suikashoujo Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Hmm, well, I have a friend irl that's called me by the name of my old cat since a game we played back in the first grade. As for here, I actually kind of like it when people shorten my name to Suika. It feels more personal. Quote
Snowtsuku Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I think nicknames are funny even though they might be something totally stupid sometimes. Opinions? Like HMN is called Hymen I call HMN Ludo-san. I like nickames I guess. Though it depends in the nickname. As for my nicknames, it's Snow online and Yuki in real life. Quote
The_Count Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Nicknames are cool, I just find not many people IRL ever go by one/think up any good ones. Most of my friends just throw insults 4chan style at eachother xD Quote
SilverLi Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Well nicknames are something I don't really care. Yes I had a horrible nickname in school thanks to influences of my last name. It was more or less "rain" or "the rain". Â Fortunately my parents gave me a first name you can't find nicknames on. So most of the time I am called with my first name. On the other hand I am using my alias on the Internet. But only a selected few know who I am. Quote
Snaiki Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I think mostly nicknames in society are like labeling, you know? Some guy with long hair might be called by a girl's name, or a serious guy "rock" or whatever. Just like making that person know you are aware of something. But in internet, videogames and such its like being another entity. Cuz thats what it is all about, right? Even people who use their real name are just expressing. I think everyone needs one sometimes, so i'm cool with them =) Quote
Monmon Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 but following what you said, that guy is still using that nickname. he hasn't really gotten rid of it even though you too apparently had a fight,and if you too were close enough i'm pretty sure he'll remember who gave him that name in the first place and get bothered by it whenever someone calls him by it. Â yet he's still using it,so saying he throws things away like it's nothing might be an exaggeration. Close enuff huh.....i thought we r close enuff but when he found some1 new he just left me, thats mean i`m wrong huh. But as right now i still can see him using that name without single fuck given. He really needs some shame... Quote

But as right now i still can see him using that anem without single fuck given. He really needs some shame... you're being too self-conscious about the "he found a new person so he left me",i bet you haven't even talked with him about it. Quote
Monmon Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 you're being too self-conscious about the "he found a new person so he left me",i bet you haven't even talked with him about it. Maybe..maybe. But whenever i see him he is kinda ignored me and somehow he prefer to talk with somebody new. I just dont like the fact he still like that and using the name i gave it to him; Maybe i`m kinda a crybaby in this situation however i just cant stand his way searchin for new toys and throw out the old ones. Quote
Scoot Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I don't really dislike it. Rarerly had someone make a fun out of it. Anyway if you want to know it's Bobo.(It's read as whole not like Bo-Bo more like Bobo) I think it cool I don't have any problem with people calling me that, I got nickname in like 4th grade elementary or something.

Kosakyun Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Just context, I guess.  Bobo means 'idiot' in Filipino. #themoreyouknow  Anyway, your username's the name of our dog as well. I find that cute. Quote

Really I don't care if you replaced a with o within your username it would be Kosoki which would mean cross eyed in Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian(BCMS) rude word for asian people. Every language feels strange to non-native. Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 That's the good part in knowing them stuff. >: D Quote
dabuddah453 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 People usually call me "Buddha" due to my surname sounding EXACTLY LIKE IT Â But yeah Quote
Rabbit Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Nicknames are good depending on your relationship and the nickname, for example if your friends gives you a nickname that's an insulting word or you find offensive than it might just be for fun and you have a equal insulting nickname for your friend, however if a person you only have spoken to at school/work and you don't consider eachother friends but he gives you a offensive nickname than it comes close to bullying. Me personally likes getting and giving nicknames to and fro friends because it makes you closer, or if your name is hard to pronounce it makes it easier, my international online friends for example that ive known for 3-5 years calls me Josh since my norwegian name is hard to pronounce for them, or it just sounds weird and akward in their accent.

krill Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 im ok with nick names both receiving them and giving them though i prefer to not do it as a form of teasing to often cuzz those nicknames have a habit of sticking around a lot longer then is funny. Quote
Satsuki Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 My nickname IRL....... My real name means "rain" in my language. However, if you read it in local dialect, it will become "boobs". My asshole best friends always call me that way Quote

Satsuki Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 You must be good friends. ...Or he must be sexually frustrated. I messed his name into "eunuch" in exchange, so we are even Quote
Kosakyun Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 That sounds familiar, yet I can't put my finger on it... Quote
arakura Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nicknames are great. I mostly use them online. Generally the more I like someone, the more charming I try to make it. Quote
