Aron nn Ari - Sure. Not far fetched at all. I don't care for it because I love Aaron/Aron in full and really dislike Ari, but it works.
Aaron nn Ari - Makes just as much sense as Ari for Aron, and no, I wouldn't spell it Aari. I don't think the spelling of a nn needs to 100% reflect the spelling of the proper name. I'd be as fine with an Aaron nn Ari as I would with Catherine nn Kate. I'm an Alison who uses Allie rather than Ali.
Schuyler nn Sky - Same here. Schuy is very unattractive and needlessly complicates what should be a simple nn. Just spell it Sky.

I think Aubrey for Autumn does work very well and it's maybe something more 'normal' to fall back on if she hates the quirkiness of Autumn. BTW I didnt even notice the MN Briana and still though Aubrey would work fine
Ari for Aron seems fine. Im just not a fan and for Aaron. You have to remember that nicknames are usually said allowed so spelling would be unknown anyway
Sky for Schuyler easily

Aubrey works as a nickname for Autumn Briana. If you're open to another spelling, Aubrie would work as well, especially since it has Au- from Autumn and has "bri" from Briana. There's also Aubri, but it looks incomplete to me, so I'd either stick with Aubrey or go with Aubrie.
Aron or Aaron nn Ari - Yes, this works. I would just use Ari even if I used Aaron. Aari looks a bit off to me, but it works.
Schuyler nn Sky - Yes, this definitely works. Schuy looks awkward to me. I think you'd be better off sticking with Sky as a nickname for Schuyler.

I don't like the spelling of Schuyler, but I do know its the traditional (or whatever) spelling. I still think nn "Sky" would work. It may be even more likely to be spelled wrong when spelling the full name though, especially by peers who call him Sky and see "Sky" spelling, but then when try to be formal spells it Skyler.
Aron nn Ari makes more since just due to pn. Aaron nn Ari I would probably want to pn it "Air-ee". Although maybe Aari would look more for the Ari pn. I wouldn't get so caught up in spelling of nn though. I had a friend in high school, Elizabeth, who not only changed her nn every week, changed the spelling of those nicknames every day. It was hard to keep up, but we all just called her our own favorites and spelled it however we felt like it. Point is, the kid will write his name/nn however he wishes, especially once he's in school
Autumn nn Aubrey makes since with the common beginning, but it's a little confusing to me since they are both common full names and it doesn't work as well as say Mckenzie nn Mack or Kenzie (they are all full names, but the nn are easily pulled from Mckenzie.)
