Curlos offers a nickname.
On occasion, villagers may give the player a nickname. If the player agrees, they will continue to call them that, and even spread their new nickname around town. If the player disagrees, the suggester will either be sad or ask them what they want to be called. If the player has a bad friendship with the villager, they won't let the player disagree, thus getting them stuck with the nickname regardless. If the suggester of the nickname is a girl, they are usually terms of endearments or compliments, such as "cupcake" or "gorgeous." Some of the nicknames depend on the first letter of the player's name, like "(first letter of the player's name)-Love".
