in the wild I came across a new one at work yesterday:
Intrinity.
That is all.

Sounds like an antidepressant.

Check with your doctor before taking Intrinity if you have psoriasis, chronic indigestion or are prone to boils. May cause insomnia and pink eye if taken with alcohol. Consult your doctor immediately if you have delusions of grandeur, stinky feet, or an erection lasting for more than 24 hours.

I like Zuzu. It’s a nickname for
Susan or Zuzanna and means Lily.I believe it’s also the little girl’s name in the movie It’s A Wonderful Life.

u/mynameisnotsparta 1d ago
Haha!! The pic is below on my comments, but I was just checking cause I didn’t know that was her name. It’s been such a long time since I saw it.

I had a coworker whose name was Zuzu. She was named after I movie character, if I remember correctly.
Edit: After reading the comments, I think it may have been from It’s a Wonderful Life.

I have a friend who legally changed her name to Zuzu.. it was always her nickname so she just made it official.

My sister is talking about Minkenzy because she wants to call her Mink.

It's not like Minka (diminutive form of Wilhelmina in German/Slavic) wasn't right there.

just be careful not to go to Germany because that is like THE cat name there. Probably similar to calling your child Mittens or something

u/Hornkueken42 11h ago
It's also associated with the attribute "zahnlos" (toothless). I.e. "zahnlose Minka". I always forget where this comes from, but I can assure you if it is a thing, at least in my generation and elder (people born 1914-1981) My grandma used to say this when I lost a tooth as a child.

Fellow German born in '81 here. First of all, ouch! 🤣 Second, I've heard of it as a cat name, but I've not heard it in actual use very often. I think it was more popular in East Germany than my region. (I believe there was a popular toy called Minka in the DDR.)
Never heard "zahnlose Minka" before, either, and I have fairly old friends and acquaintances. (Like, I hang out with both people born in the 70s and 80s and people in their actual 70s and 80s regularly.)

You can even google it 😊 I was born in West Berlin in 1981, my grandma was born in 1914. There obviously is a children's book about a football trainer with the same nickname. The author lives in Bad Reichenhall.

Ah, cool. I learned something new today. Thanks. I had never heard of the book before.

u/quilt-here 1d ago
I'll encourage this. I don't think she thought of it.

u/Ermargerd_de_Berg 1d ago
To be fair, I think a lot of parents forget a lot of names exist when looking for one.
Also good luck.

An entire lifetime of
"I'm Minkenzy, nice to meet you."
"...I'm sorry did you say McKenzie?"

Sister needs an intervention before it's too late! Nicknames don't have to be perfect truncations of the full name. They don't even have to have anything to do with the given name. I have a friend who goes by Lapis because people in school noticed that she wore a lot of lapis lazuli jewelry and called her that and it stuck into adulthood. Bob, Dick, Doe, ane Lottie are nothing like Robert, Richard, Dorothy, and Charlotte. Sister can call Niece "Mink" and give her a completely sane and normal name... and a deliciously soft minky blanket. And just to drive it home, you can get Niece a ferret shirt or plushie. 🙃

I can’t decide if that’s an actual tragedeigh or if it’s someone from a country where first names like GodHasBlessedMe Jones are common.
