HelpRe: Nickname solution?
in reply to a message by notjustmeanymore
So are you considering Enitan Hugo as a combo?
I do like the connected dots you have between Hugo and Shug/Shuggie. I will say that I imagine most guys I know would not be happy if Shuggie stuck around in common usage into adulthood. I'd hesitate to plan on that, and actually consider it lasting as a possible bad side effect. I'd be concerned it would fade out and then you'd be back with their similar first names.

No, the 3-syllable middle name is a nod to my son's father (since he's getting my 1-syllable surname) and I'm pretty locked into that. So Shug would truly just be a pet name, like I'm Auntie Kitty in only that context. But, I appreciate your caution of this little boy nickname accidentally sticking around ... Since this is not a naming convention in my family at all, I don't really know what to expect.
I want Enitan to be his name, and what he's called, I'm just trying to come up with a solution for the two times a year he'll be with his cousins. Eitan is 14 years old, so the age gap should mean it's much less of an issue in the not too distant future.
