What’s in a nickname

What’s the story behind your nickname?

There really isn’t much of a story because I don’t exactly have any nicknames.

For online gaming my username is typically some variation of Arborial_Dragon (with and without the underscore separating, sometimes no space, sometimes a period) but I’m usually just called “Dragon” because that’s easier for people to say than “Arborial”. One streamer I used to chat with called me “Arbo”, though.

I don’t have any nicknames with my friends, and my family doesn’t typically call me anything other than my first name. My nieces and nephews as toddlers are a different story. They can’t enunciate well so they usually just said “Tay” or “Ay”.

Fairly standard nicknaming, I think.
