[Opinions] Re: Nickname personalities
Margie: Loud kid with frizzy red hair and glasses. One of those characters a children's author would come up with that encapsulates every quirky stereotype. Wears mismatched socks and carries around a weird pet, like a parrot, or a lizard.Margo: Brown braid, green eyes, quiet, studious. Takes her studies very seriously and wants to get into a good college, even though she is only twelve. Slightly gawky, not without friends, but stand-offish.Greta: German girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Bright, curious, generic.Meg: Everyday kind of girl who plays soccer and has friends. Maybe not the most popular girl, but well liked. Does well in school. Has an artistic bent and really loves animals.Alec: Kid growing up in the 70's with brown hair and blue eyes. Well behaved, respectful, keeps to himself. Wears god awful 70's clothes and grows up to be an executive of some kind.Alex: Much like Meg, an everyday kind of kid. He likes video games and playing outside and sometimes struggles with shyness. Bushy hair, bright eyes, can be slightly mischievous when influenced by more outgoing kids. Picky eater.Xander: Fantasy geek. Loves playing Magic: The Gathering and competes in tournaments while in his teens. Belongs to several different fandoms and does the LARP thing. Not quiet or shy, doesn't bother him in the least that he is non-conforming. Is friends with a lot of different types kids because of his easygoing nature and his enthusiasm.Al: Kid growing up in the 1930's/1940's, born in Philadelphia. Half Filipino and half German. Handy and hard working. Grows up to own his own construction company and fathers seven children with his wife. I just described my grandpa for that one, because he was Albert/Al. :) Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
