there is no better feeling than someone giving u a nickname. like it doesn't have to be creative i've just melted every time someone called me xal instead of xalli or smth. it feels like such a significant transitional moment from strangers or acquaintances or mutuals to something more familiar. idk. intimacy in small moments etc etc. more thoughts to come. share urs also if u want :]

a lot of my friends call me "aub" but my partner (who wasn't my partner at the time) calls me "aubs" and i dont know why i like it a lot more but i really do. i think its because the only other people who have called me that in my life were my parents. so it feels so much more intimate. makes talking to my partner feel more special & significant. intimacy in small moments!
that's so sweet, i love it so much. i totally get that feeling. i would call my recent ex (doesn't feel like the right term but oh well) has instead of hasmik and like. none of her other friends would call her that. literally me n her mom LMAO. but anyway, it felt so cloe & intimate & beautiful. i love that feeling so much
my actual 1st name isnt very nicknameable but ive had people (mostly on discord) call me a lot of permutations of sneek its cute. some1 i had a crush on in '21 (but fell out with in the end Lol) had a bit of a funny monopoly on that but i got other permutations that some others would have as their go-to for me at whatever point so 2 speak... snake, sne, sneebus, keens, šnek etc. (but my fav gotta be sneebert)
but theres been So many others lol, see https://sneekrealm.neocities.org/pics/notebook/nicknames.png (but i still get called sneek the most online i guess)
oh my god yes i love it. i feel it though, the name i go by a bit more irl (dominic) is like... nicknameable, but in a sort of boring way. like getting called dom is.... whatever. cutest nickname i've gotten from it is domi by my abuelo. also the sneek nicknames r impeccable i love them
my friends call me my nickname so much they forget my full name hahah. another friend often calls me a vegetable which name is close to mine. last year a lot of my teachers called me by my nickname aswell. my parents sometimes give me another nickname and its super sweet but in my dialect it also means "ass" which is weird and funny!! nicknames are so silly man
my irl name is hard to nickname but my fiance calls me moon or peach :)
to this day i still go by the very first nickname (jp) given to me by one of my elementary teachers! lol
you guys get me so much i love these. thank u for sharing 🌟 naming as intimacy !!!
my name (or, one of them, anyways, iz) is a nickname given to me by my parents & used by a bunch of my friends. i realized i felt really at home w it in a way i didn't feel w my full name. and then my username on p much everything is a nicknamed extension of that name by my older sibling
