Day 12 - Nicknames



"Your nicknames and why you have them."


This post would be brief. I'm feeling dreadful today, I might be coming down with a fever. I only have a few nicknames..

  • Pangga - This is the nickname my Dad uses to call me. It's a short term for the Ilonggo word "Palangga" which means beloved. I'm the only girl in the family.. the pampered Daddy's girl. So I guess, I don't have to explain further why he chooses to call me that sweet nickname. ☺ 
  • Nene - Mom and some of my closest friends choose to call me "nene". It's a typical Filipino nickname. I think, it means a kid at heart or a young girl. I love being called "nene", however almost every other girl in our neighborhood has the very same nickname. As I've said, it's a typical Filipino nickname. 
  • Panee - This is the nickname my two brothers use on me. It's just like the nickname "nene" but with a twist. It's kinda sweet, that they use a different nickname on me. 
  • Merrily - My grandma used to call me "Merrily" when I was still in grade school. Maybe because my real name is Maria Leah (yep, that's my real name). Merrily is such a cute nickname. 

Yes, I have four nicknames. But I still prefered to be called by my real name. LEAH... pronounced "leyah".. with an "h". ☺

  6. aww. how nice. :)

    my great grandmother used to call me "nene" because she always seemed to forget my name. haha. but that was alright. i always enjoyed having to explain who i was to her over and over again. she was always amazed each time i retold the story of me being her great niece. *sigh* i miss her even though it's been about 4-5 years since she passed away.

    anyway, to not leave this comment on a sad note, one of the nicknames that i've always found funny is intsikikay. my aunt calls me that. our family on my dad's side is filipino-chinese so i sort of look chinese a bit but i don't really think this nickname suits me since i am not at all "kikay". haha. xD
