Nick

Nickname, often shortened to "Nick," is an informal or familiar name given to someone instead of their full name. It often reflects a person's personality, interests, or a shortened version of their real name. For example, "William" might become "Bill," or "Elizabeth" might be "Liz." Nicks create a sense of closeness or camaraderie and are commonly used among friends, family, or in casual settings. They can also be used to distinguish individuals with common names, making communication more personal and approachable.
