Are you ready for this?
Kirst.
Yep.That's pretty much it.
Why? Well, my name is Kirsty. So, one need only conveniently, and without much complication, omit the Y on the end, thus resultng in the aforementioned "Kirst". Two syllables becomes one. Faster to say, easier to spell. Smiles all round.
I quite like this simplified nickname of mine. Whilst it may sound as though I am under the constant cloud of a witch or sorcerer's spell (or "cursed" as it were), it's the nickname I've held since birth and my preferred term of address (I've always maintained that I only ever get called the full "Kirsty" by people who either a) don't know me or b) are angry with me...(the latter emphasise the Y - as in, "KirstY!"...) Also, I guess I should count myself lucky in that I didn't inherit my elder's nicknames pertaining to our surname (Dunn) - Dunny, Dunno, Dunnit. I'd take Kirst over those any day.
I've had a couple of other nick names from my ankle biting days (but they wont be reiterated here in order to preserve my street cred), and on school camp in fourth form a good friend of mine started calling me "Kid" and it kind of stuck. That one's just between us though.
Between me and my monster? It's pretty simple: just "love": what started out as a joke has now become our delegated daily term of endearment (albeit an old-school and slightly unoriginal one...)
That's it. That's all.
