Hello,I get many friends and even my relatives,who have a and even more than one nickname.Some of them are even very interesting.Some nicknames are taken from their family,mom,dad,or even a special reason.I have a nickname named pudding,which is a name my grandma gave me,as I love to eat pudding so much,and even when I was very young,I felt very unwell as I ate too much and have to see a docter. And also some of my friends named me as a little bee,as my real sounds like a "buzz" like a bee. What about you?Where do you get your nickname from?

I got my pet name from my elder sister. But when I joined mylot, I chose my own pet name and this became my favorite in such a way that all my website account today has the same name used. I am happy to get a different identity yet very similar to my real name

Yeah, that's the way many people did,but some people don't like their namenick to be very closer to their real names.Some nicknames you get from others,some nickname you make yourself.A cusion of mine doesn't like his real name very well,so he created another one himself and let everybody to call him that,gradually we have get used .

hey kicks.. well i think my nickname was taken from my name actually.. since i have two names so they decided to call me by the 1st two letters of my name.. lol.. it was my mom who came up with that.. whoa!! i still cant believe my mom came up with it since she had always been the serious one.. my dad was the hilarious one.. and sometime when me and my dad talk, he often wonders why he hadnt given me a nickname but my mom did.. lol..

i actually have my nickname but it was never used. in fact, my siblings, we all have our nicknames that our parents gave us. but only my brother's is used till now. my sister's is very seldom when we call her with her nickname. and mine, i only heard it once when i was in elementary. my father called me with it. anyways, my parents figured out how they would call us three. so my father explained to me later that they wanted to make our pseudonyms to all start with the letter B.

I chose my own nickname, so that`s not very exciting, but I have acquaintances with funny stories about their nicknames. One of the funniest ones I can remember is a dude who everyone called "little pc", I always felt curious and one day I asked him. He told me that his older brother was called "pc" by everyone, so therefore he turned into "little pc".

Yeah,some people get their nicknames just from their brothers or sisters.It's easier to give a nickname in that way for parents.

Well,i only let people who are close to me call me joan or jo. I got "joan" , well its the short form of Joanna and its kinda to differ. People who call me joanna are not that close to me because i always introduce myself as that and when we get close, i will end up saying.. "C'mon just call me Joan or Jo well whichever your comfortable" Some call me MJ or MJAL because well its my initials...

Azazel mean desert devil. For the first time I met the word in one movie. The movie was "Fallen" and there in the main role is Denzel Washington. It was very interesting movie with very nice end, well not for everyone but when I watch it I like it because it`s unusual end. So, I like the name of the devil. In the end of my nickname I put the last two numbers of my birth year. So my nickname mean " devil born in 1987". I dont`t think I`m a devil, I just like the devil in that movie.
