ArishMell · 70-79, M
I have not had a nick-name for years; but have done many decades ago.
I was once in a small club with less than twenty members, but of whom three of us shared the same Christian-name, so I think we adopted nick-names to overcome that difficulty.
My nick-name on here contracts the real "Arish Mell" two-word name - of a small bay on the SW English coast. I do not know its etymology, which is quite likely Old English (e.g. heavily Saxon-influenced).
