[Opinions] Nicknames in my family
In my family, many nicknames have been given. WDYTO these, and what are your nicknames?
Gert, Georgie, George, Aigroeg (eye-drowj) -Georgia Kristin (me)
Joshika (like Jessica), Princess Joshika, J-man, Buck, Hsoj (pr hiss-awzh) -Joshua Jehu
Alexandra, Alexika, Alice, Pavlov, Xela -Alex George
Aarie, AJ, Noraa, Aa-RON, Aaronika -Aaron Jason
RD, Wiley, Rilerz, Rolly, Charlie, Windex (long story, lol), Ry-Ry -Riley David
As you can see, my brothers have a thing about spelling their names backwards, and adding -ika to names to make them girly.

Most of my family just go by their full names, and the ones that don't have fairly straightforward nicknames...
Victoria --> Tory, Tor, (jokingly: Vicky)
Virginia --> Ginny, Gin, (jokingly: Virgie, Ginny Marie)
Stephen --> Stevie
Gregory --> Greg
Alec --> Al
Phillip --> Phil
James III --> Chip
Nickolas --> Nick
Samantha --> Sammy
Emily --> Emmy, Em

Wow. Your family is much more creative than mine.
The only ones that I can think of are:
Ann (me) --> Annabel, Anneree, Tiggers
Hilary --> Hildy
Alice --> Alsie
John --> Jack (see what I mean?)
Cornelius --> Conor
Michael --> Mick
Elizabeth Mary --> Lizzy Mae
Joan --> Dodo (only when they were children and Aunt Mary couldn't say Joan properly)
Veronica --> Vera
Veronica --> Rona --> Rhona
Adelaide --> Addie
That's about all I can think of. We're pretty boring. :-)
