If you were in the court of Elizabeth I, there was a very rare chance that she'll like you. But if she did, she would give a nickname that will suite you such as charm, personality and even looks. However some of the nicknames could be very nasty. For instance, she named Robert Cecil 'Pygmy' because of his short height, she also named Walter Raleigh 'Water Raleigh' because when he was talking, he couldn't pronounce his 'L's' properly and once, she named the Duke of Anjou 'Frog'. This was because Elizabeth told him that his skin was very warty and slimy like a frog, but only much worse. And that the Duke's nickname for French people is still used by the English to this very day.
