I have a certain penchant for nicknames. Aliases and epithets have naturally come to my lips for most of my friends and family members. I'm not sure why, maybe it helps my mind work--one of my creative outlets? Were these people inadequately named by their parents? Probably not, I consider my work to be additions not replacements.
In the realm of nicknames, I must pay homage to Trevor and Philip Corrigan. While I am a mere amateur in this field, they are Grandmasters. Having tuned their trade in the fertile fields of an Irish Dancing troop, I am no match for their creativity and prowess in art of nicknaming. I still laugh myself silly thinking of their creations, but I am not able to share them in order to protect those nicknamed.
Those I have nicknamed:
Pear - Snuggle Britches, Pumpkin Pants, Princess Pear, My little Swedish Pear
Paige - Lovely girl, Babe, Hun, Beautiful girl, Wonderful
Jovie - J Jove, Jumpin' Jove, Googly Bear
Warren - WarrenOtis, The Otis Man

Wyatt - Bub, Wyatt the Buyit
Melina - Nina, Neen
Chase - Floyd
Doug - Paps
Racer - Bruce, The Chicken Man
Hutton - Ned
Uncle Rick - Richard the Large
Cousin Adam - Adam Faddam
Jon Falcon - Jonboy Falcon

Philip - Crazy Phil, Shrodei
