Not really, I've never liked nicknames. I find names hard enough to remember besides giving some people more than one: very confusing!

@PhilDeep They can be loving you know.

@Madeleine I know they're well-meant, of course, but can contribute to sensory overload for autistic folk. I'm more for giving children lovely names one enjoys calling them by anyway, though I guess it's all too late for me!
