Help[Games] The Nickname Game
Okay..use your imagination.
I'll put a nickname and you tell me what you would make it short for. It can be the real name that it's short for or something else that works or you can make up a name that it can be short for. Get it? (If not, see my reply and you should catch on.)
You can decide which gender to use the nn on.
Nicknames:
Ketta
Lila
Lessie
Nila
Addie / Adi / Addy
Essie
Hattie
Cat / Kat
Lai / Ly / Lye
Kip
Lex
Luc / Luk
Etta
Pip
-Seda*
I met Kelly Clarkson! She's awesome!
