Subjects are named after their birth, with one purpose: to be legally recognized in the social environment. However, through the legal perspective, the social practices present forms of naming that go beyond this scope, even being considered, in some cases, as habits of a particular region. An example of this is what happens in Jardim do Seridó-RN, whose subjects use the nickname as well as a possible form of naming. Based on this, this research aims to understand the importance of the nickname in the identity construction of subjects in Jardim do Seridó-RN. Therefore, it presents as a theoretical basis the dialogical conception of language, chronotopy, alterity, the ethical act and ideology, proposed by the Bakhtin Circle (2011; 2013; 2014; 2016; 2017; 2018; 2018), besides relying on cultural studies, focusing on the notion of cultural identity, developed by Hall (2003; 2011) and Bauman (2005). For this purpose, a qualitative-interpretative research - developed in the area of Applied Linguistics - whose data construction takes place through semi-structured interviews with nine jardinenses. From the preliminary analysis, it appears that the identity construction of jardinenses subject is influenced by nickname as distinguishes these subjects amid the social whole, reaffirming the notion of belonging to the region.
