[Opinions] Gibby and Gibby
In the space of a week, I have met two boys called Gibby, at least one of whom had the first name Gibson. I love it immediately, both Gibson and Gibby. I see here that Gib is also a name, which is kind of cool itself. What do we think? Gibby? Gibson? Gib? other full names for "Gibby"?Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

I think of it as a girls' name because I have heard of it as a nickname for Abigail. I really can't picture it on a boy and don't find it suitable on one.

Gibby for Abigail is spectacular! And way cooler than Abby.

I like Gibby, it's like an English public school nickname. Gibby and his sister Bunty.I'm a big fan of Gabriel "Gabby", so why not Gabriel "Gibby"? And, of course, Gilbert would be a darling full name for Gibby. Agape "Gibby", for a girl?

Agape nn Gibby is quite brilliant. Nice job.

I like Gibson and I like Gib as a nn for it. Not too keen on Gibby, though.Since BtN lists Gib as a diminutive of Gilbert, I guess Gilbert and its variants/related names would be other full names for Gibby.

As someone whose last name is Gibson, I would be appalled if someone called me Gibby.

Would you be appalled if someone named their son Gibson?

Preferably not but that is better than Gibby.

My great grandfather had a sister named Gabrielle who was exclusively called Gibby, so maybe Gabriel Gibby?Also I agree Gibson and Gibby are super cute. For other fanciful ideas, how about Gibraltar or Guilbault (gee-bo)?

I hadn't even thought of Gabriel / Gabrielle. That would work for sure.

I hadn't even thought of how cute Gibby would be on a girl. Gabrielle nn Gibby is great!
