I have a two-part question for y'all.

1) What is your name?

2) What nicknames do you have that are somehow related to your name?

I'm Samantha, and I have four nicknames. the first two are obvious -- Sam and Sammy.
my third nickname is "Sammymantha"...my uncle started calling me that when I was a baby. it stuck. it's kind of cute, but I would murder anyone outside of my family who used it.
and finally, my mom used to call me "Miss Samantha" when I was in a bad mood when I hit my teenage years (which was quite often, hah) and it eventually got shortened to "Missantha". I actually love this one.

I don't have a ton of nicknames, which is weird, because you'd think a name like Cristina would generate a couple of good ones. The only one that has ever stuck was "Cris", and only my best friends from high school, in-laws, and husband call me that. I'm not sure how and why; I never refer to myself as Cris, and I have never encouraged it. (But I don't mind it!)

I also have a not-so-super-secret first name that nobody calls me, but my friend April (whom I call May) thought up the nickname "Mars" for it and to date is one of the only people who keeps my first name relevant.

Failed nicknames include Tina (that lasted all of a week), Anitsirc (back when saying your name backwards was AWESOME -- I've just dated myself), Mary (also a derivative of my 1st name).

I forgot "Tun Tin". That would be pronounced like "toon teen", and only my grandmother calls me that. She sometimes shortens it to "Tunti" (toon-tee). That one stems from your typical "Aw, the baby butchered her own name, let's make sure she remembers this for the rest of her life" situation!
