Today, I've been calling my girlfriend by her nickname for so long, I had to reactivate my Facebook account to find her real name. FML

Take her to Starbucks. Or just listen when you're around other people who may call her by her actual name.

I once forgot my dog's real name because we always call her by a nickname. It may not be common, but it does happen.

We gave my dog a nickname and because of it we forgot how to spell her real name. (She had a uniquely spelled name)

That's why my girlfriends nickname has part of her name in it... Always gotta think ahead!

I sure hope your girl sees this so you can update your relationship status.

I don't understand....how do you forget our girlfriends name? I gave my boyfriend a nickname, gave it to him when we were kids, before we even started dating. But I never forgot his name....

You've known your boyfriend since you were kids? Well, that might be just a tad different, then. OP might have known this girl for, like, a month for all you know. And he probably didn't give her her nickname either..

Uhm I've never called my husband by his birth name and I still know what it is. It's not even his Facebook name.

Has nobody considered that a nickname might just be a short version of a name that is possibly hard to remember and spell? Maybe she specifically told him to just refer to her with the short name, not knowing that he would entirely forget her full name...
