Help[Opinions] My brother's nickname
This is totally not meant to offend anyone. I just think it's silly. my brother's name is Cristian, no H, and my cousin Cory gave him a nn of couple of years ago. It started out only Cory calling him this, then it branched out to Cory's friends who didn't like Cristian (he is, admittedly, a bit of a schmuck.) Now everyone but his family calls him this, including people he works with.
We get phone calls all the time asking for this name, and it always takes me a moment to register what and who they mean.
My brother Cristian is called... Church.
My mother and I were just discussing how particularly unnicknameable my name is (thus the thread below), and how she'd never meant for his name to be nn'd either. And in Cory's odd reasoning, he is called Church after Church's Chicken (why?, who knows) and is not an association of religion, like one might think. My mom says that if he HAD to have a nn, which she never wanted, she'd take Church over Cris any day. We both actually think it's somewhat funny. What do you all think? And does anyone else have any odd nicknames?
