Help[Opinions] Rate the Nicknames Others Call You
This is from a couple month old meme on twitter, but it seemed very BtN relevant. Rate your own name(s) and then rate the corresponding nickname(s). People in the replies add your own lists or rate others lists of nicknames :)
My names:
Cecil 10/10 picked it myself, suits me, whenever British people say it it's exciting
Carolyn 8/10 solid name, served me well, isn't Caroline, very phonetic
Nicknames / What Others Call Me:
Kajina 8/10 childhood nickname, family still uses it. Very average diminutive. Nostalgic.
Kája 9/10 another family nickname, very average diminutive. Extra point because it's gender neutral.
Carolamb 10/10 nickname since high school, friend made it up for me. This nickname included a cute cartoon drawing of me as a floofy lamb.
CE 6/10 I get slightly confused why people call me this, then I remember I keep just my initials in my insta bio. Cool, but not catchy.
Ceelion (like sea lion) 11/10 The friend who nicknamed me Carolamb 8 years ago asked to come up with a new animal-based nickname when I started going my Cecil and it was the most affirming and fun thing coming up with one. 1000/10 allyship.
Carebear 6/10 Another high school nickname which is fine, but too cutesy.
Hedgehog 10/10 not actually a nickname, I just thought a friend was calling me hedgehog when he was actually talking about a hedgehog TO me and I just assumed I got a new nickname and rolled with it. Fun experience, would recommend mishearing things as a method of getting new nicknames.
Caroline -1/10 Not my name. Every time I ask Americans if they've ever been to "Brookline" New York, if that's how they're going to pronounce my name.
Carol 5/10 also not my name, but also infinitely better than Caroline. Not my name would usually mean 0 points, but it is related to Carol from The Price of Salt, and is therefore cool.
