Hm hm alrighty but here's something weird about me. I don't like using a general nickname everyone uses, I always take an extra step when coming up the name that makes sense on a deeper level. (Ex: Everyone called this kid, "Rena" while I call him, "Lotus" because it means pure and joy, which matches who the kid is.)
People would usually call me Mali or Mals and I am fine with both.
