Nicknames are powerful. They can become almost more important than your given name in some cases. But there are two types of nicknames: ones that you choose, and ones that are thrust upon you.

It’s a well-worn trope that celebrities give their children wacky names (Think North West, Moon Unit Zappa, or most of Nick Cannon’s many children). I wonder why that is.

Unmarried childless woman insists her sister rename her baby because his name is on her baby names list, their parents double down on her demands: ‘They said she prides herself on that list’
Who could forget the S*x and the City episode where Charlotte finds out that an acquaintance of hers stole the unique baby name that she had planned to use? It’s funny because it’s kind of an absurd thing to be angry about, but it’s a totally relatable and understandable feeling. But as far as I …
