I am at a loss on boy names. I have a girl name picked out and ready to go but can't say the same for boy names. I want a name that can be abbreviated. For example, my son's name is Tucker and sometimes we call him Tuck.
I like the name Hudson...Hud but can't think of any others. I like Shep but don't like the Shepard that goes along with it. What do you think?
Hi H.,
I have a Tucker, too. And yes, we just call him Tuck. For my second son I really wanted to name him Tanner, but hubby wouldn't go for it. Therefore, I'm partial to Tanner, but I also like the Ty (Tyler) and Wes (Weston) suggestions. This isn't a name to shorten, but I met a man named Rhett which I thought was a cool name. Different, but not too out there...very Texan.

My boys are Justin and Andrew. We call them Jay and Andy. I wanted Andy's middle name to be Jack and call him AJ, but that didn't work so well. Jay's middle name came about from my daughter when she was little.
I love Tucker though! And one of my great friends has a little one named Tyler, she calls him Ty.
Hi There,
Congratulations! We have a Tyler that we call Ty and I have also love Gabe (short for Gabriel).
I have a Carter and we call him Mr. Car-Tear (like Welcome back Carter) :-)
Good Luck!
