Shalot's thread got me thinking. I have a habit of shortening peoples user names, I don't think I've ever asked anybody if they liked it or not I just do it. (ie Nightshade = Nightie, Dramasnot = Snot, etc...) So do you guys care? Does it bother anybody? And do you have pet names for other litnetters???
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Well:
Andave ya- Adya or andya
Nightshade- Nightie
Aimus sage- Aims or just aimus
Papaya- Paps
Virgil- Virg
Wiesenhimer- Wies
Lady Wentworth- she was LadyW until LadyW signed up, now shes LW or LadyWent.
Lily Adams- Miss Lily
PrinceMysKin-PM
FifthElement- I call you Ellie but i've never posted it.

yeah I will see a person's name and automatically read my nickname for him/her:
kiz paws: kiz
B-Mental - B
Pendragon - Pen
Madhuri - Maddie
Bakiryu: baki (or roo)
Sleepywitch: sleepy
Lily Adams: Lily
There are more. And then there are those that don't get shortened for whatever reason. like Virgil is just Virgil and Niamh is Niamh (although I just can't get away from the whole mental NI-MUH pronunciation I have going on - I've read how you're supposed to say it and I just can't get there) and Idril is Idril. and so on. and for whatever reason, papayahed is always papayahed instead of papaya - for some reason I can't shorten that one either. dunno why.

YOU GUYS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU I HATE LILY.Never call me that!
I was almost going to call Rockitcza Rocky, but she likes Kit, ha ha.
I usually take the most obvious shortened version if there is one.
I call BulletProofDork BPD and AdoreroDio Addy.
Tomorrow always holds the promise of something new and exciting. I am the Jetsons meet the Flintstones.
I like Robin - short, simple, and reminiscent of heroism.

how about a hyphen between B and M?j/k
Yes, Baki already mentioned it, she calls me Nikki!
Actually the first time she did it, she did it Niki-- even more porn star!! Anyway I don't mind. I don't know why but other people change the spelling of it: Nikolay, Nicholai, Nicolai.
But anyhow, Nikki is fine. I don't care. I mean, if we ask the question, why would a series of letters mean anything anyway???
If anyone wants to, they can always call me Nikolai Ilyitch (my full name) Goldyakin.Or Nik, like most people do.
Andava ya - andave
Papayahed - papaya
Scheherazade - Scher
Jay - Jay (can't shorten it any more and anyway Jay sounds very nice)
Taliesin - Tal (or Tali) In my language, Tali refers to some word meaning 'clapping'.
Niamh - Niamh (I like the sound of Niamh and it's already too brief)
Virgil - Virgil (I just like the sound of Virgil and like Niamh, it's already brief too)
Lote-Tree - Lote (Lote-Tree is quite long!)
Bakiryu - Bakiryu (or sometimes I use Bakiry but then Bakiry in my tongue means a goat and as I am not too fond of goats, I prefer not to call her that)
NikolaiI - Nikolai
B-Mental - B
toni - toni (it's already too brief)
Laindeisall (man sorry I have forgotten the spelling as I never use the full name) - Lain
Lily Adams - Lily
dramasnot6 - dramasnot
Kaltrina - Kaltrina
Adilyoussef - Adil
Emily (I have forgotten the full username too because I never used it) - Emily
amuse - amuse (the sound of amuse is amusing)
baddad - baddad (the name of baddad would lose the charm if shortened or lengthened
Basil - Basil
formality-hater - formality
Pendragon - Pen
crazefest456 - crazefest
symphony - symphony (I just like the sound of symphony)
SweetsAmerica - Sweets
AimusSage - Aimus
Janine - Janine is fine as Janine
Downing - downing (though I wanted to shorten it but then couldn't think of something other than 'down' which I didn't like)
Nightshade - Night
Robinhood3000 - Robin (his actual one is tooo long!)
SleepyWitch - Witch (I think I just mentioned that once in some thread and she liked it so I just started using it
Shalot - Shalot (I like Shalot, yes Shalot don't hate your name
Koa - Koa (I love the sound of Koa alone, it's precise and nice!)
EAP - I want to use something for him that my perfectly good nature stops me from.
---
I hope I have covered a good number, most of those at least that I often shorten and others which I would have liked twisting but due to something/another couldn't. I am afraid I have this habit of shortening or twisting user-names too, find it fun and it saves time too (by shortening), hope people don't mind that.
