How to Pick a Good Nickname — Step by Step

  1. Brainstorm: Pick a category (rhyming, food, epic) and list a few favorites from above or make your own variations.
  2. Try it casually: Use the nickname once or twice in a relaxed setting to see the reaction.
  3. Ask permission: If you plan to use it often, ask the person if they like it. Some people love nicknames; others prefer their full name.
  4. Respect boundaries: If they say they don’t like it or seem uncomfortable, stop and choose another or use their given name.
