Help[Opinions] Re: Does August need a nickname?
in reply to a message by Danielle79
I don't think August needs a nickname but some people may try to give him one. I knew my sister Nicole never wanted more than one nn which was Nicky but I insisted on coming up with every possible nn that I could. She actually liked some of them, like Snickerdoodle. But she hated knick-nack paddy-whack. She also hated when I called her Nicola with the same pronunciation as the Ricola ads. Truthfully my mom started the Nicola nn, but I kept using it. But only when she would refuse to answer me. My mother also gave her the nn Nick Louie since her mn was Louise. That was her first nn after Nicky. Geez Louise is what my mom would say sometimes when my sister would misbehave.
Sorry I went off topic a little. If you hate Augie and Gus then you don't have to call him that but that doesn't mean that others won't. Plus August might even like one of those nn's even. Wolfgang with the nn Wolf / Wolfe probably would happen. So if you like the nn Wolfe then Wolfgang might be a better choice if your husband hates Gus and Augie so much.

I know this kid named Nicholas/Nick. He goes by Snickers because he thinks it's just the cat's meow. For a while I called him Snickers. Then I realized he was the world's single most annoying person and stopped indulging him.
Anyway when he introduced himself to everyone he went "My name is Nick, but I go by Snickers... and if you get to know me REAL well, you can call me SNICKERDOODLES!"
(College, mind you.)

Lol..... was that some sort of strange pick up line? :P I'm guessing it was suppose to be a very cheesy joke pick up line rather than a serious one.
I'd call my sister Snickers sometimes. It went from snickerdoodle to snickers and snicker to snicky. lol :P Our good friend came up with Nickel. My sister has a ton of nn's. Most of them were invented by myself and my mother. Some were from our good childhood friend who gave me the nn Missa. Laura's nn was Lur lur and I was Miss Missa Marisa or Miss Missa or just Missa. Those were the nn's we came up with in middle school. Marisa is hard to make nn's for. I think I slightly teased and loved to come up with nn's for my sister because I couldn't make up many for myself. Her name just lent itself to making nn's. I guess I'm a sucker for nn's. Sometimes Nicole will be called Nicola but not said like the Ricola ad. By that I mean just Nicola and not weirdly elongated like in the ad. My mom calls me both mah-RIS-ah and mah-REE-sah. She calls my sister Nicole, Nicky or Nicola. My mother is half hispanic and I'm 1/4 so even though we don't speak spanish we all use some spanish vocabulary and occasionally some pronunciations.
