Nashville Nicknames is a platform created to connect people & redefine the power of nicknames through story telling. By sharing the story behind peoples nicknames, it creates a personal and relatable story for all those willing to listen and learn.
Nicknames have attachments to people in the best and worst of ways. We are on a mission to raise awareness about harmful effects of name calling, while also sharing the camaraderie and joy that nicknames can bring to peoples lives.
Nickname Stories was created by John Leaf in 2011. Since discovering his passion for story telling through nicknames, he’s become an expert on the history, meanings and impact of nicknames.
Every nickname tells a story.
“This website is dedicated to motivate and inspire all who browse it – to rethink the role that nicknames can play in our lives.”
— John Leaf, Founder
