nicknames
1. Do you have any nicknames or other names that you or others use to refer to you on a regular basis?
Yes, a few... one of them is my username here.
2. Did you adopt it/them, or did someone else or a group give it/them to you?
Some were given by family and others by friends, co-workers, my husband..
3. Is it okay for anyone to use it/them, or is it a mark of intimacy/familiarity for someone to be allowed to use it/them?
The nicknames used in my family have cultural significance (and are in another language), so generally no one else knows what they mean ~ anyone who is close enough to me to know them can use them, but it's more frequently only family that does. There are others that are specific to individual friends, and in some cases my 'real' name is rarely used.
4. Do you tend to make up nicknames for your friends and/or partners?
For people I am close to, or people I dislike.. some people probably don't want to know what their nicknames are :P
5. Do you use those nicknames you make up in day-to-day conversation, or only when referring to the person in the third person?
Day-to-day conversation, definitely.
