[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think multiple nicknames can be used for one person, or do you think that all but one would be abandoned and just one would stick?
I’m a “[name_f]Liz[/name_f]/Lizzie” but I wonder if a “[name_f]Lilibet[/name_f]” could get away with being [name_f]Lily[/name_f]/Bet/Bets/Betsy/Betty all at once or if one would take over.
What do you guys think is the most likely situation? Are there other names where something similar might work?
I think it works! I know a [name_u]Julianne[/name_u] who (in addition to her full name) gets called [name_u]Jules[/name_u], JJ, and [name_u]Julie[/name_u] pretty consistently and I’ve never thought anything of it.
I think you can have multiple nicknames and different people might call her different nicknames, but eventually she will probably chose one that she introduces herself as.
Absolutely. I have multiple nicknames for all my kids
I think so, for sure! [name_f]My[/name_f] sister (N@talie) has been [name_f]Nattie[/name_f], [name_f]Lea[/name_f], [name_f]Talia[/name_f], and, most recently, [name_u]Tallie[/name_u], and even still N@talie her whole life. Often not the same nn at the same phase of her life, but I’ve always used a different nn for her ([name_f]Lea[/name_f], [name_u]Tallie[/name_u]) than my mom ([name_f]Nattie[/name_f])? It’s never been a big deal, honestly.
My nephew is [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] (to most) but I ah… hate that nn, if I’m being honest. I call him [name_m]Lev[/name_m] instead. 
With everyone else calling him [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] it is hard to remember to use [name_m]Lev[/name_m] sometimes, and my sister doesn’t know I call him [name_m]Lev[/name_m], so I guess we’ll see with time how that situation works out lol.
I think it can work! [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter has multiple nn, although she is only 4 months so we’ll see if they last. [name_f]My[/name_f] hubby mostly calls her [name_f]Iris[/name_f] (her first name), MIL/FIL call her [name_f]Iris[/name_f] but how it’s prn in Spanish. [name_f]My[/name_f] niece and BIL call her [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f] is one of her middles), my coworkers call her [name_f]Rosita[/name_f] (name they gave her when I was pregnant), I call her [name_f]Minty[/name_f] ([name_f]Araminta[/name_f] is her other middle name).
My kids have several nicknames, and so do I. I like it.
I have multiple nicknames that are all quite different. I think it works
I think it works
I’m [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and I have multiple nicknames, most of my family calls me [name_f]Luci[/name_f], my friends from school call me both [name_f]Luci[/name_f] or Luli, and from church [name_f]Lu[/name_f] or Luchi, my aunts call me Lucilou and my cousin and her husband call me Lucilis
That works fine. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter has multiple nn, her name is Ilea (it’s actually her mn, but she prefers to be called that) and she go‘s by [name_f]Ila[/name_f], Illy, [name_f]Ilina[/name_f]. Some of the family also calls her Nali (from her fn [name_f]Nala[/name_f]), Nalinka or Natschi. She is 4 now and its still not a problem.
Multiple nicknames can definitely work, especially as terms of endearment. As she gets older, her friend group would likely stick to one nickname, and she’ll likely introduce herself by her preferred one. However, there’s nothing wrong with family using many nicknames unless she says at one point that she doesnt like them.
As someone who has had and does have multiple nns and pet names, yes it works. Generally different people would call me different things (especially with friends) and I answered to all of them. Eventually I did just introduce myself by my nn and that stuck.
People can totally go by more than one nickname. I know an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] that goes by [name_f]Liz[/name_f], [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f], [name_f]Bets[/name_f], and [name_f]Betsy[/name_f]. I’ve found certain people call be one or the other more frequently
Im [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (lou-see-uh) and most of my family and friends call me [name_f]Luci[/name_f], my aunts and dad call me Lucilu sometimes and my cousin and her husband Lucilis
[name_m]Ive[/name_m] been called Luchi too (lou-chee),my church friends call me just [name_f]Lu[/name_f]
When i transfered schools in high school i had a classmate called [name_f]Luz[/name_f] that went by the nickname [name_f]Luci[/name_f] so they started calling me Luli, eventually my friends started variants like Luli Pop, Luliana, Luchita, Luchichee… I like them all and I like that I have different nicknames for the different places that I go…
I think it totally works! Nicknames function based on circumstance and the person using them. I have a long, double-barreled name and thus have a lot of nicknames. Most people have one nickname that they’ve settled on/got in the habit of calling me, but people close to me (my husband, parents, siblings) call me a couple different things based on the situation. For example, my husband calls me the first syllable of my name affectionately, but super casually or over text he calls me by my initials.
[name_f]My[/name_f] brother [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] goes by [name_m]Thad[/name_m], [name_m]Tad[/name_m], Tadpole, TJ, and [name_m]Taddy[/name_m]. I’m just [name_u]Kelly[/name_u], but my family still manages [name_u]Kay[/name_u], Kell-Bell, Kell, and some unrelated nicknames. I think it’s the natural order of things! But in my experience, one will eventually become more commonly used – for me, of course just Kell and for [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u], just [name_m]Thad[/name_m]. But I’m sure that doesn’t have to be the way it is!
Absolutely yes. I have multiple nicknames growing up, and all though not all stick the whole time, I would still answer to those if I heard them.
