Do You Nickname People on Your Phone or Chat List?

[Terminus]

Not usually. On my phone everyone I know IRL, so I only have a nickname for my best friend, who no longer goes by the name I have for him. I just refuse to use his "proper" name.

On Skype, I generally don't nickname someone if I talk to em enough. The exception being Pancake who is still "Desert Rat" and spent a stint as "Killer Cereal"...

Sometimes. One is named 'Do Not Answer'.

Yes. When friends give me their numbers, I usually let them pick what their name is in my phone. There's a few interesting ones in there for sure!

I put the actual names of the people I know on the contact list.

I'm horrible at remembering names, so, I always make sure to put people's full names in my contacts, and usually set nicknames on Skype too, rather than having to trawl through backlogs to find a time me either saying their name or just identify who I'm talking to. I like to take a picture, of them not knowing its coming, to come up when they ring me on the phone. Makes me laugh everytime!

Not really. Only my cousins are nicknamed than my friends and family. I put his/her actual name since I don't have a nickname for them...
