Our son's name is Giovanni, but that's pretty long to say each time!
So I'm looking for some short and sweet nicknames. Please tell me your suggestions!

Gianni (kinda like calling John, Johnny) or Van (like Van Morrison) the Giovanni i know goes by G

Gio is a big favourite in our family too! DH and I often call him GiGi (gee-gee) and everyone hates it. They find it better suits a girl. Is that true??

@Glitter: when I hear GiGi I think of Christopher's daughter from Gilmore Girls. It's a feminine nickname to me. I like Gio! I personally wouldn't use Gianni but that's because I have students named both Giovanni and Gianni and that would get confusing if the Giovanni's were called Gianni also.

My son has a really nicknameable name, also beginning with G, but we call him by his full name. He actually made up his own nickname, it kind of sounds like what he calls my husband and I, all three of us rhyme. We also called him Mr. G or The G or G.

@Glitter: Gio for short and GiGi for fun were going to be my suggestions. GiGi is a bit girly, but seems so natural to call a baby that- baby boy or baby girl.

I first thought Gio but then people said Van and that's my sons name and it rocks too.

I would probably call him Gio or G. If you like GiGi, I wouldn't listen to what others think!
