What's in a Name, pt 2
🕑 Added 2025-03-07 15:11:14 +0000 UTCA couple of days ago, we asked you all a question -
do you prefer having your MC referred to as "MC" or do you like it when they have a universal nickname the author/community can use?
With an overwhelming majority, you responded that a universal nickname is better.
The problem: What to call them. Obviously we can't use a last name (such as Roe from Superstition) or a job title (like Mercenary from The Golden Rose), or a persona (such as Sidestep from Fallen Hero).
So here's where you all come in.
What's a common factor you all share? Kimberly. And since Kimberly was younger than you, she probably had some kind of nickname she used for you, especially when she was a toddler/youngster.
Because we can't use a name-based nickname, I figured you all could help me pick something cute and gender neutral (like Button from Mind Blind!).
So! Send in your suggestions. You can comment on this post, DM me, or send an anon on Tumblr. I'll compile them all, whittle them down to my top 5, and then you'll all vote!
NOTE, please suggest something that isn't already used as a common nickname among other IFs. I am still dying from mortification over the Crownie (🧿) / Crowny (MC of We Wretched Creatures) debacle.
Anyhoo! Get those suggestions to me by next Friday (the 14th)! The poll will go up on Monday the 17th :)
Much love!
Daisy
