Boys have a nice nickname with a Li.

Li is a good word! There is a bright meaning. See what you are satisfied with here:

Li you (you: free and easy. )

Li Fan (Li Fan, that is, "away from the ordinary", away from the ordinary, may the baby grow up to be an extraordinary person. )

In ancient Chinese, (Li) was sometimes translated as "numerous", which means "many hopes". Children are your infinite hope.
