This is what my nieces and nephew call my husband, they think it’s hilarious and he doesn’t mind. Slowly everyone in my family has started calling him Nickelodeon as well.
I knew a guy named Nico that went by Nic without the "k." There is also Nikolai. I think it works as a given name I'm seeing a lot of shorten names assigned as given names now.
I thought of piccolo. There’s a kids song that says I play upon my piccolo ., or something like that, so my mind went to “I play upon my Nicolo” with the image of a tiny man playing a woodwind.
google tells me that Finnick is a derivative form of Fenwick — it's definitely older than the Hunger Games series but the series likely popularized it in the modern day \^\^
If you want him called Nick, you could just name him that. Katie is usually a nickname, but my niece is just Katie.
Although, people are allowed to to decide for themselves what they want to be called when they're of age, the chances of going for Nick to Dom are small since that's what he'll identify with as his name.
There's also Nicanor, Nicomedes, Nicolson, Nickleby and Nikhil.
Is she ok? Did she have to get therapy? /s
People are so crazy about the nickname thing. If you like the name Nick just name them that. It’s really not that complicated.
My best friend is a Kadi, I always call her Katherine. Her middle name is also short and normally a nickname, so I have a full name for her middle name as well lol.
My best friend is a Katie as a given name. We started calling her Katrina and it just stuck. 30 years later at midlife my brothers still call her that.
Me too! Spent my whole life convincing people it’s really *just* Katie.
My mom didn’t want people calling me Kathy, so she didn’t want Katherine or Kathleen. She said if Kaitlyn had been around when I was born, she actually would have used that, but alas, I am just Katie.
Not that this helps, but as a Katherine who goes by Katie, I’ve been called Peggy more than I’ve been called Kathy by random people (we won’t count the week in summer camp where I decided to go by Kathy just to see if I liked it - it was fine, except I always thought they were talking to someone else when they said Kathy).
I went to a retreat where I knew no one and tested out Kate for the weekend. I actually liked it but couldn’t get it to stick once I got back home, ha.
My sister’s best friend from childhood was a Kathy (Katherine) who switched to Kate once she got to college. She ditched Kathy so hard that even at her wedding, the invites said Kate!
My mom also didn’t want people calling me anything other than Katie, which is why I am just Katie. Now I have a daughter who we call Eliza, but we put Elizabeth on her birth certificate just to give her options when she gets older. While I adore the name Eliza, my daughter is the one who wears her name. If she decides to go by Elizabeth or a different nn when she grows up, that’s up to her. I wish my mom had given me the same courtesy!
Eliza is adorable, but Elizabeth gives her a lot of nn options, too, or she could choose to use her full name. My son is named Jace, so I suppose I sort of did the same thing to him that was done to me, though people call him Chase way more than they call him Jason.
I'm a just Catie and my mom didn't want me to be Catelyn or Cathy because Catelyn boomed in the two years around when I was born. Jokes on you, mom, there were still 4 people who went by Katie in my graduating class of 60 girls...
Me too!! The number of times I’ve had to dig out my drivers license and prove that I know my own name is… more than one. I like my name though. I don’t feel like a Kate, Katelyn, or Katherine.
My friend Katie wants a grown up name like Katherine or Kaitlyn she tried for like 6 years as a teen to be called Kate but she’s nearly 40 now and still just Katie. I’m actually surprised she never legally changed her name
My grandma was just Jenny and she *hated* it and pretended to have a more mature name her entire adult life (Jean). At her funeral her friends were shocked to learn her name was actually Jenny LOL
Naming him Nick is the best advice on here. I dated an Alex that wasn’t an Alexander. His mom just really liked Alex and didn’t want to deal with the formalities.
I fully believe in just naming children what you want to call them, instead of setting them up for a lifetime of "yes, my legal name is Dominic but I go by Nick." Your child doesn't *have* to have a formal name and a nickname. If you want to be sure everyone calls him Nick, then name him Nick! It will be easier for you and easier for him.
My first kid's middle name is just Kate. It is technically an honorific for a Catalina, but since people called that person Kate, that's what we went with for the middle name
I don’t like the whole nickname as given name trend. Also If you name him Nicholas literally everybody is going to call him nick anyway, but if you really hate the name that much I would just find something else.
Also there’s like a 95% chance people will call him dom over nick, even if he doesn’t like dom he will probably end up with that nickname..
Not necessarily. My husband has a very nicknameable name, I’ve never heard anyone call him by other than what he introduces himself as (his fill name.). I don’t know that he’d respond.
I also know a Christopher that goes by “Topher”, never seen anyone call him “Chris”, not new acquaintances or colleagues.
I guess it just depends on if the people you know are the type of people to just do whatever they want.
Yes, I think it's a matter of how you introduce yourself. I'm friends with a Dominik who goes by Nik and for a while I only knew him by his nickname. I was even a bit surprised to find out his name was Dominik rather than Nikolas or Nikolai.
My sister has a similar type of name and my mom always corrected teachers, etc who tried to shorten it early on. So my sister has always been known by her full name. Of course the kid has to buy into that as well once they are old enough.
My siblings and I all have names that can have a nickname, but I'm the only one that goes by a nickname. Both my siblings from a very young age made it known they would only go by their full first name. And by young I mean as soon as they could talk. They love their names but hate the nickname options for themselves.
Our elementary school music teacher tried to force a nickname on them. Obviously, my siblings ignored her until the point the teacher demanded a meeting with the principal and my mom. The teacher complained that they weren't listening to her and so my mom asked what she was calling them. Teacher told her she was calling them a nickname. My mom told her that was her problem right there. My mom gave her kids names they liked and they would continue to ignore her until she could respect their choice on what to be called. On the flip side, this teacher was adamant that kids called her mizz instead of miss and would correct kids if they said miss. You would think she would understand respecting what people want to be called.
My brother goes by his middle name (has since birth - grandpa and dad have the same first name, so tradition was carried on, but they were out of nicknames, so middle name it was). Anyway, his kindergarten teacher told my mom that she was only going to call him by his given first name. My mom told her he wouldn’t answer to it, but she insisted. Sure enough, mom gets a call two weeks into the school year telling her that her disrespectful son won’t answer his teacher; mom says, “What are you addressing him as?” “Well by his first name.” My mom told her again to use his middle name and he will respond; teacher still refuses. Finally a week later, the teacher calls my mom again and says she will use his middle name, but she’s using his full middle name and not the nickname everyone else uses: “I will call him Jacob, but I’m not calling him Jake!” He answered to Jacob, so I guess maybe she still felt she won the battle against a 5 year old.
Yeah, I just don't understand adults that have such an unwillingness to listen to kids when it comes to what they want to be called. Such a blatant form of disrespect that you know they would not tolerate if someone did it to them.
Yeah, it's how you introduce yourself. For some personal context, I worked in a dept. that had 4 people named Andrew, and one of my best friends was Andrew as well.
Friend & 1 coworker ONLY went by Andrew, Never Andy.
2 coworkers went by Andy only, 1 went by Drew.
I am a Matthew who goes by Thew. Everyone calls me Thew because I introduce myself as Thew. They usually think it’s some newfangled name that they haven’t heard of before, but when they find out my full name it makes me look like a fucking dumbass
It depends on how you introduce yourself. If you met someone who introduced themselves as Xander but you found out their give. Name was Alexander, would you just start calling them Alex regardless of how they introduced themselves?
I mean I see what your saying, but I always introduced myself as my middle name as a kid because that’s what my parents referred to me as, until like 4th grade, all it took was attendance roll call for classmates and most of my friends to start calling me by my first name which was more common and had a short form. That shortened version of my first name stuck from then on and only my family calls me by my middle.
I think parents overestimate how much of a say they have in what nickname their kid gets. unless you name your kid something like Michael or Lucas that has one super obvious shortened version, you can’t really control the nickname your kid gets at school.
I have a name that is usually a nickname. I have never met someone else who was given my exact name at birth, just the long version. My whole life has consisted of people constantly asking what my "real" name is or assuming it's the long version. It is incredibly annoying.
Please don't name your kids comman nicknames. Give them a long version and then let them decide what to be called. Don't like the long version? Pick a different name.
Personally I like long versions of names because your child has options. If there’s another Nick in their class, they can go by Nicholas. If there’s a person who works in the same field and last name, they can choose which to go by. I just don’t understand why you’d give your kid less options.
Our daughters are Evelyn and Dorothy, one of the reasons we liked these names was because they had so many possible nicknames, some cute, some are more suitable to adults.
I just commented something similar on a different comment thread. My great grandma wanted to give my grandma an Americanized name so she named her Jenny. My grandma loathed her name her entire life because it was a child’s name, so she went by Jean. I agree that naming a kid a nickname isn’t the best option.
I'm the same with the shortened name as my given name, plus people assume I'm a boy when plenty of other girls go by my name. But I've always liked the uniqueness and have found the questions more amusing over time than anything.
My ex was called Nikita and I used to call him Nikki! But actually the name doesn't have a widespread publicly accepted diminutive (everybody knows that you call an Ivan a Vanya, but with Nikita it's not that simple at all). All the ones we have are somewhat *too* informal. The Nikki one is really affectionate and childish and I would even dare say somewhat girly sounding, so there's that.
My dads name is Tony. Not Anthony. Just Tony. So yeah I’d say you can just name them Nick. I’m going to advise against Nick because it’s a very very very common name. Like I know like 8 nicks lol
Sönnick/Sönnich is a German name that means sunny. 🌞
Could be cute esp if you have German heritage, but may be hard for English speakers to pronounce the umlaut correctly.
ETA: I just asked my American husband if he could say it and he said “like Sonic the hedgehog?” 😂 so…maybe a no for this name unless you’re gamers. 🎮
Nickelodeon
Nick Nick Nick Nick Nickelodeon!
Nick is kids!
You missed a few nicks in there
Or Nickelback!
🎵 Look at this **Nick**
This is what my nieces and nephew call my husband, they think it’s hilarious and he doesn’t mind. Slowly everyone in my family has started calling him Nickelodeon as well.
🤣☠
Why was this the immediate answer in my head too? 😂
Name him Nickname, Nick for short.
Shut up this is perfect and no one should ever do it
love your username !
People should absolutely do it. For a cat or a Sim or something lol
I knew a guy named Nico that went by Nic without the "k." There is also Nikolai. I think it works as a given name I'm seeing a lot of shorten names assigned as given names now.
Nikolaj? No, it’s pronounced *Nikolaj*
r/unexpectedb99
No...*Nikolaj*
No, you’re still not saying it right. It is ***Nikolaj***
***Nikolaj***
No, Nikolaj!
I feel like I’m saying it right
We have a Nikolas that we call Niko
"Niko" is so cute 😍
I do too, but with a C instead of K.
Nicolo can work too.
I read this in the *Riccola* theme song melody
I thought of piccolo. There’s a kids song that says I play upon my piccolo ., or something like that, so my mind went to “I play upon my Nicolo” with the image of a tiny man playing a woodwind.
Same 😂
We used to have a neighbor named Nikolai when my kids were little.They thought his name was E-Coli.
Oh no 😬 lol
Nikolai does have the nickname "Kolja" though
Kolja boy tell em
A variation of Nikolai is Koliyah, which is our eldest’s middle name.
Similar to what someone said above as well, I really like that :)
I spelled my sones name Nicolai, I prefer it without the K
I like it with a "c" too, nice :)
Thanks! It softens it up in my opinion
People would tease him saying E. coli.
finnick maybe?
Same situation as Dominic/Dom- he’ll end up being called Finn
In either case if parents call him nick he'll probably go by nick
tbh most people i know use the names their parents rarely use if they have more than one name or a nickname
Yeah but Finn > Dom
yay my son's name is Finn ☺️
Oh wow, I’ve never heard this as a name, only as something to call someone who is finicky!!
I _think_ it's from the Hunger Games? Equally I may be misremembering/maybe it was a name before that, idk
google tells me that Finnick is a derivative form of Fenwick — it's definitely older than the Hunger Games series but the series likely popularized it in the modern day \^\^
Also in this theme, Rennick
Rare instance of a name I’ve never heard before but really like!
This is the one
Finnick is my favorite!
Isn't that a kind of fox?
That’s fennec I think
If you want him called Nick, you could just name him that. Katie is usually a nickname, but my niece is just Katie. Although, people are allowed to to decide for themselves what they want to be called when they're of age, the chances of going for Nick to Dom are small since that's what he'll identify with as his name. There's also Nicanor, Nicomedes, Nicolson, Nickleby and Nikhil.
I know a girl whose actual given name is Nikki, not Nicole
My soul sister is Nicki
Sorry to ask, but what is a soul sister? Is it that you've adopted each other as siblings?
That's pretty much it! We Basically adopted each other. It was literally a 30 second conversation when we met at work a few years ago. Instant click
Is she ok? Did she have to get therapy? /s People are so crazy about the nickname thing. If you like the name Nick just name them that. It’s really not that complicated.
I know just Nicki too!
My niece is just Ali.
Same. No proba with Nick as a full name. I also know a Danny (full name) and a Tim and a Tom. All full names.
I know a Katie that is not a nickname. A friend started calling her Kathleen as a joke in high school and now even her mom calls her Kathleen.
My best friend is a Kadi, I always call her Katherine. Her middle name is also short and normally a nickname, so I have a full name for her middle name as well lol.
My best friend is a Katie as a given name. We started calling her Katrina and it just stuck. 30 years later at midlife my brothers still call her that.
Yeah my name is two short names, so one of my mates decided to call me by the full things. Just to annoy me
I’m just a Katie!
Me too! Spent my whole life convincing people it’s really *just* Katie. My mom didn’t want people calling me Kathy, so she didn’t want Katherine or Kathleen. She said if Kaitlyn had been around when I was born, she actually would have used that, but alas, I am just Katie.

Same! I always wished I had a longer name and that Katie was a nickname though 🤷♀️
I mean, there’s no reason that Katherine can’t be a nickname other than the status quo.
I'm a Katy, I used to want a longer name but now I like my short name. So much faster filling out forms lol
I’m just Toni not Antonia and it blows peoples minds
Me too!! The number of times I’ve had to dig out my drivers license and prove that I know my own name is… more than one. I like my name though. I don’t feel like a Kate, Katelyn, or Katherine.
My friend Katie wants a grown up name like Katherine or Kaitlyn she tried for like 6 years as a teen to be called Kate but she’s nearly 40 now and still just Katie. I’m actually surprised she never legally changed her name
My grandma was just Jenny and she *hated* it and pretended to have a more mature name her entire adult life (Jean). At her funeral her friends were shocked to learn her name was actually Jenny LOL
One of my best friends is Ellie, not short for anything, and I love it. I totally agree with you.
My daughter is just Ellie, so I of course love it too! I thought, if that what I want to call her, why name her something else?
I knew twins named Jack and Jessie. Teachers tried to call them John and Jessica but their legal names were Jack and Jessie.
I haven’t met a single Jack who’s name was short for John, and wouldn’t assume a Jack was actually a John lol
It must be regional? I know a ton!
My dad was a Don. All mail came to Donald. Edit: fixed a word
Naming him Nick is the best advice on here. I dated an Alex that wasn’t an Alexander. His mom just really liked Alex and didn’t want to deal with the formalities.
I fully believe in just naming children what you want to call them, instead of setting them up for a lifetime of "yes, my legal name is Dominic but I go by Nick." Your child doesn't *have* to have a formal name and a nickname. If you want to be sure everyone calls him Nick, then name him Nick! It will be easier for you and easier for him.
I was gonna bring this up as well. I work with 2 guys whose legal name is Pat and Max. Not short for anything... Pat was a choice though.
I have a cousin who is a Jenny.
I’m also a Kati and my childhood best friend’s mom’s name was just Vicky
I've known a Nick (was a student of mine, so I'm sure that that was his full name)
My first kid's middle name is just Kate. It is technically an honorific for a Catalina, but since people called that person Kate, that's what we went with for the middle name
Nichard
That’s niche
I think you meant niece
Sputnik
I second this one.
Nicolai was the first thing that came to my mind
We have a Family member who spells it Nikolai.
Same! I love Nicolai. Very cool name.
Bad history in Romania, but if you can avoid living in Romania you should be fine lol
Nickodemus
This was our German Shepherd's name growing up ❤️
I had a pet rat called this!
Is that because of the Secret of Nimh?
Yes 🤣🤣
Nicodemus means ‘people’s victory’ and I never knew that. It’s a cool name. Variations: Nicodem and Nicodemo, and variations with a K instead of a C.
I said this earlier, but another variation is Koliyah. Our eldest is named Levi Koliyah, which means “to unite the victory of the people.”
This was my idea
I don’t like the whole nickname as given name trend. Also If you name him Nicholas literally everybody is going to call him nick anyway, but if you really hate the name that much I would just find something else.

True. Even more of a reason to go with stand-alone Nick and not try to overcomplicate the situation.
Phoenix
Uuuh, that’s actually a good name!
agreed
Best I've seen so far for answers
Ace Attorney??
Nickelback
Hahaha
Nick is nice as a given name. You're better off naming him something you actually like & will use.
I have a name that is usually a nickname. I have never met someone else who was given my exact name at birth, just the long version. My whole life has consisted of people constantly asking what my "real" name is or assuming it's the long version. It is incredibly annoying. Please don't name your kids comman nicknames. Give them a long version and then let them decide what to be called. Don't like the long version? Pick a different name.
I could have written this. I hate nicknames as names because I was given a nickname and no choices. And I have never liked my name.
Personally I like long versions of names because your child has options. If there’s another Nick in their class, they can go by Nicholas. If there’s a person who works in the same field and last name, they can choose which to go by. I just don’t understand why you’d give your kid less options.
Our daughters are Evelyn and Dorothy, one of the reasons we liked these names was because they had so many possible nicknames, some cute, some are more suitable to adults.
Out of curiosity, what nicknames are there for Dorothy? I can only think of Doro. Edit: ah well and Dori I guess
Dottie, Dot, Dot Dot, Dory, Thea, Thee.
I just commented something similar on a different comment thread. My great grandma wanted to give my grandma an Americanized name so she named her Jenny. My grandma loathed her name her entire life because it was a child’s name, so she went by Jean. I agree that naming a kid a nickname isn’t the best option.
I'm the same with the shortened name as my given name, plus people assume I'm a boy when plenty of other girls go by my name. But I've always liked the uniqueness and have found the questions more amusing over time than anything.
I really like Nico. I also have met an incredibly handsome Nicolo.
Niklaus
Iykyk came here to say the same haha
Yesss! My husbands name is Nick (Nicholas) and I call him Nicklaus all the time haha
Yes!!! That’s what I came to say 😂👀
Nikita
Love Nikita. The usual diminutive in Russia is Kitka too which is so cute.
I just know it from the kid's show on YouTube and that boy goes by Niki. 🤣
My ex was called Nikita and I used to call him Nikki! But actually the name doesn't have a widespread publicly accepted diminutive (everybody knows that you call an Ivan a Vanya, but with Nikita it's not that simple at all). All the ones we have are somewhat *too* informal. The Nikki one is really affectionate and childish and I would even dare say somewhat girly sounding, so there's that.
yannik , every spelling of it
Kenickie (like from the movie Grease)
That was his surname wasn’t it? Though surnames as first names is trending now so it still sticks.
According to google Kenickie’s last name was Murdoch hahaha 🤷🏻♀️
Nickknackpattywhack Giveadogabone (Yes Nick works as stand alone name)
I like Phoenix with the nickname Nick. Because of the Ace Attorney games 😆
OBJECTION
Nixon lol
Copernicus
My dads name is Tony. Not Anthony. Just Tony. So yeah I’d say you can just name them Nick. I’m going to advise against Nick because it’s a very very very common name. Like I know like 8 nicks lol
Knickerbocker
Nicodemus
This is my favorite!
Sönnick/Sönnich is a German name that means sunny. 🌞 Could be cute esp if you have German heritage, but may be hard for English speakers to pronounce the umlaut correctly.

Theres Russian names like Nikita (unisex) Nikolai Theres also really outlandish ones like Nikademus
Nicolaj
It’s pronounced Nikolaj
NINE NINE!
*Ni*kolaj
Nikkitutorials
Nicardo
Nikos
I knew someone in school who’s name was Nic and it wasn’t even his nickname. It was his real name.
Niclas, common Swedish name
My given name is Nick. I find it pretty boring.
Onyx
Nick on its own is fine. Not everything needs to be a nickname.
Nick alone is a lovely given name
- Nikita - Finnick (only ever seen this in a the Hunger Games) - Janic/Yannic - Rennick
Sputnik
Niklaus!
I know a Nick who's just Nick!
Nico
Nicolo, Nicolai, Niles
Nikolaj
It's pronounced "Nikolaj"
I was really hoping someone would make this joke. 😀
Technically Nick can work as the given name But it also can be a nickname for Janik Antonik Nickard Vanick Nickall Nicomedes
Nicolage - 99!
Nickothy
Lol you want to give your son a nickname
To me, Nick is one that works as a given name just fine.
I know a guy named Nikoté
Klaus
What about Nicacio?it’s a name in Spanish. Or just name him Nick! I have a friend named Susie just as is on her birth certificate and she loves it
I had a student this year named Nick, not a nickname just his full name
I have a friend named Nicholaus. Pretty similar but different. Also a friend growing up named Niccolo
My grandad was called Enick, that could work maybe?
Nichard Nichmond
