Ahmed and its nicknames

[phil.ya]

Hi everyone

Is there a cute form for Ahmed? How I can address a little boy, for example, or how a mum calls her son. I've heard something like Ahmoody but I'm not sure that's the right one

Thank you

I think you can go for ميدو (meedoo).

 

[Mahaodeh]

Or حمادة

In my experience, the most common nickname is حمّودة, pronounced ḥammūde (or ḥammūda).

 

[Mahaodeh]

In my experience, حمودة is the nickname for محمد, and حمادة is for أحمد.

 

[elroy]

You may be right. I will say that I've never heard حمادة as a nickname at all. Perhaps there are regional differences with regard to how common or popular different nicknames are.

Thank you!

I've often heard it this way:

محمد>حمادة/حمّود(ة)
أحمد>ميدو
محمود>حمّود(ة)

(I'm myself often called ميزو by my relatives ).

This may vary between people/areas/countries I guess.

 

[Mahaodeh]

I guess they can all be used for all derivatives of the name, who says that there should be a rule? It’s a nickname!

 

[Hemza]

Of course, since these names share the same roots, I also think this same way but I just displayed the combinations I heard the most frequently though anyone is free to choose any of them.

I've heard حمّود or حمّودي for both 'Muhammad' and 'Ahmed'.
