I’m not sure how the mechanic works but sometimes when I say no, they prompt me to choose my own nickname but sometimes they don’t o: if they’re trying to pick up a nickname that’s already circulating, I don’t think you get that option ever but if they think of a new one then you get the prompt sometimes? not sure thoI can't remember any of the names they suggested because as soon as I see them it's a resounding no. I kind of hate it in this game that shutting down their terrible nicknames doesn't prompt them to ask you what you want them to call you. I never cared for the ones in NL most of the time and they always than asked me to make one up for them.
I also hate the pings where someone says 'Hey I hear blank calling you 'terrible nickname, why oh why did I allow it?' can I also call you 'horrible nickname?' It's like all the time and when I say no they don't ask for me to make one up.
I haven't had any of them ask me to give them when they were the ones who suggested a bad nickname. So I just refuse them all now. Especially because they all start trying to call me whatever it is and I hate that lol.I’m not sure how the mechanic works but sometimes when I say no, they prompt me to choose my own nickname but sometimes they don’t o: if they’re trying to pick up a nickname that’s already circulating, I don’t think you get that option ever but if they think of a new one then you get the prompt sometimes? not sure tho![]()
Just to be clear- they absolutely can ask you what you want to be called, but they don't always ask for it. Maybe you need higher friendship? I'm not sure, but I've absolutely made up names for myself (I was kit-kat for quite awhile- I really appreciated when my villagers then asked to call me that so it spread further, lol). Currently, I'm lollipop. I also rarely let them pick my nicknames, but I just thought that one from Marina was precious, and when someone else asks if they can use it, I say sure. Just keep saying "no" if it's a nickname you hate, and eventually they'll give you a chance to pick your own. Unless they've changed that mechanic at some point, but I don't think they have.I can't remember any of the names they suggested because as soon as I see them it's a resounding no.
