Yes I think social media breaks the nickname chain! When you're interacting w so many people using your government name, nicknames just fall away. I do have a few friends who use nicknames, but they have to insist pretty heavily on them with every new person they meet. A person needs to perpetuate their own nickname. If they don't, the government name becomes a default.
