HelpNicknames that aren't names
I've been thinking about "different" nicknames that some kids acquire in their childhoods. Names that sound like pet names more than anything else. Stuff like:
Buck
Bud
Champ
Critter
Red
Scout
Skip
Skipper
Tag
&c.
"Mitt" Romney comes to mind as well. What do you think of these kinds of names? Do they annoy you or do they seem cool or "cute"?
I actually kind of like them. It seems like everyone I've known with a name like that has been quite a character. I think most of the time they get those names because they ARE characters. I can think of several examples in books as well.
Do you know anyone with a nickname like this?
