IF this is about your main character's early memories, you need to pick a nickname or terms of endearment that tell the reader something significant or important about the character. Also, the character's reaction to the name counts here as well. (Did he/she like the name? Or feel uncomfortable about it?) Give it some thought; it has some meaning. Getting to know, and care about, a main character is the most important part of writing fiction.
