Nicknames

Yes, I did. In fact, in my country, most people have a nickname, usually given by their parents. I have 3, 2 of which I was given by my mum. The last one is the one that stuck and friends and family sometimes call me by. My youngest sister called me 'Lala" when she started talking but couldn't pronounce my first name

My friends call me somolino haha do you have a nickname?

My nickname is Linus. I was dragging a blanket around a church on a night we stayed there. My friend called me Linus. Linus is a character in the Peanuts comic series by Charles Schulz. It ran in American newspapers for years and was made into animated features. Linus always carried around a blanket. I started writing as akalinus, also known as Linus.

Yes I had many nicknames

a few of my nicknames have been B, Ms. B, Bree, Brenana (like banana), and one of my friends thought I looked like a Debbie so they called me that for a while as a joke.

I got a lot of nicknames. Different sets of friends call me different nicknames.

My nickname as a kid was Shanda Panda.

My nickname is not common. They call me awee at home and my real name at school and at work

I don't think so off the top of my head, but my sister was always called Benny by my dad. I had completely forgotten that one until I read the post. I wonder if her kids know??

@st4nko I got called Captain Tobias Wilcox. Long story not worth repeating.

@st4nko I went by my English name in the States and had a nickname and here yes someone has called me a shorter name than my name. It was a shorter version of my name.

I don't think I ever had a nickname and I don't remember any friends or family having them. So what is your nickname then?

I'm called Mateo that is Mathews in my language, do you have any nickname yourself?

My nickname is "fluffy" because if I don't straighten or braid my hair my curls are wild
