Tips For Selecting A Nickname:

Finalizing on a nickname could be as difficult as choosing the main name. Here we give you a few tips to make the task easy:

1. Shorten The Official Name:

A nickname should be short and straightforward. You can pick the initial letters or last letters. If the name is very long, you can even take random letters from it.

2. Combination Is The Trick:

If you are looking for a distinct name altogether, then opt for combinations. You can combine the first and the middle names or the first and the last names.

3. Try Out Synonyms:

So when you are looking for a nickname for your child, find out the various meanings of his real name. This way, you'll get a beautiful pet name without diluting the meaning of the original one. For example, if you named your child Angela, then any synonym like Angie can be a good option.

4. Hang On To Your First Idea:

If you are a believer in the saying that 'the first impression is the last impression' choose a name based on something that first came to your mind when you first saw your baby.

5. Appealing Fictitious Names:

You can use your favorite character as a nickname. It might be a popular cartoon character or a leading character in a movie or book.

6. Pass On The Legacy:

You can also pass on your nickname to your baby or make slight modifications to that name. For instance, if your parents nicknamed you Abby, then you can choose a similar or rhyming name for your child.

Important Criteria For Finalizing A Nick Name:

In everyday life, it is the nickname by which you will call your baby. Thus, it is important that you pay attention to nicknaming for your wee one.

You should keep the following things in mind before you choose a nickname for your little darling:

1. Acceptance:

In trying to make your baby's name unique and different, don't make it unacceptable for him. The name should be such that even when your baby grows up, he would like being called with that name.

2. No Further Twists:

Do not alter the nickname further into a different name as it will lose its relevance.

3. Simple And Sweet:

It is imperative that the nickname is easy to pronounce and sounds soothing to the ears.

4. Non-Abusive:

A nickname should not embarrass your child in public. Also, it should not give others scope to tease him.

5. Unique Or Popular:

It is up to you to decide as to which side of the continuum you should bend. Making it too unique might make it awkward and sometimes a familiar name might be boring.
