I think nicknames are best chosen by those around you, as they're a bit special, but choosing a new name for yourself could either simply be something you like the sound of, or something with a meaning you feel suits you. :)

It wasn't something I had picked, but I was part of an organization that assigned callsigns for sensitive communications.
Mine was "Mercy", likely because of my demeanor as a doctor. I'm still known by it, thanks to the media, but of course my name is Angela so it is nowhere close to being related.

People have called me things like Angie, Ange, Doc— then typical terms of endearment as general nicknames in other languages. They just sort of happen.

Are you looking to find something new to refer to yourself by?
If so, may I ask why?
