family nicknames
Kin's affectionate labels
Family nicknames are informal names used within a household or extended family—pet names for children, playful labels between siblings, or personalized terms for relatives that outsiders wouldn't recognize.
Unlike formal given names, these arise organically from family culture: mispronunciations by toddlers that stick, inside jokes, or affectionate diminutives.
Only Grandma still calls him Boo-Boo.
