In my experience, nicknames just happen. I don't think they should be created at the last minute (or by people from a chat board, for that matter). I'd hate to be stuck with something just because I HAD to have a nickname.

That's what got me.

@ the OP: I don't know if you'll get a great idea for a nickname at the last minute from a message board, but you're blowing this out of proportion and making this wayyy too difficult. It's not like memorizing the Bill of Rights in 24 hours. It's a one or two word nickname. You know some good details about her from your description. IMHO, if you pick something that she can recognize about herself, then she'll be happy.

I agree with NutBrnHair... please don't just give her a name to give her a name. I'd think it's better if you tell her you are still thinking of it and want to get to know her better before you give her one. Otherwise, she might end up not liking/being proud of her nick and that would stink.
