Dino

Might take some getting used to, but I think I love it.

I can only imagine this on a 3 yr old or under.

It doesn’t matter if it’s short for dinosaur. It’s cute, and pronounced DEE-no. I love this as a diminutive!

In my opinion, this only works as a nickname.

Most people would think of it as a shortened version of the word dinosaur, I'd think.

This stands for democrat in name only, which is very pejorative in the US. Basically, the liberal version of a rhino.

I love the name Dino! In my opinion, it's very cute!

This name kinda reminds me of an old, annoying, British guy. But I guess it's original, and cute for a little (not annoying) British boy. However, if you dislike the name, I highly suggest changing it when you are of legal age.

All I can think of is Dinosaur.

Makes me think of a dinosaur.

Although Dino has that Italian feel, I can't help thinking of a certain cartoon dinosaur on the Flintstones. I've only ever encountered one person bearing this name and I felt sorry for the boy. I can only hope Dino was a nickname and not his actual name.

Dino has been my given nickname before I could even walk and talk. It was given to me as a variant of my middle name, Dean. To this day some people still only call me Dino and I still love being known by it.
