Nicknames can be used to describe the character of an individual, the look of an individual, or a quick way of shortening a persons name. Some nicknames are given by others, while some nicknames are derived by the individual. Whatever the case, the nickname is unique to that person. Although some individuals may have the same nickname, but from where that nickname was derived from is unique. We have compiled over 3,500 different and unique nicknames in alphabetical order, but we didnt stop there. We decided to add a little humor by thinking out loud and wondering why someone has such a nickname.
