Nicknames for Junior in Yiddish My husband is half Jewish (father's side) and would like to name our first son after himself - Daniel Nathan. What are typical Yiddish nicknames for a junior? Like in English we have Junebug - Little - Chip - Dos - Squirt - J.R. - etc... Of Yiddish words for second, little, smaller, junior, etc...

There aren't typical nicknames like this in Yiddish because Ashkenazi Jews have traditionally named babies after deceased, not living, relatives. It's not a rule or anything, just a pretty strong tradition. Sephardic Jews traditionally name children after living relatives, but they don't (and didn't) speak Yiddish.
