I don`t think I`ve ever had any nicknames related to my actual name. Part of this is my name being short enough that it`s about as easy to say as any nickname... And part being that I just do not like nicknames all that much.

The closest I can come up with in the line of nicknames would be what my husband calls me.
He calls me おく and I call him だんな. If you know Japanese you will get the amusement value of this.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

Aww that's cute

My dad has a much of different nicknames for me, many of which make no sense and have little reason. One of them is "Fiihaa" which comes from my dad calling me "Stephia-befia", when my brother was little he thought my name was "Stephia" which he pronounced "Fiihaa". He also couldn't pronounce my sister's name (Sydney) so her name went from "Ee" to "EB" to 'Idney" haha He was so cute when he was 2 yelling "Eee!!" =D

I've never been given a nickname. I guess my real name's too cool for 'em.


everything is relative and contradictory ~

my name's Aubrey but i get Nick or Nickelodeon a lot from my grandpa. i guess it's cause either my middle name's Nicole or i'm always watching something on Nickelodeon. i also used to get Ewok from one of my friends cause there was this little girl in one of the Star Wars spin-off movies who had my name with a different spelling that had a pet Ewok. sometimes i'll get Aub from some of my other friends, which is just a shortened version of my name.

Back in Aus in my group of friends there were two of us with the same name. I am a Brendon and the other was a Brendan. So to distinguish between us I became know as just Don or The Don. It's the same here in Japan, there are 3 of us in town with the same name, so referring to me as Don helps distinguish between us.

Well, I haven't really had a nickname since I was in ES and HS.
In grade 7-9 I had loads of nicknames based on my last name, which is a very unusual one. Some were alright, others were... not very nice (yes, I was "that fat kid" back then). xD
In HS people called me "Bosse." It's got absolutely nothing to do with my real name (Robin), and I can't quite remember when or how I got that nickname. In Sweden, "Bosse" is usually what you call people with the name Bo. It was completely random, and I still don't get it 5 years later!
... To be honest I don't think the one who gave me the nickname gets it either, so it's all good haha.

My real name is Ida ^.^

Paleface <---- My friends love to tease me with this nickname XP It started because I love vampires, and since I have quite light skin XD

Izzle <----- My sister loves to call me this when she's pretending to be gangsta XP
