Just wondering if you think Nixon is too close to Nicholas. Dad's name is Nicholas and I really like Nixon but I am wondering if it sounds too cheesy!

I think Nixon is not too close to Nicholas if you don't use a nn.

Far from it! I think it's perfect. It's wonderful when -son names are used because of an actual family link to the name they're rooted in. You do know Nixon literally translates to "son of Nicholas," right? I couldn't like it more. ;)

For siblings, yes. For father/son, no. I think it's nice.

Just wanted to ditto Kelli here, I would love to see someone use a -son name when its actually true. I think Nixon is an excellent name that just wouldn't work for a lot of people, but here, its absolutely perfect. Go for it!

I don't think that Nixon is too close to Nicholas. I would have never seen the connection had you not pointed it out I'm sure. Good Luck. :)

I do not think the name will be too close to dad's. You could always use the nn Nix. For example, I love the nn Jax for Jaxson. I too will be using a -son name for my son after his father (adam and addison). I think it's wonderful. Definitely a much better choice than Junior - by leaps and bounds.
