 A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: Have you ever had a nickname? Write about this in your Blog entry today. -------- I don't think I ever had a nickname that became popular. My older son used to call me, "Anniee, Nanniee!" when he was a baby. Later, I became "Mom!" Then, other people called me with adjectives, all good, every now and then, but nothing really stuck. My family I grew up in, they never used nicknames, which could be another reason. We all were who we were to one another. I guess none of us preferred an alternative to our real names. One of my uncles who was a schoolteacher was very much against nicknames, saying nicknames would alienate people to themselves. Maybe he had something to do with it, who knows! I think nicknames are okay, especially for the ones with very long first names. Then, this which I vaguely recall, was when my friend Charlotte was called Shar. She truly hated it, and therefore, that didn't stick, either.. I guess nicknames are used to show affection and intimacy, and for very long names, they are convenient. My family, especially the extended part of it, was very friendly and affectionate without nicknames. So, I didn't really feel the absence of a nickname. |
