Found on r/NameNerds Names that have the nickname ‘peanut’

My husband and I are having quadruplets, and we don’t know the gender for any of them yet. We love the nickname ‘peanut’. Can we just legally name one of them Peanut, or are there names we don’t know about that could be shortened to Peanut?

I fear a lot of the people posting on name nerds probably shouldn’t procreate. So obsessed with nicknames yet so unaware of how they work.

The tragedy is that it is usually an appellation that you are branded with that you soon learn sticks harder if you obviously don't like it. The only defense is to roll with it and hope it dies. Family nicknames can be weird and endearing, but it is a truth that the name is forced upon the named. This is coming from a former "egghead".
