No Story, No Nickname

What’s the story behind your nickname?

My name has three letters and two syllables. I don’t have a nickname. The closest I can get to a nickname is Ame. (Pronounced like same or name.) My mom used to call me this, and a handful of other people.

My mom named me Amy for simplicity reasons, at least that’s what she told me. It was a choice between Amy and Michelle, and Amy would be easier to learn how to spell.

Did I just write a poem?

  1. Maybe, a poem is in the intention of the intentioned, and well as the beholden of the beholder 🙂

    You’ll also note it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone!

    May the aim of Ame be to spread less pain than Amy does of her nicknamesake.

    Note silly billy to self.
