My son's name is Mordechai, and I said at the time, for a name that has more nicknames than most, the only one I like is Mordechai LOL it's a very strong, handsome name!
I've heard of: Mordy, Motti, Mottel, Mordche, Mocha, Mochy
We also call him Mo/ Momo at home

DS is motti but as an adult he goes by mordechai. His wife and in law family call him mordechai and by us he stayed motti because that's what usually happens with nicknames

Besides that someone recently told me that the Motti was Mordechai, I remember the lines from Fiddler on Roof "they named him after my, dear uncle Mordechai, the tailor Mottel Kamzoil"

I've heard it, but it's not cute. Everyone thinks the baby's name is Chaim.

I have my own Mordechai. No nicknames. Sometimes Mordy as a short form, but Mordechai is such a beautiful name. How could you Momo it?

Thanks everyone I really cant find a nickname I like, Mutty is a family member so we cant use that just dont love Mordy and Mordechai is just too heavy for a little baby. All the other names people suggested sound more chassidush and we are not.
If anyone thinks of any more ideas greatly appreciate
Thanks!

Moe not resonating? I got my best nickname idea from this website. A name I was dreading giving and someone gave me a great idea Smile this was at the beginning of a pregnancy 5 or so years ago which I thought might be a girl but then I had 2 boys so so far I’ve avoided the name but it’s brought me comfort nonetheless cuz it was Yiddish name I really didn’t like but prob won’t be able to get out of giving
