Jazz & Mina. (The latter because my name was supposed to be Jasmina.)

My full name is Erica Rose [lastname]. Most people call me either Erica or by my last name (which used to get me a lot of teasing growing up, but now people think it's "fun to say"); however, my mom has always called me Rosie.

---

Cait, Caity, Caito. Only used by my parents though.

Joy, Geems, or Heidz.

I'm Caroline and when I was little my mum and sister called me Lina (lee-na). My mum still calls me Lina but she's the only one. If someone else would call me Lina it would be really weird.
Caro is the go to nickname for Caroline here and people I don't know well call me that sometimes. It's weird being called Caro. I know they mean me but it's not me. Just a few weeks ago I was teaching new police officers and suddenly one of the police officers started to call me Caro. He obviously just assumed that it was my nickname. I didn't correct him. But I have never been Caro and never will be.

---

I have two friends who call me Cissi but it started as a joke and it feels like that nickname has a connection to our history and our friendship. It's not just a random, assumed nickname.

---

And not a nickname but sometimes people call me Caro-LINE (which is not the standard pronunciation here) and I like that very much.

My full first name is Jessica-Kate. Growing up, my nn was always Jessie which I prefer and which I still get from my family. Once I hit high school, it became Jess. I introduce myself as Jess cos I find it weird to introduce myself as Jessie but I still think of myself as a Jessie.

Jess & JRod.

---

Jessi is only allowed by a select few. Otherwise, I hate it.

Elsie

Barbra (or Barbie--yet Barbie--by acquaintances with whom I converse frequently). (or Barbs--by those who are extremely close); I am sometimes referred to as Barb, which, although I am not a fan of this nick-name, it is fine if someone is merely referring to me.

---

There was a time when I only used my middle name, which has as many nick names as that of my first--and some still call me by a variation of this. However, that phase has passed, and I am "back with my first"...

None. My dad calls me Have, which makes me crazy. I have always detested it. Otherwise just family nns - Fave, Toad.

Sair or Sairs. My DH calls me Honey and my dad used to call me Possum for a while, but I didn't like it!

My name is Sylvia Anne. When I was little my mom called me Sylvie Anne. Some of my extended family still calls me Sylvie.

Most usually Aim or Aims someone once called me Aimers (which I hated). My family and family friends call me Aimeloo (Aim-eh-lou), which I think is really cute.

Lucy (I loved to watch reruns of I Love Lucy).
Half pint, quarter pint, runt, little bit, and munchkin because I'm short.

DH calls me Leni sometimes, but no one else calls me anything but the full name.

Sometimes my family calls me Moi (MOY), but outside of that, nothing really. I think Mo could be a cool nickname for Moira, though.

Most people who knew my father call me Beattie, from my middle name Beatrice.

---

Some people call me Loos (my first name's Lucy), but usually I just go by Lucy.

---

I've had: Aud & Audge & then Audzilla (: (:

---

But very rarely I was called by a nickname

Allie, Ali, Lilou, or Lou, and then a tonne of plays on the nickname Ali.

Rach, Rachie when people are being playful. I don't mind it.

I'm mostly just go by my full first name, but...

---

Kristi, Kiki, Kiri, Tina, Bella, Belle

---

Occasionally in middle school I was known as Korky and/or Toast.

I don't have a nickname, outside the InterWebz that is, I've only ever been Charlotte. My own fault, since I insisted on being called by my full name when I was a little kid, so it's just been like that all my life. Even if I'd had some since childhood, it would have most likely been Lotte (obvious nn for Charlotte in Denmark), which I know I'd hate today, because I don't even like it.

---

My brother will call me Charlie sometimes, though, which is my nickname on the InterWebz and I react to, when someone addresses me online. And when my brother calls me that.

---

So, maybe Charlie?

Lisey
Lisey-Lou
Possum
Bee

I don't have one. I'm called what is on my birth certificate. Some women who are named Janice are called Jan, but I've never been called Jan and don't want to be.

Tory for Victoria. Some people in my family call me Tor. When my friends in middle/high school wanted to annoy me they'd call me Vicky.

---

As a kid, I got a kick out of being able to look up Toryism in the dictionary.

---

I've mostly stopped using it when I introduce myself though. (I'm pretty soft-spoken, so a lot of times people end up hearing Cori or Terry or Troy; even most of my family still misspells it as Tori or Torie. Everyone understands Victoria the first time).

---

I also feel like Tory has an 80s vibe that I don't particularly like.

Jam, Jami/Jammy, Jammy Dodger(s). Yeah my name and initials (JAM/JAAM) really lend themselves to Jam related nicknames, but I really like it, even though ironically I don't really like jam XP. Oh, and even more ironic, Jam Jam who likes to Bam Bam, because my friends are bonkers and amazing.

I don't have one

---

My given name is a nickname of my legal name though. Can't really shorten Kev though!

Jenny

---

If I'm getting on my sister's nerves, Jennyfer (Jenny-fer). She also told her kids that if they somehow got separated from us in a store, they should start yelling "Jennyfer", since there are so many Jennifers and they probably aren't Jennyfer.

---

Nenny- when my nephew was starting to talk

---

Suzy- when my mom and some other relatives call me by my sister's name

Bunyip.

Coco, co, coke, coke-y, Nina, Nina Mina, mina, Nina Katrina, and Mar

My names Marie. Most people don't nickname me, other than one friend who calls me Reazy. Dh very rarely calls me by my name though, instead calling me Bella (amongst other random things lol)
