My all time favourite is "Bike is short for Bichael."

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

It’s very appreciated. I’d say too appreciated.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

A friend once took a sharpie to a buddy's name tag at work, changing Craig to Graig. At first he couldn't figure out why the customers kept calling him Greg, then some lady said something like "I've never seen such a unique spelling of the name Graig before. He looked down n saw his name tag. Hilarity ensued. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who works with a Craig at a job that people wear name tags for.

A girl I went to high school with had a teddy bear named Tedward.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

My mom has a dog named Teddy and me and my wife call him Tedward or Teddison all the time.

Help me out, what's a good one for Jessica? I wanna annoy my sister :)

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have used Jessandra/Jessessandra, Jessinald, Jesstancia, Jessentina, Jessanca, Jesstoria, Jessody, Jesselia, Jessolet, Jessilda, Jessephine, Jessevieve, Jessentine, Jesselaide, Jessalie, Jesselope, Jessatrice, Jesselia, and many more. Just because she introduced herself saying her name was easier to remember than the other two that had just introduced themselves. Admittedly I can't remember their names.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yay! This is a gold mine. Thank you

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

No problem Kaselina.

I'm afraid you're shit out of luck. Jessica is already an elongated name. If it were something like Jess, you could use Jessilda.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Oh yeah I pretty much exclusively call her Jess or J. Not sure why I didn't just put Jess in the original comment lol.

Jesslinda is amazing! She's gonna hate it, it's perfect. Ooh, I like Jessabeth too.

I forgot all about it, but when we were younger I used to call her random J names for a while. Jeremy was a favorite. Good times.

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You could always throw on a hyphenated middle name. She's no longer Jessica, she's Jessica-Anne.

I have a short full name, think something along the lines of "Sam Dal" (it's not, but same vibes), a lot of people ask what Sam is short for, but the answer is nothing, my legal name is just Sam. My friends will call me "Samuel Jay Dalford" as running joke. Made additionally funny because it's a masculine name and I'm not a man.

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Reminds me of my old coworker Frank. His dad was Fransisco but his parents just went for straight up Frank lmao

[–] Doodleschmit@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Sometimes I call a coworker Stevinold. He's usually nonplussed about it.

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

I do that when I fuck with scammers. When I give them fake names I come up with some improper spelling of an incorrect long form name....Or do I? Maybe I stopped doing that recently...If any scammers from any country are reading this, I'm always changing my methods.

Damien Haas? Is that you?
