350+ Nicknames for Your Friends

Nicknames for your friends are basically a love language — and honestly, if your friend group doesn’t have chaotic little names for each other, are you even really friends?

I still remember giving my best friend the nickname “Potato” in 7th grade, and somehow it stuck.
