pet/nick name

hi vathsala garu, i have nick name of chinni. my parents will call with this nick name and still now they call me like that only and my sis and brother will also call me like that only.in my house, i only have nick name and my brother and sis don;t have nick names,as no one called them with nick names. sometimes i think that why they don;t have nick names. after my marriage ,my husband calls me bujji and i never rejected that. in my small days my grandfather called me sidhi. my sis's daugter's name is ramya ,but her father calls her chinnathalli.

I was call by one my brothers called me short seirt or kidd.the one that called short seirt like from ET phone home he pass away at 48yrs old which was 3yrs ago. cd

my SIL1 her nick name was Linduck.... because when my hubby was a kid he couldn't say Linda, it came out as Lind-duck so we call her that or Duck to be silly. Sadly they aren't kids anymore and still do that. Oh and the kids call her Auntie Duck

Well I was called Malcom X named after the famous freedom fighter .My brother was called bandy because he had bowed legs and we tried to get magre girl to stick to my sister but it didnt stick.My name didnt stick either ,it only lasted for high school even though and again I meet a friend from those days who remembers and call me by old name .My brothers name has stuck but only with his friends .

Hi Vathsala, My kid name is Bhawya.When i was working in the laptop she suddenly came and typed something it was Juby.So that name became her pet name from that day onwards. Many are there like seenukutty,seemu,chakarakutty.

Nick/pet names are almost always used in my family! My name is jennifer-lee but i'm always called jen. My sisters name is kayla but we always call her hog, hoggy, or baby cakes. Sometimes we don't even call my mom "mom" we call her honey or baby. Even our pets have nick/pet names! Lucy is lou lou, Vito is Mr. fluffy tail, Ginger is gingy pingy, and lucky is luck-a-lou!

Three of us do, three of us don't. Three names like Marianne, Leah, Walker, really can't shorten their names into anything interesting, however our relatives named Matthew, David, and Rebecca, are often called Matt, Dave, and Becky.

Hi vathsala! I have a one name only and there is no pet or nick name, which is used for addressing me.. My name is not very long and it is easier to address me with my first name. Have a nice day! Deepak

We are five sisters in total. First four sisters are not having any nick names. We are called by half names. But my last sister, who is apple of our eyes, was not at all named till she was three years. My mother was sick. Whenever my sister's naming ceremony was fixed, my mother was getting fits and the function was cancelled. My father was upset and did not name her. When our neighbour was petting her telling 'Kunguttukkullari Duyyan'[/b][/i], (no, meaning, just blabbering something to pet the child), my sister used to laugh so much with joy. So he named her Kungu, the first two syllables. Everyone started calling her with that name. One day hot water fell on her leg and we took her to doctor. When he asked her name, we were blinking and this one in her crying itself, said a name and doctor wrote on prescription. That itself became her name. But calling was with the name KUNGU only, even now. I think she is the only person, who named her own self. This is a sweet memory for all of us about our darling sister.

Hi dear, I think the new trend is calling people on pet/nick names. In my home every kids in the next generation has a pet name. Actually the real names are lengthy so pet names are keeping for calling easily. My name is calling completely in office only otherwise some prefer to call the first part and some prefer to call the second part. I had many nick names when I was a kid. Now on visit some people still calling those names but nobody knows those names here in Delhi.

Hi, We call our friends as chillpill, chinchu , bujju, vJay....ect what ever comes in our mind we call them.

sher bear, care bear, boo bear, lou hoo, munky, punmpkin, munchkin...

Yes.., Some of my relatives call-Shs, Harsha, Harsh .. etc I am glad by calling all these nick names.
