HelpRe: unusual nicknames
in reply to a message by mirfak
My area abounds with unlikely(at least to me)nick-names.
My daughter once had a boyfriend nick-named"Microbe". His actual name was Andre.
Not necessarily odd..very usual is to preface a male name with "Ti", for "Petit"..Ti-Jean, Ti-Paul, Ti-Luc. These last a lifetime. My son's father-in-law calls him Ti-Joe. (his name is Joseph, and he's a fairly big guy. )
I spend a fair ammount of tme in the (Canadian) Middle East community, as my husband is from there. They have some trying nick-names; I know a couple of men named Fouad, always called Foo-Foo.
I used to have a boyfriend nick -named Moose.
I also have an uncle nick-named T.T. His actual name is Edgar.
