Nickname
My Prose name comes from one of my favorite nicknames. I’m in a long distance relationship and my boyfriend. Well according to him I have a rather sweet and soft personality and so my first nickname ever from him was TeddyBear. It makes me feel special because my whole life I’ve been bullied and I grew up in a house where crying wasn’t very acceptable. So in a way, it was him allowing me to be “soft” with him. He and I hadn’t yet cuddled and yet to him, I’m his teddybear. It sounds unmasculine when he says things like “I need my teddy bear” but it also sounds ssssssssssooooooooooo sweet to me. When he calls me teddy bear it reminds me that I’m allowed to be soft and it also shows a bit of his “sensitivity” I use the nickname for almost everything. I love it and so I used it as my Prose name. It has no meaning to it as far as I know of, he’ll have to comment and tell us if it does.
The whole “origin” of my Prose name is just my boyfriend picked his first nickname for me, it’s special to me, and so I use it for Prose and a few other sites.
