Nicknames???

PROMPT May 23rd

Write about nicknames. What nicknames do you have for people in your life? What nicknames do others use to refer to you? Do any of these names have an interesting story for how they came to be?

I don't give many nicknames personally, but people have them for me. Marvie is the very first nickname I was ever called by anyone outside of my family. My parents would sometimes call me Thing whenever I was acting goofy. My best friend has called me Marty for years. I also really answer to Marvelous.

Marvelous is the real meaning of my first name in Spanish. My first name, Marvilla, is a variation of the Spanish word maravilla, meaning marvelous. My middle name is where I get friend. My middle name is Ruth. Ruth’s biblical meaning is friend or friendship. Therefore, my name on here is the definition of my real name. Marvilla Ruth = Marvelous Friend.

I love my name. It is a fun name, and great for conversations. My first name came from my great-grandma on my mom's side. My middle name was my dad’s mother's name.
