My husband really likes the name Kenneth, but I do not like the nicknames Ken or Kenny. Can you think of another nickname for Kenneth?

Also, the same thing with David, I don't really care for Dave.

BTW, we have decided that the middle name will be Edward.

TIA

Pam

we are due in OCT!!!

I don't care for Kenneth and I like David but it's still popular. Why do you need a nn? I know lots of David's who use the full name.

The "problem" with nn is that your child will get them whether you like it or not. I am having the same difficulties with picking names. There are many I like, but stay way from them because of the nick names they can and will be given.

If you really love Kenneth and David and can be sure you will only call them by their full name then do it. But you also have to be ok with everyone else possibly using the nn.
