The article tries to analyse the second names which were derived from nicknames created by metaphor and metonymy. The overview of such names from the region of the Jeziorany Bailiwick shows that the second names in Polish usually have appellatives designing animals or plants for their stems. On the other hand, German anthroponyms from this area usually use appellatives designing objects. Many of them could serve as a basis for the creation of names that identified people performing a given craft. Creating such names could consist in identifying a person’s occupation with a characteristic tool or a product. Often names of tools or products were used without any derivational changes.
