Name or Nickname?  |
|
 In another post, I mentioned that I got my nickname due to my love of history.
My real name being George (rather common but I like it) I have also been called Georgie by family and close friends. I like that too. My granfather died at the age of 94 and was called Georgie to that day and liked it as well. It's cool having a nickname or at least a name that can be made a nickname.
So,do you have a nickname? Do you like it? Do you prefer it or your real name?
P.S. I've had some stinkers as well. Please no profanity here! Thank You,
George Georgie Shiloh

1.  maezee (4172) | 1 month ago |  I prefer my nickname to my real name, definitely. My real name is Alyssa but I go by Maezee or Lyss to my friends & close family. I like hearing my nickname better, for sure. It's more casual. When people call me 'Alyssa' I think I'm getting in trouble. L0L.

| shiloh62 (29) | 1 month ago | Absolutely!
When I was a kid and I heard George! Or,even worse my FULL name - all three -
I knew I was in for it! And, it is more casual and familiar. Puts you and others at ease.
Thanks so much for the response Maezee! | |

2. jenrettn (39)  | 1 month ago |  I come from a big family. There are 8 of us kids and all of us have nicknames. My real name is Naomi. My older sister started calling me Nomi. It caught on during high school and all my friends started calling me that. A few years my baby brother changed it a little and started calling me Nome. My dads nickname for me is Sumo. My sister and I started wrestling and we busted a wall on accident. So after that my dad called me Sumo. I prefer when my siblings call me Nomi or Nome because its a name they made special for me.

| shiloh62 (29) | 1 month ago | Hi Nomi!
A very good point about that name being made special to you. I never thought of it that way when I made my post.I'll have to consider more when I write! Thanks for an excellent response!!!! | |

| shiloh62 (29) | 1 month ago | Come to think of it, it makes me remember those friends who gave me that name,even though I haven't seen them in a long time. Good old days and frienship.
Wow! You just turned a rainy day good!!! Thanks so much again! | |

| 3. yan_blue8 (399) | 1 month ago |  Hi George! nice topic!:) My real name is Marianne but i prefer to be called yan to make my long name short. I have used it after high school, and would love to hear people calling me that. I have my 2nd name of Aissa so other people would call me Ice, or Icy. College friends would call me yannie.
Yes, its really cool having a nickname or a name that can be a nickname. My baby's name is Alexah but everybody call her Bryx, as for her nickname. Sometimes, my parents would call her Bridgette, Bryxie, Abegail, or whatever names that somewhat related or sounds like the name "Bryx".. Hahaha! funny!:)

You certainly have some beautiful and unique nicknames in your family. You must be very happy! | |

| 8. world2lot (296) | 1 month ago |  Hi! I like to be called by nickname. Your nick name is just a modification of your name itself. But mine is totally different. Yes, I use to be called as "Baby" just because I do smile like baby and appearance to!

| 10. paleorainy (583) | 1 month ago |  My real name is Mirella, and my nick is just Mir. Really just my boss and my parents call me with my full name, all the friends call me with the nick. I hate my name, because it rhymes with nasty words in my native language and also beacsue it's uncommon, and I'd prefer it was a common one. Instead, I like my nick, it gives me something exotic and people wonder where I come from.
