Name or Nickname?

I come from a big family. There are 8 of us kids and all of us have nicknames. My real name is Naomi. My older sister started calling me Nomi. It caught on during high school and all my friends started calling me that. A few years my baby brother changed it a little and started calling me Nome. My dads nickname for me is Sumo. My sister and I started wrestling and we busted a wall on accident. So after that my dad called me Sumo. I prefer when my siblings call me Nomi or Nome because its a name they made special for me.

...hi george..for me i prefer to be called with my nickname, bart, simple, short, one syllable only...my real name is like a scientific terms..LOL!! have a nice their :-)

I prefer my nickname to my real name, definitely. My real name is Alyssa but I go by Maezee or Lyss to my friends & close family. I like hearing my nickname better, for sure. It's more casual. When people call me 'Alyssa' I think I'm getting in trouble. L0L.

Yes, I have nickname. I prefer my nickname only for at the internet. But at the really world not at the internet, i prefer use my real name. So, Do you want to know my real name? Hehe :)

Many had told me that my real name,Citadel, is a beautiful name but everytime I introduce myself to a new coincidence, I use my nickname which is ADEL.Those who knows my real name prefer to call me Dhel or Del. But I still like ADEL because I feel I have strong personality with that name.Dhel is too feminine or they just make it sound like that everytime they call me with that name.

Hi George! nice topic! :) My real name is Marianne but i prefer to be called yan to make my long name short. I have used it after high school, and would love to hear people calling me that. I have my 2nd name of Aissa so other people would call me Ice, or Icy. College friends would call me yannie. Yes, its really cool having a nickname or a name that can be a nickname. My baby's name is Alexah but everybody call her Bryx, as for her nickname. Sometimes, my parents would call her Bridgette, Bryxie, Abegail, or whatever names that somewhat related or sounds like the name "Bryx".. Hahaha! funny! :)

well, i like both my real name and my nick name... my real name is Guna , Parents, relatives, professional and unknown persons and some of my friends would refer that name and often my college teachers.. my nick name is Gohan, it originated from Dragon Ball Z, i watch Dragon Ball Z all the time and my friends say that i look like Gohan if i dress up in orange or in blue ..and i like him much, so my friends named as Gohan and my close friends call me as Gohan i like both the forms, so joined both and made my user name as GunaGohan happy mylotting..

well my dad gave me the most stupidest nickname "lucky" which i used to be called but now I dont because I told the people that if they call me that again I will beat them up :) My Mum have me the nickname of BrownBear, ha I know it's silly but these are just funny names we call each other :)

Yeah Geo, i like to call you as geo.. Do you like it? i have so many nick names like Apsara, Shalini, Kutti .. My real name is Priyaa..

For me I like my nickname and also my name it's up to my friends they called me even if I wonder my nickname is big defer with my name because my name is Evie and my nickname is Bing2x.

i have a real name and a nickname but i love my nickname more coz just 7letters in Craicha...but my real name got 16letters plus 7letters n family name.....lol..when i was in prep school get hard time in writing my full real name....thats the reason if someone ask my name i never give out my real name....!!!

hi shiloh dis reminds me of my school days,i was the tallest in my class as all of my friends were really short they started calling me gaint gunjalis(a wrestler in wwf).in those days i really used shout at them coz they almost started introducing me to their friends as gunjalis.but now i would really loved to be called with tat name.even now my friends call me with tat name.thank of reminding me those days.gud day.

Doesn't matter to me really. My name bryan doesn't come with a good nickname afterall. People may call me bry but it ain't any different than my real name :) Come to think of it, my family calls me 'yan' so I think yeah i prefer the nickname afterall :)

My real name is Mirella, and my nick is just Mir. Really just my boss and my parents call me with my full name, all the friends call me with the nick. I hate my name, because it rhymes with nasty words in my native language and also beacsue it's uncommon, and I'd prefer it was a common one. Instead, I like my nick, it gives me something exotic and people wonder where I come from.

Hi Shiloh I don't care for my real name so I like my nickname a little better . My real name is jeanena, but for the most part I go by Jodi.My hubby calls me Jo most of the time .

i call my 8 year old chicken or chickie dickie do,i have done from when he was a toddler,i think it started when i read him the Chicken Lickin book
