Nickname Ideas and Lists

Some nicknames are centuries old and follow patterns you'd never guess: Robert became Bob, Margaret became Peggy, and Elizabeth produced dozens of forms on her own. Others are brand new, invented between two people who needed a word for each other. These lists cover both.

Each name list explains where its nicknames come from, and the relationship lists sort pet names by mood, from sweet to silly. Every page also has the Nickname Generator built in, already set up for that topic, so you can keep going once you've read the list.
