Topic: How do you get people to use the nickname you want to be called?

Anonymous A started this discussion 7 years ago #77,842

Like say you wanted to be called "iceman". How would you make this stick?

I mean without, like, "I identify as Iceman" or anything gay like that.

Legally change your name to Iceman.

Where I work, people will have long, ghetto sounding names and will just tell people their nickname. Like Shanikkiria will say call me Nikki and people will do it.

Claim to hate being called Iceman. Pack a sad about it and your friends will call you that forever

@910,298 (Kook !!a6qjFG7HF)
What if you have a short Anglo name that doesn't lend itself to abbreviation like that?

@910,318 (Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU)
I tried that already and they started calling me R Kizzle :(
