Q&A for How to Come up With a Cool Nickname

You have all kinds of options: Sofie, Fia, Fifi, El, Lee, Lia, Eli, Elsie, etc.

Elkie or Kiki are cute names.

Sage is a very pretty name, and very short, making it hard to make nicknames out of it. Maybe try "Say".

Rubes or Bee. Rubi is a shorter name, so it might be harder to come up with a nickname.

Tabby or Tabi are very common. Tabby Cat might be used by closer friends or family.

Luke, Luca or Cas. However, I'm not sure you can give yourself a nickname.

You could call them: Ollie, Liv, Revi, and Olive. Don't feel like you need a nickname though, because Oliver is a really cool name.

Lars or L-rah are really cute. I am assuming it is a female name, so maybe match it to her personality.

For Javier, it could be "Avie". As for Ian, you could try "E" (the sound).

Use their I initials to make up a common phrase. Or you can use something they are good at such as B.B. if they are good at basketball.

For Kingsford you could do KF, King, or Ford. For Emmanuel, you could do EM (the letters), Em (the sound), or Emma.

You could go with L-ra, Aura, or Lars. I think Arual (pronounced "oral") is creative, though. That's Laura spelled backwards.

Maybe Es (pronounced "s") or Estie (pronounced like "bestie" with no b), or you could go by Queen because of Queen Esther from the Bible.

I would suggest Aussie.

Nat is the most commonly used for Nathan. You could also do NT, or a combination of the first and last names (i.e. if it was Nathan Johnson, you could do NJ). It is up to whatever you prefer.

Maybe try combining your first and last name together. Try Smore.

Mwape is a beautiful and exotic name, but "Mwa" would be a good nickname.

Shar, Dee, Arsha, Darsh or Dee Dee would all work well in this instance.

Ab, Bey, Beyab, Abeyabs, Bey-bey, Abbs, Yeba, and many others. Just switch letters.

Livvy or simply Grace works great, It really is up to you. If you're asking on behalf of someone else, maybe ask them what they'd prefer.

Mo-Mo, Moni, Mona, Nika, Oni, Mia, etc.

Eidi, Dee Dee, Hides, etc.

Sof, Sophie, and S (the letter) are all fairly common nicknames for Sophia. It is up to what you prefer, and how unique you'd like it to be.

Whatever suits you and fits with your personality. For example, your name is Bernadette and you like birds a lot, you could pick Birdie!

Ems, Em, Milly, and Mill are all examples of a nickname for Emily.

"Al" or "Lina" are both good nicknames for Alina.

Saffy, Saffron, Fia, Saf, Ji, J, Han, Hans, and Afia are some ideas. My favorite is Saffy, though.

EMerald, EMergency. Check if your friend is OK with this first.

A nickname is a name others call you that isn't your real name. It is supposed to be fun and not offensive.

"Rubes," "Rue," or "Bee." Rubi is a shorter name, so it might be harder to come up with a lot of nicknames.
