I can't think straight. Haha yet i am here to write. I was reading an article on the today's new paper. It was about how people do not like their name to be recited in the short form. The writer gave an example of a particular Joesph who got offended when he was called Jo. I thought it was raher funny especially when it concerns me. In all the twenty -three years of my life, there are people who are still coming out with a shorter form for my name. May it be short, nasty humorous. The famous ones are, "Godzilla", "Cock" and "Coca Cola". Some guys just go over the extend of making it flamboyant by adding differnt song tunes and voice controls. At first, it was exasperating but now i am immune to this. After all people need to ammuse themselves. I am glad i am of help!
In truth, in my three group of friends i know, they all call me in different ways. One group call me Koki. Like the pocky chocolate biscuit. Another group calls me Kok affectionately with some add ons like kokopops and Koky. The last group are the only ones who call me Kokila. Sounds beautiful but like everything good comes with a bit of let down, they rhyme my name. Like Kokila and Oklah. These group even contemplate on which culture my name is from since i don't even know the meaning of my name. Hawaiian, jap and african are the possible outcomes so far....sigh... oh yah! At home they call me Kola.
I agree that my name is a mouthful and i expect people to call in shorter forms. Even my friend Letitia, whose got a pretty model name is called Loti, like the bread. My other friend Reena, who has got only two syllables has got nicknames like the elli and rat because of her petitie body structue. One think I noticed though, only females are given all the nicknames and mostly named by the guys. The guys might have one among themselves but they won't share it to the others or even if shared, the girls are just too nice to use that nickname. Either that, or the nickname is crude.
Whatever it is. I will like to believe that this shorter, funnier name callings depends on how open minded the person is and how much pun he or she is willing to tolerate. Also name calling is a form of art which potrats affection. Just that more affection is shown to me thats all. ;)
