#pennedpossibilities 235 — MC or SC POV: Did you have a childhood nickname?
They have a relatively formalised naming tradition: Anika’s name is Aniketa, Anika is her daily name, Ana is her family nickname. Mateo is Mattias, Mateo, Teo (Tay-o). He’s trans, so his literal childhood nickname was something different, but with that same structured methodology.
And then there’s freaking Timon, and that’s just his name and that’s all there is to it.
