HelpRe: well this is a big bummer for me. Warning:Rant

You seem a bit confused. First your life has been ruined, and then in the next paragraph you 'really don't care honestly'. So, which is it? And why the big stink? If your relatives are that peculiar, why worry?
Where I live, it was traditional for centuries to name the first son after the paternal grandfather, second son after maternal grandmother, daughters same kind of thing, so clearly nicknames were in order at family gatherings. Nobody thought anything of it; and this was back when there were very few names in circulation compared to today.
If it was me, I'd start worrying when I was actually pregnant and knew the child's sex. Not now.
But, if you enjoy worrying (and why not?), have fantasy twin boys, name them Adrian and Nicholas, and tell yourself endless stories about them when you're trying to fall asleep. By the time you're actually giving birth, you'll probably be heartily sick of both names and ready to consider anything from Osbert to Zebedee.
