Do you have a lot of friends? How do you call them – by their names or nicknames?
Well, nicknames are cool! Some are cute, some are sweet, some are witty, and some are totally senseless!
Whatever it is for you, calling your best friends by their nicknames shows how fond you are of them. And this contributes a lot to your bond.
After all, they are your FRIENDS! They support you no matter what, stay by your side during your ups and downs and listen to all your serious, silly, and emotional talks without judging you. In short, you can just bare your heart to them – about your dreams, your crushes, and your future plans.
And did I tell you how you can gossip with them about just anything and everything?
Also, you can call them whenever you need them – it doesn’t matter what time of the day it is – and they will be there for you. So, when you give your friends a moniker and call them by it, it does boost their sense of belonging!
Do you have any bynames in mind for your best friends, or are you looking for some?
Well, I’m here to make the search easy for you. So, don’t stress.
