I've had many nicknames over the years: V, Nessa, Nessy Poo, Nessy Bear and Van. Only my parents call me Van, though, and I hate it. I get embarrassed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always was fascinated by neat nicknames.
Sometimes a nickname is used instead of the real name. But a nickname may offend either the one named or the parents who gave the name.
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.
My parents never gave me a nickname. But for my friends, I am everything from 'Nushki' to 'Nusheshwar.'
Different people call me different things. 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.
I've been very fortunate to dodge a nickname throughout my entire career. I've never had one.
I've never given myself a nickname.
I'm an unorthodox type of guy, a funny guy - at least I think I'm funny. And one of the things I like to do is come up with nicknames for myself.
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 love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.
