Nicknames in Japanese

Nicknames in Japanese are fascinating to me because they are so variable and fun to play with, much like Japanese itself.

あだ名　adana　nickname

ニックネーム　nikkuneemu　nickname

In terms of pet names there are not many general ones. Perhaps あなた (anata) - used by a wife to her husband - is the most well known pet name, but outside of that I haven't found many mentions of them. I have heard of the English-origin ダーリン (daarin = darling) and ハニー (hanii = honey), but I have never heard of anyone actually using these in real life.

Nicknames, however, are more common as a play on someone's name. They can be used to call a senior classmate without sounding too formal (and having to append さん [-san] to the end of a name) or to express affection towards friends or significant others. They are usually used for someone you are close with, so I would not recommend using them with someone you just met (unless they ask you to call them by a nickname), and especially not with older people or those of higher rank or in business situations.

Nicknames often come in the form of a name ending that is attached to all or part of a first or last name. I am not an expert by any means, and this is not comprehensive at all, but I wanted to compile a list of some common nicknames and give you a sense of how they would be used on a variety of names.

1. Cut the name in half and use くん (-kun) or ちゃん (-chan) at the end

This is very common, because many Japanese names have at least 3 or 4 syllables. It depends on the name whether the first 1 or 2 (or the last 1 or 2) syllables are used, and sometimes you need to throw in a small つ (tsu - which doubles up the consonants) to make it flow well. You can use it for a first name or a last name.

Example: けいた (Keita)　→　けいくん (Kei-kun) ♂ あつこ (Atsuko)　→　あっちゃん (Acchan) ♀ たなか (Tanaka)　→　たっくん (Takkun) ♂ (last name) しげかず (Shigekazu)　→　かずくん (Kazu-kun) ♂

2. Add っち (cchi) to the end of the name

This one is kind of cute sounding. You can append it to the end of the full name or to the end of the first couple syllables.

Example: まこと (Makoto)　→　まこっち (Makocchi) ♂ ゆみこ (Yumiko)　→　ゆっち (Yucchi) ♀ ゆい (Yui)　→　ゆいっち (Yuicchi) ♀

3. Adding an ん (n) to the end of the name

This works better with some endings than others. り (ri)・の (no)・る (ru) are examples of endings where ん is commonly appended. You can also add りん to the end of a name, although this works better with names that already end in り or another い/う-ending name.

Example: いおり (Iori)　→　いおりん (Iorin) ♂ ゆきの (Yukino)　→　ゆきのん (Yukinon) ♀ ゆり (Yuri)　→　ゆりりん (Yuririn) ♀

4. Adding たん to the end of the name

This is a baby-talk way of saying ちゃん. This was originally considered as an otaku nickname, as it appeared in net slang at the end of an otaku's favorite (usually female) character, but it is used a little more widely now, especially for younger children because it is cutesy. You can cut the name in half again and/or modify it, or add it to the end of a full first or last name.

Example: もも (Momo)　→　ももたん (Momotan) ♀ かなと (Kanato)　→　かなたん (Kanatan) ♂

5. Adding ちん to the end of the name

Another baby-talk way of saying ちゃん. I often see this used for dogs or babies, but it can be used affectionately for friends as well. I mostly see it as a female nickname when it's not for pets or babies. Again, you can cut the name in half or modify it, or put it at the end of a full first or last name.

Example: ゆな (Yuna)　→　ゆなちん (Yunachin) ゆか (Yuka)　→　ゆかちん (Yukachin) なや (Naya)　→　なーちん (Naachin) ♂ たけうち (Takeuchi)　→　たけちん (Takechin) ♀/♂ (last name)

6. Other endings for nicknames

Using the tricks I've described above, you can create other nicknames with these endings:

-きゅん　kyun

-ちゅん　chun

-にゃ　nya

-にゃん　nyan

-ぬ　nu

-はん　han

-ぴ　pi

-ぴょん　pyon

-ぺこ　peko

-ぽぽ　popo

-まる　maru

-みゅ　myu

-やん　yan

Even if your name is not of Japanese origin, you can use these rules to make yourself a Japanese-sounding nickname. You can use the first one or two syllables of your first or last name and add one of these endings to come up with a nickname. This is not only fun, it is also a great way to help Japanese people pronounce your foreign - and possibly difficult-to-pronounce - name.
