Fabulous nicknames.

If you had a Woosterverse nickname -- based on your REAL name more or less, mind you, not your online handle, unless there's a good reason it should be something else -- what do you figure it would be?

I imagine I'd end up Monty, for Monica (I've heard the name shortened to that before). My online name (Venna), which I AM called offline, has a good solid reason behind it, but it doesn't have the ring of a Wooster nickname. I could see maybe Venny, though. A lot of them are based on last names but I'm afraid MY last name is already taken -- it was evidently Oscar Wilde's nickname at Oxford. *snickers* If I were more of a horse person I could see me getting named Filly, for my confirmation-name Felicity, but I detest horses. Which may in itself be a reason to get a nickname like that, actually...

My friends call me Tilly -- shortening of my last name, actually. I thought it sounded rather Wodehousian. I've also been occasionally called Tills and Tilly-hat. o_O My first name is Sarah...too short for nicknames.
