Hi everyone! :)

Can you think of any nicknames for the following names? I want something "not-common" (E.g. Victoria = Victoria Beckham = Becks/Posh/Spice. Rory = Rory Gilmore = Gilmore, etc. Not: Victoria = Vicky/Tori. Madison = Maddie, etc)

Thanks so much - I've been having trouble with this.

Names:
Victoria ~ Rory ~ Nicole ~ Benjamin ~ Linda ~ Joshua ~ Madison ~ Logan.

Uncommon nicknames...

Victoria - Vi, Vivi, Tora, Ria, Riri (ree ree, same with Vivi vee vee)

Rory is a nick name in itself, much harder to give a nickname, none the less an uncommon one. All I can think of is Ro or Ri on its own.

Nicole - Coco or Cole? I feel like as its such a common name most people have already found unique nicknames and used them.

Benjamin - Minny, Jaja... :l

Linda - None I can think of :/

Joshua - well, my little brothers name is Joshua, and we have gotten some interesting nick names. Jo and Jay are common ones of people I know, but I nick named my brother Joshy-Bear, which caught on by everyone. Normally I just call him Bear anyways. But I'm the nick namer of the family haha.

Madison - i love Sonny/Sunny as a nickname, which could go off to Sunshine. Di/Dee could work too I think.

Logan... Lo and potentially Ganny or something could work I guess.


Honestly, I think the best nick names are those that come naturally, like my brother or even me (as Remy honestly has nothing to do with my name). Some just click. I think as you got to know your child a nick name would come easier. Even if you pick out a nick name now, it might not suit the child themself, and they might not even like it/want it! I have some general nick names I might use for some names.. Alexandria and Gwendolyn would occasionally be shortened to Andie and Gwen. And even Roman could end up being called Ro when I feel like it. But ultimately a unique nick name all depends on the child:)
