Alex 💎Fitz’s version💎 :
I have one character, Luna Black, (very basic ik) and her best friend calls her either Luns or Moon bc she’s pale, they’re in the 2010’s as a time setting.

made a charater names Soyala and her friends started calling her Soy Sauce.
Most of my characters in my writing projects have really intuitive nicknames: Jess for Jesse, Kol for Kolbie, Kas for Kasper, etc. Vincent’s nicknames are also pretty intuitive to his name but he has more than one depending on who he’s talking to. Most people shorten Vincent to Vince but his girlfriend calls him Vinnie. Then there’s Mikhail who doesn’t go by a nickname except around family, then he’s Misha which is the typical Russian short form. I have a couple characters who’s nicknames come from the back half of their name: Nori for Lenore, Benny for Corbin, and Ari for Amari. Then theres a few characters that almost exclusively go by their nicknames to the point that they’re basically just their full names at this point Annie/Anastasia, Nelly/Penelope, Gwen/Gwendolyn. And some characters have no nicknames at all because it just doesn’t make sense for them: Nyx, Gavin, Dane, Scott, etc.

✨ Isa ✨ :
These are fantasy names Altair = Al and Lyra = Ly. These two characters are best friends so when calling each other, they’re using nicknames now to me, Al for Altair sounds good and can we used often throughout the book but I don’t know about Ly for Lyra I mean it’s already a pretty short name. Any suggestions?

I have a character named Nazaire, his nickname is "Zari". To me, the nickname "Nazzie" or something similar to that came more naturally, but it sounds too much like another certain word😭

I had my character names but realized their names can’t be used in the time setting for my book so I tried to give them all diffrent names so their “old” names could be their nicknames (which are modern but it makes sense when you read the book€
