Onkohan LadySlo vielä täällä hengailemassa? Olisin kysynyt Krisin lempinimestä, kun aika yleisesti fanit käyttävät Krisko-nimitystä mutta perhe taitaa kutsua nimellä Krisek. Onko se jokin harvinaisempi lempinimi, ihan outo vai vaihtoehto tuolle Krisko-nimelle?
Saa toki muutkin vastata, jos jollakulla on tästä tietoa/aavistusta.
Hey, I'm late to respond and I see some people already responded but here are my thoughts.
-ek, -ček (for anything in male form) would be added when you are referring to anything small or little. So it's not just used for male names (Martin - Martinček) but also for things, for example chair - small chair - stol - stolček, cloud - oblak - oblaček for a small cloud.
The -či is not used for things, it's for names only, and it sounds more endearing. Bojči, Janči, Jurči.. it doesn't work with Martin, for example, though Tinči might work for those who are called Tine as well.
Nace is a bit of an exception, it could be Nacek or Nacko, like someone suggested.
Kris is very much not typical for Slovenia, as a matter of fact, I have only ever heard of one Kris. Kristjan is common, even Kristian, but I've only ever heard of one Kris.
There is also Krištof, but this is very rare nowadays (used to be more common in the past) Krisek sounds right for "little Kris". Do JO call him Krisko or Kriško? If it's Kriško - and I'm just guessing here - they might be joking and basically calling him "little Krištof", similarly to as B once joked by calling Nace Ignacij which I serrrrriously doubt that it's his full name because it sounds so old fashioned. "Naci" is actually a female shortened name, short for Ignacija, I've known several women by that name but they are all older generations (mostly no longer alive).
"Boki" is an interesting nickname. I know several Bokis! Funny thing is it's a nickname that is given not only to Bojans but also men named Boštjan and Borut. But most Bojans I know are called Bojč or Bojči.
I hope I covered everything
I'm happy to answer to more questions if you have any.
