Funny Nicknames

Growing up, our families, mostly parents and friends tend to award us with nicknames. A slight alteration to our names where Melissa becomes Mel or Lisa and Edward becomes Ed or Eddie. Fortunately or unfortunately, I never got a nickname that I could wear it proudly (kinda feel sad about that).

But the fact is, there are no rules that state you can't give funny names or stir things up a bit. If you wish to give one to your friends, family members, or colleagues a new nickname, and hope that it sticks, encourage other people to adopt it as well. And if they sometimes forget to do so, just remind them about while using that nickname in a sentence.

Carla: Hey, has anyone seen Gavin today?
You: No, I don't think Goober's come in yet.

As time flies, everyone will start to catch on the new nickname's trend and use it themselves without you having to remind them. Plus, another major criteria for any nickname to stay on forever, do not change it. Any changes while giving people witty nicknames can become a fatal error, and who knows, might just be forgotten. So let's get on with finding meaningful for guys and girls.

I believe giving funny and cute nicknames to girls is an easy task. There are so many names to choose from and basically, any nickname you select, it will work really well.

You can inspire yourself by cutting their names in short, choosing the first or second half of their names, or alter it completely. That depends entirely up to you. And to help you make the decision, take a look at the table below for invigorate your creativity.

For guys, this could be a tricky one. You don't want to scare them by giving a "girlie" name that might just embarrass them in public. Depending on your relationship with this guy, coming up with wacky nicknames which others can use as well can take a while. So while you're thinking of certain funny nicknames for guys, take a look at the list mentioned here.

• Aaron ~ Arie or Aaro
• Barry ~ Bear or Baby Bear
• Cedric ~ Ceddie or Rico

There you have it. Tons of funny pet names to choose from and preferably changing someone's name and persona with them as well. Have fun while giving these nicknames to whoever is going to be your next target. But before I end this post, all I'd like to say is that don't be mean with the names too.

You don't want to give someone an embarrassing nickname that he/she isn't too keen on. So if that nickname is hurting or upsetting them, try to find something that will sounds appealing to everyone (especially the person whose name you're going to change).
