Ahh interesting, I have thougt about this mostly for Zov'ha, and its menioned in the stories as well!

Zov'ha: Zov (called by many but she doesn't like it because Yar'cax used to call her that), Girl / girlie (by Marana), Little Hellion (by Subeya)

Aekis: No names for him. Everyone calls him Aekis, but I imagine Marana may call him "that creepy dude"

Marana: Being the most fun one you might think that everyone has a cool name for her. But they don't

Sinovan: Sin

Subeya: Beya, big girl

Licia is such a cool shortform for Alicia!

And love the art by Mariel!!! Great job

Thank you ! And I agree she did a stellar job, I love it so much! And I agree, while I chose the name Alicia for the lead and it seemed to work, saying it often feels a bit awkward in sentences I think. I think in poetry because i've written it so much, and I always think about how sentences will sound strung together, and Alicia can get a bit long and clunky, so I have most people refer to her as Licia as it sounds softer.

In my comic, Roland and Zyphella call each other Rolly and Zyphy. I don't think any of the other characters have gotten nicknames.

Vervain calls Ran Pet, later on he calls her Starlight in reference to her old name and her true name in her current life. Beloved is another one. He gets a lot as their relationship grows.

Ran has a really hard time figuring out a good enough nickname for him, she might call him Jaeger or Nunyae as she gets to know him.

Cenric calls Vrakh by so many names (95% insulting and he calls him "crybaby", "dude", "creep", and many more. I spilled it a lil in the game topic haha). Other than Vrakh, he does not really call anyone with nicknames. But he does give labels to other characters (but never calls them with that). For example, Benetta is witch to him.

Atreus does not call people with nicknames, but when he has a crush he refers her as "my love"

Ilze uses everything to call Cenric because she does not know Cenric's name until later in the story. Basically "You"

Vrakh always calls Cenric "Kid", but sometimes calls him "Friend".

If anyone curious: (Vrakh is still in future updates tho)

Just realised my characters don't have any cute nicknames for each other, they are always calling each other by their names (and shorter forms of names, but it's very basic, like Will for Willhelm) or surnames.
Only the MC has a nickname, Kestrel, but it's more of a, let's say, stage name and only one character throughout the whole series refers to her with her real name, which is Blanka.

ChiLiang : Fia (to Fiammetta) or roasted chicken, old man or grumpy towards his granfather.
Fiammetta: Chilly (to ChiLiang, wich is finally since she's technicallyu call him chill)

I want my characters to have cuter nicknames for each other as this is such a cool post

In 'Airy Nothing', Jack calls John 'My Fair One' and occasionally John replies with 'My Red One' because of the colour of their hair.

In 'Blooming Alphas', Akira calls Harry 'idiot' and Harry refuses to use Akira's whole name and shortens it to 'Aki'.
Harry is not Harry's real name, he absolutely hates his real name, if that counts for anything!

Leyelle 2024-02-07 21:23:59 UTC #17

i guess a name that isn't yours counts as a nickname?

ThunderChicken 2024-02-07 21:38:02 UTC #18

Carmen in Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days is also known as Asterixx (this was the online name he used on IRC - Asterix was already taken so he added an X), Thunder Chicken (Because he has an irrational love for Ford Thunderbirds), and TC (short for Thunder Chicken)

Leyelle 2024-02-07 21:41:09 UTC #19

other people call him this, or he calls himself this? not that it's a problem either way just wondering

ThunderChicken 2024-02-07 21:50:41 UTC #20

Other people call him this. In fact for a lot of people those are/were the only names they know him by

Leyelle 2024-02-25 12:46:06 UTC #21

Me rereading this topic days later: if I was Subeya I would hate being called "big girl."

Jinwoo always calls his little sister Jimin "Jiminie"

She just made her debut today so I hope everyone falls in love with her lol.

abigaillmartin 2024-03-15 17:10:21 UTC #23

Ernest affectionately addresses Elsie as “lass.” Don’t know if it counts.

All the gang especially Ernest calls Rosemary “Rosie”

Nothing really creative to be honest.

Leyelle 2024-03-15 17:17:50 UTC #24

Neither are 'Jiminie' or 'Licia' particularly creative lol, but I don't think 'lass' counts as a nickname anymore than 'bro' or 'dude' count as nicknames
