- W2334503192 abstract "O NOMASTIC INDIVIDUALISM has by no means been limited to the names of people.' Rich, ripe examples of it in place names have also characterized the American scene where the attempt to be different, stirring the creative urge, has produced unimaginable formations. Main Street and Springfield show the opposite tendency: to repeat everywhere some comfortably, triumphantly commonplace name. What gamut from plain to fanciful fills the space between? Students of place names have long enjoyed Picketwire, Smackover, Peculiar, Dime Box, Nacogdoches, and many more, grotesque in derivation or in end result. But these are real names that appear on maps or in legal documents. What about the hundreds of others which live unrecorded--the very local labels that people apply half humorously but which nevertheless function as names? To check on these, the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE) put into its Questionair the following: C34. [What] Nicknames [do you have around here] for nearby settlements, villages, or districts?2 From the 1002 communities studied in 50 states, we received more than 900 responses, an adequate basis for some generalizations, though not to be taken as conclusive. By nickname we meant to suggest a usually unofficial name, familiar to the people of the locality but not to outsiders. Since such names are intended to identify a feature, they are often simply descriptive. But description can convey opinion, too, and names can express the community's attitudes, neutral, idealizing, personalizing, jocular, derisive, ironic, sometimes condemnatory. The expression of such attitudes is often the distinctive quality of a nickname. There was no way, of course, to guarantee that informants understood nickname as we did; sometimes they obviously did not. The term," @default.
