HelpRe: Do you know any young people with completely non-intuitive nicknames?
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
The Philippines! Filipinos love using completely unrelated nicknames. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/9435751.stm)

They do the same thing in Thailand as well. Formal Thai names are quite long, but they seem to go by unconventional nicknames (mostly random English words) in daily life. I've heard of a Golf, Captain, White, Aim, Pop, New, Prince, Fluke, etc.

That's so cool! This explains why I once met a Thai guy who was known as "Santa". I love these funny/cute nicknames! They have a lot of character.
