Nickname origins.

[hellzabeth]

So I'm bored and I finished writing FT early and then Nena was rambling to me about Russia and told me that "nenaglyadnaya" means "adorable" or "beautiful" in Russian.

She apparently didn't see the whole "Nenaglyadnaya", but I nearly cuted myself to death.

So then I doodled something cute.


Ain't she a squish? Hands off she's mine B|

So yeah, now instead of Nena's nickname coming from Veneno (Latin for Poison) -> Neno -> Nena, it is now short for "adorable".

Also I did me since I was bored.


Hi guys. So my nickname derives from my last name, Dove, which a friend once said was basically an albino pigeon and the name Pidge stuck.

Since I'm a curious bugger, what's the origins of your nicknames, flist?

Mine's a not-do-clever play on my actual name and also points to the origins of the word "tawdry".

Your name's Audrey then? I have only met one other person in my whole life with that name, and she was a 5 year old.

So I'll probably end up picturing you as her by accident now. D'aww.
