it does sound silly but since it is a family nickname i dont think ppl will make fun of you for it try "little man" instead of little 2nd.

What is proper in one language often doesn't sound good in English. Try to choose something that suits you better in English.

Little Two sounds ok, Little Second sounds odd.
Boy Two? Two-Boy?
Avoid Number Two as that can refer to defecation...
