Nicknames
So for several reasons, I'm really interested in nicknames right now. First of all, I've been toying nns for my favorite names. Second, nns are extremely important in the story I'm writing right now, and lastly: I have run into a lot of new nns and I've met lots of people who go by nns in general.
So if everyone could help me out by giving me a long list (or short, if you'd prefer) of nicknames. Ones you love, like, dislike, hate, think are interesting, cute, or dated, I'd love to hear them all and your opinions on them.
Thanks in advance!

Well, the thing with nicknames is that they can really be anything, even not even related to their given name at all.
Example: I know a girl that's named Alicia and goes by Bob..
I don't personally like using nicknames though I do call my sister Meg when her name's Meghan, while she calls me Dan(which isn't my name)
But here's a list anyway! :D
Max, Bob, Ducky, Spike, Nicky, Boo, Mel, Dave, Kel, Andy, Demi(nn for Dmitri), Lee, Trina, Zac, Moo, Ray, Ry, Jace(Jase), Kate, Katie, Joey
...uuuh thats all I can think of without flying of the panhandle and saying things like Rocket or Billy Bob Joe!
ta-ta,
