What Is A Nickname I Can Call My Little Brother Dalon

What are funny nicknames to call your sister?

“The maid” “slave” “future mommy” “waitress” “bottle washer” “stepnfetch” “she devil” “ms.thang" “princess” “mamma jamma"

Do you have a nickname that you go by instead of your real name? If so, what is it?

Yes apparently I have many. These are all variations on an original theme passed down to me through the years.I was born in London and given a name which is actually of French origin. Jacqueline. However, apart from my doctor, and a Quora friend who texts me occasionally, no one ever calls me that.However I got my legitimate nickname which is Jacky when I was really young and that is the official one which I use. However, for some strange reason different people have taken to call me different things and here they are.My close friends, sister and uncle call me ‘Jack’.My mother when she was alive always referred to me as ‘Jackela’ (an endearing take on it).My friend in Australia calls me ‘Jacks’, sometimes ‘Jacksy’. Her husband calls me ‘Jackso’.One of my Quora friends calls me ‘Jax’ a joke between us but it has now stuck.Many people write my name as ‘Jackie’ even though that is completely alien to me. I do not get offended by the error, I just do not recognise it as ME.When I first started on Quora lots of people who I must say were indeed very polite, kept replying to me by using the term ‘Sir’. This was indeed getting a little worrying, especially as I did have my proper profile picture which for all intents and purposes I believed to look more feminine than masculine, but there you are. Now Quorans are getting to know me, that aspect has declined and I have gone back to being ma’am, which I must say is preferable.As far as ALL my nicknames go, I consider them all terms of endearment and everyone is acceptable.Jacky, Jack, Jackela, Jacks, Jacksy, Jackso, Jax.

Its a BOY! We picked out the name Cayden....?

OMG i love that name that's going to be our boy but we are going to spell it Kaydian if we ever have a boy. LOL we picked it out before we found out what we were having. You should call him CJ or Cay. Congrats!!!!!!!!! Love the name!

Is the name 'Dale' short for something (nickname)?

i knew a girl named dalynn (day-lyn) we sometimes called her dale but i don't know of any for a boy...my half sisters step-dad is named dale i couldn't imagine a baby named dale either but i guess they all had to be babies once...lol...

on a side note: my nephews name is james but he goes by jim (he is 5) and most people are like "your nephews name is jim, that seams like and old man's name" but when you meet him, he is totally a jim! so maybe they just look like dales!

What names to name a baby boy to have the nickname D J?

there's a million choices for that. but if you've already decided you're gonna call him DJ, why not just name him DJ? it'd be kinda unique without being outlandish and stupid.

My sister in law stole my baby name!?

You have every reason to be upset, but unlike your sister in law, you are a lady, with honor and creativity (unlike her, apparently). Over time you will be able to get over it, and thankfully you have another seven months to think of an even BETTER name. When the time comes when you are face to face, kill her with kindness. Trust me, it will make her feel even guiltier.

btw, under no circumstances should you name your child the same name. YOU will be the one who ends up looking like a name stealing moron if you do this, trust me.

Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Yes.

Baby Name Advice - nicknames for 'John'?

Every male in my husband's family is named John. There are Johnnys, Uncle Johns, John Johns, Jacks, etc all over the place. My husband is insisting that we continue this tradition (and made me feel totally guilty by saying "why don't you want to name our son after me?"). Since he is wonderful and there's no one I'd rather name our son after, I'm agreeing but really want to give our baby an identity of his own. I don't want to have to call him Baby John or Little John all the time to differentiate him from his Daddy. I hate initial names (J.T., J.R., etc.) and have suggested calling him by his middle name (i.e. John Finley, call him Finn) but my husband wants it to be closer to John. Also, I've looked into some alternatives like naming him John but calling him Shane which is an Irish nickname for John. Help!

We both like John Hudson, John Albert and John Finley if that helps at all. Open to all ideas, thanks!!

What do you think of the name Elsa?

Its a stunning and timeless classic, and a very uncommon alternative to the name Elizabeth. It could also work as a nickname for Elizabeth or Elisa.

Baby name Jack or John?

I'm all for John Patrick, nickname John. ;)

That way, he DOES have the option of a more formal, mature name should he ever want it (I tend to agree with the "older folks," though Jack is a fine pet form), or even simply an alternative to MORE popular Jack (should he ever need to differentiate from another in his class, office, etc.). You may not realize, but when you take into account the number of Jacksons out there (nearly all of which are named so with the intended nickname Jack, of course), there were literally 21,440 Jack(son)s born in 2006 alone ... and only 14,924 Johns. And that's not counting Jaxon, Jaxson, etc., who might also use Jack as a shortening.

Add in the fact that John Patrick sounds quite distinguished, while Jack Patrick sounds a bit too repetitive (with the similar "a" and "ck" blends in both), and I'm fully sold on John as the given name, with Jack as the nickname.

And honestly, most are already quite familiar with Jack and its origins, so I truly don't think you'd have any problem with it "sticking." ;)

Given the Irish surname mention, however, you could also consider using Jack as a nickname for Celtic forms Ian, Sean, Evan, Eoin (said like Owen, if you're unfamiliar), etc. After all, all are forms of John that happen to fit with your surname/heritage, and its possible one would appeal on a higher level (not simply to give him a more formal option, but also to get to use TWO forms -- the Celtic translation and nickname -- you'd like equally). Just a thought!
