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?

My RL nickname = Toni. From my first name, which pretty much makes me a nyotalia version of Spain, unwittingly orz.

It was given to me by a boy I had a huge crush on in highschool. We were lulzing about "Ali G" and then he turned around and went "ahaha if you were gangsta your name would be Toni D!" ...And I HATED it because it was a "boy's name". |D And because my grandad had the same nickname (only he was Tony). Eventually though I just grew used to it because my friends just kept calling me that and now it sort of makes me dere orz.

"Cande" though...Cande is just because CandeSCERES is a mouthful and people are apparently lazy. |D Plus it sounds like "Candy", so. <3

D'awwww gangsta Cande what a cute image. I think everyone's answers are making me dere over them but still, picturing you in a backwards baseball cap and oversized clothes with bling...

What does the whole word "Candesceres" mean? If it means anything at all. (Oh good, I'm glad you're meant to say it "Candy" because that's what I've been doing. >>)
