Bicky, Biffy, Chuffy, Gussie, Tuppy, Bingo, Stinker, Catsmeat, Oofy, Stiffy, Corky, Rocky...

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 first name is already ending in a long e sound, so you don't get much from that (pronounced kay-lee).

My last name even more so. It's just not Wodehousian material! *woe*

My nickname, though, taken from my net alias, is what about 95% of my friends call me anyway. So there's quite a few... Kas/Kaz, Kassy/Kazzy, Sass. Hell, I've even got a Sassafras.
