Help[Opinions] In Germany, nicknames are a bit less common. (m)
in reply to a message by queenv
We use nicknames sometimes, for example Kati for Katharina etc., but it's not as common as in English-speaking countries. My name is Christina and there are few people who call me Chrissy or Chris. Only my best friends tend to use Chrissy.
Normally, people don't come up with a nickname very quickly, but use your normal name unless you suggest they should call you by a certain nickname.
Adults are normally called by their full fn.
