If yes, what is it? And why did your parents or friends give it to you? Do you like it or would you prefer to be called with your christian name?

My real name is Princess. My mother whom is the nickname giver in our family started calling me Prin. So only my close inner circle call me by that name. I like my nickname. My youngest sisters we gave her the nickname Kola. Like the old style coke-a-cola bottles because she is built nice. she got her name as soon as she stared getting those curves. My bother also had now given my son Brock the nickname Brockie. The rest of the family calls him Ziggy. Because his name is Brock Zigmund.

Nicknames are strange names. I'd been called Bayengyeng when I was a child because I grew so chubby after being given vitamins. In our language the big white whale is called balyena. To make it cuter and musical, my relatives called me Bayengyeng instead. Sometimes my brothers and male cousins still call me by my childhood nickname. I kinda like it. As for my Christian name Eileen, it means light, a variation of Helen, Elena, or even Luz. I like my name.
