#nicknames

Once your toddler starts repeating everything you say, it's only natural to start referring to your partner by the name your child knows.

The name Weeb made me feel loved. My foster father gave me the nickname Weeb around 1995 because I have very thick, dark hair and I was in my gawky teens.

Nicknames in the Viking Age were essential for identifying individuals in a society that primarily used patronyms. They reflected a person's traits, reputation, or origins.

Nicknames have traditionally signified affection, yet their prevalence is declining due to concerns about offending others or sounding unprofessional.
