So, Tilly is a weird name, eh? When I picture a Tilly I usually think of a small puffy dog or a 93 year old woman. Sometimes both at the same time.

It& #39;s not my real name, obvs. It& #39;s a nickname based on my real name which is long and French and stupid.

The story behind how I got to be called Tilly is kind of neat but I don& #39;t like to tell it & #39;cause I sound like I& #39;m bragging.

Thing is, I feel like I& #39;m growing out of it? I& #39;m kind of sick of it, truth be told. Tilly. It used to be cute but now it feels...childish? I dunno.

So, my real name is stupid and hard to pronounce, my nickname feels old and tired, my only option left is the name my family calls me from when I was a kid, which is Shawn. Which is, I guess ok? Kind of boyish but I was a tom boyish kid so c& #39;est la vie.

I like to spell it Chan so it& #39;s closer to my real name but then people pronounce it with a hard C and that& #39;s weird.

My rich friend used to call me Chenille, which isn& #39;t that far from my real name. It means caterpillar in French.

I don& #39;t know where I& #39;m going with any of this. I think I& #39;ve reached a new level of bored.

Where did your guys& #39; nicknames/usernames come from?
