Friendly suffixes after a person's name


How many suffixes there are to refer to somebody in a friendly way?

I know ～ん／～っち／～べ, but I would like to know if there are more.

Is there any rule to use them? For example, are the following uses natural?

めぐみ (♀) → めぐみん／めぐみっち／めぐみべ

ゆきの (♀) → ゆきのん／ゆきのっち／ゆきのべ

あきら (♂) → あきらん／あきらっち／あきらべ




-べ ( _-be_ ) is very rare as a name suffix. Perhaps you mean **-(っ)ぺ** ( _-ppe_ ), such as in めぐっぺ, ゆきっぺ and すみぺ? Other popular ones include -たん, -すけ, -どん, -りん, -きち, -にゃん and so on.

Note that these are not standardized name suffixes but conventions to form
nicknames, so it's impossible to count them precisely. For example, if an
anime character becomes popular, similar nicknames become trendy, and may be
forgotten a few years later. In addition, if someone's nicknames has been
established, you generally cannot call them in other ways.
