Since there are only five acceptable first names and seven suitable surnames, many Mennonites have resorted to distinguishing each other with nicknames. In order to determine your Mennonite nickname, all we need is your birthday. Select the month and day of your birthday to determine your permanent and unchangeable Mennonite nickname. For example, if your birthday was November 8, your Menno name would be Tjnibla Panna.
