    Have any nicknames? Both irl and online.
    If you prefer to only say your online nicknames, that's fine.
     
    Online people generally call me tenfrogs, or frogs/froggy. It's very endearing :3

    IRL I get called Ten, 'cause my name's Tenille and people looove saving that extra syllable for more important things.
     
    I don't have any because people don't really...refer to me.
    I don't really mind.
     
    Online people generally shorten my username to GP. Offline, I don't usually get called by a nickname because I don't really feel like any of them particularly suit me. A few people over the years have fallen into the habit of shortening my name to Dan out of habit (from knowing other Daniel's) but I don't particularly like it lmao.
     
    Offline, my deadname had a lot of nicknames. Which, I obviously will not share for obvious reasons.

    If I eventually come out to more people, and give them my preferred name, I don't think I'd want people to give me a nickname with Kory since it's already a rather short name to begin with. It's fine as it is.

    For my username, people often shorten it to Pala, and I ended up using Pala in every single video game I play ever now, so in ways, you can say that online nickname stuck since I use it in everything in video games. Guess you can now call it my "IGN" (in game name video game name world)? I wish I knew who started that nickname for me when I started going by Palamon as a username, but it's been so long now I've since long forgotten.
     
    my irl name has a couple different nickname variations. one of them is the name i go by online (and the name i generally prefer in life) : riki

    Due to my current username here, I was called "sky" yesterday and that was kinda cool imo c:

    I will henceforth calll you Sky 3:
     
    Online I've been called Soap, Soapy, Sopgie, Shopei, Soph... I think that's it not counting the mistyped variations of my name that I can't recreate HAHAH (thank you Inky) and ones that uses my last name. When I first joined PC back in 2012, people used to call me Rainbow because my username was Rainbow Arcanine at the time.

    In-person, I have a lot of nicknames based on my last name. I've also heard Soph/Soap in-person. My Mum used to call me Fifi a lot when I was a kid but she doesn't anymore. Technically not a nickname but I've noticed a lot of adults over the years (teachers or relatives) have always thought my name is Sophia. They also always tell me that Sophia is a pretty sounding name. But my name is not Sophia :(
     
    Usually 'Ron' irl by some colleagues, and I had choir friends call me 'A' (like how you'd pronounce the letter), which I think is pretty neat heh.

    My family usually calls me 'Dude' because I'm the only one in the household that constantly speaks straight Western English :p If they're serious they start calling me my real given nickname, 'Budoy' (büh-DOY, kinda similar to how one would pronounce 'bidet' methinks). It roughly means 'troublemaker', of which I was as a youngin :3

    My partner calls me a cute corruption of my real nickname, 'boodi' along with many other variations of it. I've grown to love all of these overtime <3

    Ret, Retek, Retekek, Terek, recon, Ratchetclank, Tekky, Rkt...

    I have many online nicknames.

    Offline I get called Stuart Little by my friends due to my short height.

    LMFAO! How short are you?

    Me well I'm 5 feet so damn near every short joke name in the book and then some. I get called Midget, Fun Size, Pocket Size, Short Stack, Shorty, Short One, Militant Midget, Tiny One, Penguin. I know I'm missing some...lol.

    My GM was 6'3" so the joke was the only way I could even have a chance of taking him out was doing a flying cross body off the Triple Catcher cranes. Attack him from above.
     
    My parents call me Nanners and Nay Nay because my brother said my name as Nana when he was younger apparently. I don't mind these because it's better than my actual name oop-

    I got called Chris one time in middle school by my preschool buddy (who confidently said "Bye Chris!" to me. It was actually very endearing) and I told my friends and they started calling me Chris too. I started going by Chris online too because I believed in that "don't reveal personal information about yourself online" stuff so I got used to getting called Chris. I don't go by it as much now because of those friends who understood the joke, I really only talk with one of them now. Now I prefer to be called Anthem (both online and irl), a name I've chosen for myself. It did actually originate from Chris- I remember one day I was thinking "Chris could be short for something, like chrysanthemum" and then it hit me: chrysanthemum.

    Online people usually just shorten my username to Rad. And that's fine by me. I don't think anyone has ever said RE, which sounds terrible. Never call me that.
     
    I've had plenty of usernames, but none of them really described me the way Fairy does, so I like this name! I think the only other name people would really associate with me is Alexial.

    But 99% of people online and offline just call me Jo. It's technically a nickname but no one has called me by my full name in years.
     
    If we're going by usernames, mine are in my bio but just using my real name is fine!
