flist friday: nicknames
Happy Friday!
I hope you guys are having a good one and that the waether will cooperate with whatever you want to do over the weekend! Here it's suppose to be cold but sunny so I hope I'll be able to spend a nice Sunday with Eric on the Vespa, going to visit our favorite spots before he leaves. He's going to be on Watch* on Saturday so I'll drop him off on Saturday morning at 7.29 and I'll be able to pick him up on Sunday at 7.31.
*Watch: On Yachts there always have to be someone on board when in Port, so there is a rooster in place where every day one member of every department (Interior Stewart/Stewardess, Deckhand and Engineer) has to stay on board on call for 24 hours. These 3 crew members can't leave the boat and have to take care of some tasks, like rounds and complete checklists.
The question I want to ask you today is from one of the Memes I did a while ago, so for some of you I might already know the answer (but I probably forgot because I'm so bad a remembering these kind of things) but please feel free to repeat if you feel to:
.What's the story behind your nick name?
.Do you have the same nickname everywhere or you have different ones? In that case What's your favorite?
.Was your nickname here on LJ your one and only choice or you had some other ones in mind? What made you choose this one, in that case?
For me it's easy and lame LOL. My nickname is erychan86 because my name is Erika (but my friends call me Ery) Chan is because I grew up loving manga and anime and I am the kind of person who would be called Erika-chan by everyone xD and 86 because I was born in 1986 :D
I'm erychan86 or simply erychan everywhere. I think my first nickname was akirE, but it was a LONG TIME AGO. I always use erychan/erychan86 when I fill in the nick name part because I'm so used to it and I've never thought about changing it! :D
What about you?

Well, my lj name is a combo of Batman and Marg. My various nicknames out in the world vary.
.Do you have the same nickname everywhere or you have different ones? In that case What's your favorite?
As said, I have lots of different nicknames. A decent number of people call me Margaret, but just as many use nicknames. Marg (hard g) is the primary one. Others include: Batman, Margi, Peg (ew lol), "the girl who likes the ipas" (at a restaurant I frequent), Magwai which eventually became Mugway which eventually became Muggy which finally became Mug, Margarita, and honestly a bunch more I can't think of atm.
Marg is my favorite though, since it's the most used and not one I feel like I have to explain when introduced to a new person.
.Was your nickname here on LJ your one and only choice or you had some other ones in mind? What made you choose this one, in that case?
I went straight for my one. I basically wanted my name to be batman, but I wanted a twist to it too.

Same here... In real life people calls me Ery or E and I like them both... it feels like when they use my entire name I did something wrong and they're mad at me xD I guess with my name that's about it... It's difficult to evolve into other nicknames... My cousins call me Ika because when they were kids they couldn't pronounce the Rs xD
