Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses current student nicknames, especially nicknames that arose from personal names (first names and surnames) of persons who are called by the nickname. The relatively rich linguistic material (825 nicknames) was obtained by investigations carried out in Prague secondary schools. We used the form of simple questionnaires and structured discussions. We have tried to show current linguistic tendencies and diversity of student nicknames. The work was supported by the grant SVV 2013–267402.
