What do Mom & Dad want you to call her?

I don't know about you, His, but in PR, nicknames come organically, and are not as common as they are in the US. Unsure if it's the same in Mexico.

In PR, a Christina (Cristina) would go by Christina

Never mind that later she'll evolve into something diametrically different like Papu or Tane or Chachi, but Christina or Abigail would be usually what they're referred to always.  And of course, the nick name that my grandmother had for me is very different than the one my mom has for me, and different than the one that my aunts/uncles call me.  Seriously.  VERY different, and somewhat nonsensical in combination.

It's a lovely name, all the same!

My SIL is Christine/Chrissie but goes by Aunt Kiki with my son.

My old boss was Kiki. It was short for Karen.

I think Kiki is cute.

[miniroller]

Kiki was my college bar name when we wanted to remain anonymous among other ppl/ dudes. My GF & I had pseudonym mainstays for such occasions; mine was Kiki. HTH..?

[lessel]

Kiki is a nickname for a Cristina in my family. Younger kids couldn't call her by her name so Kiki stuck.

[otowngirl]

I know a Kiran who goes by Kiki.

[elleblue]

I knew two people growing up who went by Kiki as a nickname. One was a Kimberly and the other was Enrique.

The only Kiki I know is a former coworker and she had an unusual Greek first name that I honestly can't remember.  Guess that doesn't help! LOL

She was not an anomaly to that though I hope that in the years since elementary school she has mellowed.
