It is true, innit?

TUPACified · Apr 19, 2015

I once heard that, your bond is tight with the people supposedly close to you, if you call/address each other by names/identities only you use in your circle, and not what everybody else call you. Thinking about it, it does make some sense.

We got names that we use in our family, even for our parents, that only we use them, not traditional names. And we got about a 1000 random ridiculous names that only me and my brothers use for each other.

Got names only used between me my favorite cousins, and few friends. I even had names for every chick i dated, not the usual regular ones.

But i got 2 friends i've known for a while now, and we call each other by names almost everybody else call us. And i kind of don't know what to make of this.

'kuwa na majina mbadala mnayotumia kati yako na watu wako wa karibu, kunathibitisha ukaribu wenu ama si lazima?'.

Kwa kiswahili haitoki navyotaka, ila ni hivyo

Just accept any name that people will call you, because if you refuse they will stand calling on forever. - i think .....! so

I never had such a problem, nobody has ever called me names i didn't approve.

What i'm asking is, is it a must to have names we only use in our circle/family to show how tight we are?

I have this thing, i don't know what it is. I can only address people by their real names if i know them personally, the only name that will stick to me is their birth name. I think the bond gets tighter when you know the real them. Nicknames tend to hide the true identity of people and you get only certain characteristics of a person.

I agree with that, the only nicknames i use for them ones close to me, are the ones i gave them myself, otherwise i'll stick with their real names.

I get you. I think that can definitely create a connection only the two of you understand but if the other person tries to use the name it doesn't get the same vibe and it becomes awkward. Me and my sisters use to call our Mom Bi Mkora and she knew why we did it and it helped our rather volatile relationship
