When considering a nickname for anyone, including stepfathers, you will want to make sure that first and foremost, the name is special and full of meaning. Make sure nicknames are personalized and precious to you and the person you are naming. Also, funny nicknames may not be so humorous to others as they are to you. If you land on a funny nickname, be sure to consider if it sounds offensive to other ears. Nicknames should never be meant to cause hurt or ill feelings.
