What's YOUR nickname and WHY?

[Darth_Kitten]

Mine's Cha Cha. :)

My hungarian grandfather gave it to me when I was about 3. Seems I thought I was pretty fancy and liked to dance when I was a toddler, and he said one day "My she sure looks like a little Zsa Zsa(Gabor)" and with his accent it sounded like "cha cha" ;)

Anybody else with a nickname given to you that stuck? ;)

[Cocoa]

1. Coco

given to me when I was 1 because my pseudo-uncle thought my head looked like a coconut. :-)

[Born_a_Democrat]

2. Rubio

cause I was real blond when I was little (not any more though)


More Recently: Among my gaming friends I came to be called "The Emperor" :D

Simply because several years ago when Quake 2 first hit the streets I was the best at it among all my friends so I would always gather up all the armor and health and go around killing people...One day I was surprised by someone who shot me twice with a rocket at point blank before I could even turn around. He stopped and when I turned around, seemingly unscathed he just stood there and I typed as a message "Young fool...now you realize the power of the Dark Side"

Then I blew him away...hehe



I know that was long but I just rememebered it so I put it up...hehe

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. Shnooger

It's a cross between Shnookums and Sugar...lol. I love it. :hug: Something my boyfriend just randomly started calling me about three years ago.
Duckie

[HawkerHurricane]

4. Currently?

Nuking Fool, because on EverQuest I play a wizard, and have a bad habit of casting powerful attack spells at hypnotized monsters...

[leftist_rebel1569]

5. I have two....Little Bit and Hesh

If you've ever been to the DU grotto, you know where Little Bit came from...

I was also called Hesh for a while, named after the shrill Sealab 2021 character...don't know where that came from, but I guess I liked it. but, i'm not called that anymore...

[JohnKleeb]

11. no Derek you are "skinny"

The thing is hes my height but weighs like 50 pounds less than I do, so I call him skinny and he in turn calls me chunky

Ive been called JK here a few times I guess that qualifies

I dont reallly have one

[ikojo]

6. Thumper

My now deceased stepfather gave it to me because one of my legs is always moving. He was the first person in my life to give me a nickname!

He was an artist and drew me a pencil drawing of a cabin in the woods. Looking upon the cabin is a rabbit with an enlarged foot.....his way of saying Thumper!!


:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[BlueJazz]

7. Bud

I gave it to myself when I was a young boy...I got it from "Father Knows Best"

[Stumbles]

8. my nickname is, well, Stumbles

real name is Tim. I got it because i have been one clumsy bastard since birth, and about 6 years ago my ex stuck me with it and it's still there.

[HEyHEY]

9. Nutter

It was given to me buy a guy who was a president of an NHL team. I was friends with his Son, he used to call me Nutter because it goes with my last name, and the way I acted. One day he said, "IS THAT NUTTER?! I LIKE TEA AND I LIKE BUTTER, BUT YOU CAN TAKE EM BOTH CAUSE I'LL TAKE NUTTER!"
And..to this day

[VOX]

10. Mo.

Said "I'm gonna mosey along" one time too many to my wife. Now I'm Mo -- on birthday cards, holiday cards, the works.

[Mari333]

12. Nan

My name is Marianne, and somebody started calling me Nan for some damned reason as a kid..
No one but my mother calls me that now.

[Kamika]

13. suzi

My mid name is Su And i guess its "easier" for americans to say suzi then Emi which is my "real" name

[trof]

14. Butch

I know, I know.
It didn't have the same connotations back in 1941.
"Butch" was a common (temporary) nickname for boy babies then.
When the delivery nurse brought me into my mother a few minutes after I was born she said "Here's your little Butch" and god help me, it stuck. All my friends and family call me Butch, but I don't use it in more formal situations.

The bright side: I can spot a telemarketer instantly.
"Hello, Massey?" (and it's mass-ee, they usually pronounce it "macey" like the store)
Me: click
;-)

[trof]

15. Worst I've heard.

I have a distant counsin nicknamed "Booger".
I'm not making this up.
When he was an infant an aunt said "What a cute little booger" and 40 something years later....
:eyes:

[Catshrink]

16. Test Nazi

That's what my students call me. Although behind my back, I'm sure it's "that bitch."

[WillParkinson]

17. Mine is "Big Dick"...

Because every time I start walking down the hall at work someone says, "Here comes that Big Dick". I always blush because it's nice to know that I'm appreciated.

[playahata1]

18. Buffy.

After the little girl from "Family Affair." My grandmother gave me that nickname, and while I have never liked it, I continue to answer to it out of respect for her.

[Raenelle]

19. I never had one.

There have been attempts--Rae, Raeny, but they all fizzled. I guess it's because Raenelle is easy and distinctive, so there's no need.

[cmd]

20. No nickname, but a Hungarian grandmother

She once asked my brother what grade he was in. Third was the reply. "Oh, turd grade, that's very nice." grandma responded.

[youngred]

21. Fuego

because of my red hair and a pair of soccer cleats I used to have by an italian company. (fuego is spanish for fire)

Zacky-Stlyes (courtesy of my roomate)

Ed, Eddie on my last name

Merriweather - I was in 1776 and our school did a pre-show improv sowing circle in which I played the child of one of the sewers, and named merriweather.

[THUNDER HANDS]

22. Killer

For two reasons.

The way I played football in high school. And it's also my last name (with a few letters mixed around).

[thom1102]

23. Axeman...

Old Navy (not the store) nickname... townie guy I fooled around with ended up murdered, and the police questioned me. I told the cops the truth, but had to lie to my shipmates (told them he was an old college friend who moved out to San Diego and we ran into each other out in town, exchanged numbers and promised to hang out, but never did, and when they found him, he had my name and number in his wallet... this was mostly true, except he wasn't an old college chum). My imaginative shipmates created this elaborate story of how he was a stalker who was obsessed with me, followed me out here, and the only way that I could get away from him was to kill him. They found out about me because he had my name tatooed on his ass "Property of." So I became known as the axemurderer, or Axeman for short. (Also related to my job. As reactor operator, I was in charge of performing a reactor "SCRAM" which stands for Super Critical Reactor Axeman).

[Hubert Flottz]

24. STANLEY!

POWER TOOL!

[thom1102]

25. OH MY!

[RandomKoolzip]

26. Stinzy.

My first name is Austin, which my high school buddies decided was too sophisticated-sounding, so they gave me a nickname that sounds like the name of your uncle who lives in Pittsburgh. "Stinzy." My friends still call me that.

[JohnKleeb]

28. Ive been wanting to be called rarebird for a while lol

Kinda describes me a bit in a way.

[VermontDem2004]

Poppy

[kmla]

31. My fraternity bros. called me "Indi"

short for "The Individual". I was sort of a non-conformist when I was in my college days...

[Interrobang]

32. I only really have one...

A friend of mine likes to call me "Spazz" because whenever she'd come into work, she'd knock on my office door and I'd jump. (I startle easily.) One day I got her back, though. I said, "I really *am* a spazz," and I brought up a bunch of information on Google about spastic quadriplegia and Cerebral Palsy (which I have). Was her face red!! Then I told her I didn't mind being called Spazz. :)

Spazz beats what another girl at work calls me -- "Stewtart," after the way some stupid person mis-spelled my name on an incoming fax to me...

[noonwitch]

33. Red-I have red hair, so my dad calls me that.

Everyone else calls me my name.
