My Dad calls me Spud and my mum calls me Charlie. I have absolutely no idea why on either count!

It is the custom of Malays in Malaysia to call their offspring by their nicknames. This is due to cultural and possibly mixed with religious beliefs. One of the beliefs is that without our real names it would be difficult for others to put a spell on us unless the person is a powerful sorcerer/sorceress. The nickname used by my father, siblings, relatives and close friends of my parents meant "Father of the Stars'. My mother used to call me with a nickname meaning 'True Man'.

I dont have nick name, my mom and dad calling me with my real name, my brother, sisters,relatives and friends still calling me with my real name. I guess they like my real name than any other name out there.
