Question
I read that a man is forbidden to call a woman by a "nickname." My question is, what is meant by a nickname? For example, is Chani considered a nickname? It's not Chanush, etc. Conceptually, it's like Chana (as if it's the full name...). I'll try to simplify the question: after all, it's allowed to call by the full name (there are those whose full name is their usable name). I would appreciate clarification. Thank you very much. May you be blessed!
Answer
Hello
If everyone calls her that, it is permitted.
And it is not considered a nickname.
