HelpRe: WDYT of nicknames, and help choosing a nickname...
in reply to a message by Flora
Thanks. I think my thoughts mirror yours closely.
The whole nickname-as-a-cultural-mandate is new to me and hard to grasp. I generally like nicknames that make sense or are well known (Kitty for Katherine is uncommon, but known, for example).
In the Philippines, the more outrageous the nickname, the better I guess. I'm going to link some articles on this...

I look forward to reading them. It is interesting the cultural differences in naming practices for sure. :)
