A nickname is a shortened substitute for the proper name of a familiar person, place or thing, for affection or ridicule.The term hypocoristic is used to refer to a nickname of affection between those in love or with a close emotional bond, compared with a term of endearment. The term diminutive name refers to nicknames that convey smallness, hence something regarded with affection or familiarity (e.g., referring to children), or contempt.The distinction between the two is often blurred.
