Abstract
Names are generally used for identification in all human society. It has been observed by scholars working in this field that names perform more functions than ordinary means of identification. Following Austin (1967) speech act theory, it is observed that names perform some illocutionary acts which can help us maintain a peaceful cohabitation in our society. This work examined the use of nicknames by Yoruba brides for their in-laws. We analyzed those nicknames using pragmatic theories. The data was gathered within Ibadan and Akure metropolis and their remote settlements. Oral interview was used to compliment the intuitive knowledge of the researchers. Twenty-one (21) nicknames were selected for this study. Our findings revealed that, these nicknames are used for eulogizing, respecting and insulting/chastising. We therefore concluded that these nicknames be encouraged especially in the face of modernization that is eroding our culture and tradition of respect and appreciation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
