Childhood nicknames, often referred to as 'ghar ka naam' or 'daak naam,' play a significant role in shaping an individual's early sense of self and identity. These personal names, used within inner circles, contrast with official names for the outside world. Sociolinguistic research suggests nicknames are not merely labels but reflect how others perceive us and influence self-perception, aiding in identity framing and resilience, particularly under challenging circumstances.
