'Mahershala' is my nickname.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to have hair so long, my nickname was Pocahontas.
In America, people really struggle with my name, so I don't have a nickname as such. I've had Sharlito, Sheldon, Charldo, really interesting variations on the name. Some of them can get it, but many can't.
As a teenager, I used to use the nickname 'Moo' as a moniker online, and then I turned into 'Moot' for fun, which I didn't even realize was a real word at the time, and it just stuck with me.
I always was fascinated by neat nicknames.
Actually, Keke is my nickname. When I was little, my sister was about four years old, and she had an imaginary friend named Keke. And she wanted my name to be Keke.
I have spoken to many, many Indian chiefs who say they have no objection whatsoever to the nickname.
My nickname used to be Moses - still is Moses - for a long time, and people just call me Mo for short.
I do have a nickname with my family; I'm called Snappy, because I do get to be a bit snippy at times. They call me Snappy Bear. That's from New Hampshire. My dad's called Crazy, my mother's Happy - it's a whole thing.
I've never given myself a nickname.
My parents never gave me a nickname. But for my friends, I am everything from 'Nushki' to 'Nusheshwar.'
