His work is not very related with mine,but he still brings a problem between us,that is we shared the same last name,so other people are confusing how to call us. his first name is not very suit for calling directly,as well as mine,That's a weird problem.Aha.

Oh,dude,what I mean is just the nickname is not easy to come up with,the nickname custom here is not used to make very informal nickname for a new guy,usually we use one or two words in his name added "little" or "old" as nickname,which makes people feels not too formal,and also not too informal. Sadly,except the last name,I think both first names of us are not suit for this rule. :)

here in lagos, when two persons have conflicting names, we usually use adjectives to differentiate them, lie tall Uche and short Uche, or black Dan and yellow Dan etc.
