The Power of Nicknames: Understanding the Art of Name-Giving

A nickname is a name that is given to someone as an alternative to their real name. It is often used to shorten a person's full name, or to give them a more informal or affectionate name. For example, "John" might be called "Johnny" or "Johnie" as a nickname.

A nicknamer is someone who gives someone else a nickname. It can also refer to the act of giving someone a nickname. For example, "She's always coming up with new nicknames for her friends."
