Question by Joey: Can you list all the nicknames you can think of for these names?
I’m not a big nicknamer. I’ve tried to choose names that won’t automatically be nicknamed, but I realise that I can’t help it if people want to nickname, so I want to try and push my preferred nickname onto people who might choose not to use the real name, for example, I love Madeline but absolutely couldn’t abide anyone calling my daughter “Maddy”, so I would push “Ellie”if they really couldn’t be bothered with that extra syllable.
I am NOT asking what you think of the names, and frankly, I don’t care. These are all normal and acceptable where the child will be raised.
1.James Magnus
2.Thorfinn Harvey
3.Skyler Elliot
4.Mackenzie Jasper
5.Hamish Alasdair (HAYmish, no one in their right mind honestly thinks this is “ham”, so you can leave that one right out, that’s just leaking your stupid all over my son)
1.Garnet Amelia
2.Blaize Evelyn/Madeline
3.Roxanne Isabella
4.Primrose Alexis
5.April Victoria/Evangeline

Jim, Jimmy, Jamie, depending on his surname it could be something like JB or JW,
Thor, Finn
Sky
Mac, Ken, Kenzie, Kenzo, Zee?
I think they might get some “Scottish” nn, like Jock or something, if they lived in England or possibly Wales. Other wise it would just be Hay, or they could call him David, but that might just be my weird/eccentric friends.
I don’t know/can’t see any apart from the obvious “Gar”
Blaize is all one syllable to me? Blay?
Roxie, Ann, Annie maybe
Prim, Rose, Rosie
Ape

They could go by their middle names as well, but I hate when people do that lol.
Nice names. Hope I helped.

If I seen James Magnus, I’d probably go for Mag. Finn for Throfinn. Sky for Skyler. My brother’s name is Mackenzie and we called him either Mack or Kenzie. Hamish Alasdair would hear Ace a lot.
Garnet sounds like a Nettie OR Mia name. Blaize wouldn’t really have a nickname. Roxanne (Which I love) might sound like a Roxy oe Annie to most people. Primrose would be inevitably be called Prim, thanks to the Hunger Games. April would only get Ape, but only people that are really stupid would call her that.

1. Jamie
2. Finn
3. Sky
4. Mack
5. Hames
1 Gar/Garny
2. Blaize doesn’t need a nickname except maybe Bee Zee? Blaize is short enough but maybe you could call her by her middle name and nickname her Evvy

I think if you are trying to avoid nicknames your best choices are Haymish and Garnet, Blaize or April.
My mum hated nicknames and names us all names that didn’t have any nicknames but 2 of us ended up getting completely unrelated nicknames that stuck. I love nicknames so I wanted one. Your kids may be the same and as much as you push one option..they may want another! So I would keep an open mind.

Well, I am a firm believer of using nicknames that relate to the first name only unless they are initials. Though – my family tends to use nicknames for personality instead of our names. (i.e. Lucky)
So, here are a few I chose for your names. Some you might not like (I don’t even like a lot of them) …. but maybe there is a gem in there. Tried to think of every combo, though sure I missed some:
1. James Magnus – Jim, Jimmy, Jamie, Jake, Jack, Jay, Jem
2. Thorfinn Harvey – Thor, Fin, Hoff, T, Orf, Thorf
3. Skyler Elliot – Kyler, Lee, Skye, Skeet (used middle name)
4. Mackenzie Jasper – Mac, Ken, Mic, Kenny, Kenzo, Cheech
5. Hamish Alasdair – Haymes, Mish, Misha, Hash
1. Garnet Amelia – Gigi, Nettie, G, Ari, Ettie, Etta
2. Blaize Evelyn/Madeline – Bea, Zee, Baz, Aizy, Izzy, Bay,
3. Roxanne Isabella – Roxy, Roz, Rox, Annie, Ann, Ren
4. Primrose Alexis – Pea, Ima, Rose, Rosey, Riss, Mimi, Cici
5. April Victoria/Evangeline – Pril, A.V. Ril
Hope those help!
