HelpRe: How easy is it to start using a new nickname?
in reply to a message by Violet
Disclaimer, haven't changed my name or pulled a new nickname.
When I was 12, I got called Emmy at my new school by a lot of other kids and teachers. Previously I'd been Emily or Em at home. When I got to high school, it just dropped on its own because I introduced myself as Emily, but I kind of wish I'd kept it up. I really like Emmy!
It's weird though, my GP calls me Emmy and is the only person who still does. I don't know how that started.
I agree though that changing your own nickname is only plausible by a change of situation, like a new uni or town or maybe job.
