[JazmenFlowers]

am I on a thread roll or what? :D

I'm curious...do you have a nickname or nicknames? what are they and what are their origins?

EDIT: Brandon is not allowed to respond to this thread. :laugh:

when i was really little, my grandfather called me spud.

when i was in elementary school, my 4-year-old autistic neighbor couldn't say my name, so he called me dewey. that stuck for ... a long time. i don't know how he got dewey out of carrie, but he was autistic, so i didn't ask. :laugh:

now i just answer to "hot shiz." :cool:

[Wild_Heart03]

now i just answer to "hot shiz." :cool:

:lol: now that is what I call a nickname. ;)

I've had a variety of nicknames in my life, with significance on a few of them. first was "Butch", which my dad has always called me since I was little. they had to stop for a short while when I was younger, as my brother was only 3 and couldn't pronounce butch so he would say "'mere bitch!" :lol: :lol:

in high school, I was branded with the nickname "That 80s Boy" by my drama teacher, for my unbridled obsession with anything 1980s. it became my gimmick in high school, so I was always good for busting out the 80s tunes when we did a play or whatnot. senior year we got a new drama teacher, who insisted she rechristen everyone with her own nicknames - I got "Georgie", as she said the 80s made her think of Boy George. go figure.

these days, it's been a bevy of ploys on my real name - Nicketh and Nickiepoo (lol don't ask) are the newest two.

Well, my real name is Catherine, but I go by Kate or Katie. My great grandmother spelled her name the same way, and her nicknames as well.

I have sooo many other nicknames, but Katums is probably the most popular. I can't remember who started calling me by that, but it stuck for years. It's such a cutesy name, too, which is definitely ironic.

Another one is "Fivehead." Long story short, I was in Drawing class, and we were doing face proportions. Well, my art teacher told us to measure the length of our noses, and see how big it was compared to the forehead. My forehead? Larger. So I was like, hey, my forehead is a bit bigger. My art teacher? "Oh, Kate does have a rather large forehead!" I covered my forehead with my bangs, just to piss her off, and a friend of mine was all "oh, shut up, fivehead," and that was that. To this day, a few of my friends refer to me as Fivehead.

Oh, and this is not really a nickname, but my boyfriend & some of my other guy friends call me Joan Jett. I guess it's because I have a Jett-like haircut. The MOAR you know, amirite?

[ryan8472]

Usually it's just Ry or "hottieeeeeee". :lol:

[DeadliestPoison]

I have sooo many other nicknames, but Katums is probably the most popular.
Kate also goes by 'k7.' Little-known ~*fact*~.

My mom called me 'Boo Boo' a hot minute ago. Like Yogi & Boo-Boo, I guess. Lame, I know.

Nowadays it's more or less Gregums, Greggie, Gweggah and other variations of it, or if you're Kate, Sugartits. I have a nice support system going.

[xdreamsunwindx]

totes rly. Also, I go by "K8." MOAR.

ilu sugartitz bb~

[CelticGypsy]

Hubby calls me "Dear" and I hate it. lol I wish he would call me "Sweetie" or something more younger sounding like Hot Sexy Mama:laugh:

Main nickname is Deb.

[amber]

My mom picked my name specifically b/c it doesn't have a nickname. However, my best friend calls me "ber", and my mom's nickname for me is "Mima", which is a hybrid of "Miha", a la my mexican babysitter when I was two.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

My real name is Phillipa and I was called Pipa as a child and then it became Pip as I got older. No-one ever calls me Phillipa now

[GODDESS6]

to my family i am GiGi, since my brothers couldn't say jill
the hubby calls me mama jama from pauls simon's "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard Lyrics"..."Mama pyjama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police station...":lol: :lol: :lol: ~

i call my son boo boo kitty~ he'd kill me if he saw i typed that:lol: :eek: :lol: ~

[JazmenFlowers]

I love reading this kind of stuff.

as for me:

Jizzy, Jazzy, Jaz(z) - all names that you guys call me, but lots of friends do too (well, not Jizzy).

J, Jase - the most popular nickname I have had since high school

Turkey - my dad's nickname for me since I was little

Frog Jr. - my great-uncle's nickname for me (he calls my dad Frog, don't know why)

J. Dub - my ghetto nickname

[ryan8472]

J. Dub - my ghetto nickname

I love those kinds of nicknames. :nod: :p It doesn't work too well for me though.

[JazmenFlowers]

I love those kinds of nicknames. :nod: :p It doesn't work too well for me though.
my ghetto friends also frequently call me Jaserious. maybe it has something to do with the fact that I can describe a Chinese waterfall in my sleep. :rolleyes:

google it.


:lol:

[BlackWidow]

Usually it's just Ry or "hottieeeeeee". :lol:

:nod: ...or Ry Ry..:p

[sara1998]

Well, before marriage, my initials were MAM, so I was called M&M's for a while by friends. My daddy used to call me pumpkin or monkey when I was little. Now it's mom or evil step mother... :laugh: Some of my friends call me hooch....

Shut your pie hole, black dildo....:laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

My parents called me "Kiki" when I was little. One of my cousins actually called me that first because he couldn't pronounce my name, so my parents adotped it. My dad had tons of nicknames for me as a kid.... Contessa, Peanut Head :rolleyes: , Pumpkin Shell, etc.

In high school, my friends called me Krista-Bear.

[BlackWidow]

Shut your pie hole, black dildo....:laugh:

Hoochie coo monkey beeyotch with a pumpkin head!!! :laugh:

[skcin]

Husband calls me hun (as in honey, not as in Attilla :rolleyes: )

Dad calls me Paulie, but with his heavy accent it sounds kind of like Pwooley. Mom calls me Paul.

A couple of people at work call me Paula Jean. I don't know why & neither do they. It just stuck. Some call me P.

I got "hey, Paula Abdul!" a lot in high school. You know, back when she had a music career & was coherent. :laugh:

Back in high school, I called a friend on the phone & her dad answered. I left a message for her to call me, but he misheard & thought I said Carla. Around the same time, my other friend decided that since I was part Polish (she is too) that I should have a -ski at the end of my name. So I became Carla Zlatski & to her, that's still my name.

k, I need to know - any "Hey, hey Paula"'s? :p

I think your official Polish/Italian name should be Carla Maria Victoria Angelina Teresa Appollonia Lozupone.

[mikeschmike]

J. Dub - my ghetto nickname

If I didn't already call someone by that, J-Dub would would be my name for you. But I'll have to settle on "Pam" instead.

Most of the time people at work call me by my last name. I've let them know on several occasions that I loathe and despise it, but they continue to do it. I mean it's an office, not a baseball team. :shrug:

Otherwise, the normal people call me Mike. Some call me Mikey, but as I was typing this out I realized that a lot of people just come up to me and say "Hey boy". Maybe I'm more ghetto then I thought?

ETA: Oh yeah, Carrie and Jaz get to call me Gina. Eat your hearts out!

[goldustsongbird]

Currently, people just say "Hey asshole". It works. :shrug:

Former nicknames include Lisa Pisa, Lili or Li, Lola, Cyndi, Mike (a friend of mine started this, and it's stuck since 7th grade), Gia (I don't know? Another weird friend thing. I think it was the name I used to give out on the internet when people asked me what my real name was. lulz.)

[skcin]

Yeah. Like 3 times a week. :rolleyes: And thanks for the Appollonia addition. :)

my best friend calls me "mitchell" and a couple of people at work call me "chelle" (or "shell" how ever you want to spell it )

I've never really had a nickname until about 2 years ago. there's not a lot you can do with "michelle" except add numbers to the back of it :laugh:

on here it's just "mole-butted, bop loving freak from kentucky"

(for carrie-just call me inspiration.....)

[The Tower]

I'm curious...do you have a nickname or nicknames? what are they and what are their origins?
Butt Pirate. It's self-evident...

[estranged4life]

Here's a few that my Mom nicknamed me:

"Whitey Ford" (After the NY Yankees great)
Punk
Fart-knocker
"Dinky Shaffer" (Named after a co-worker of my Dad, who was rather vertically challenged - Of course everyone thought I would NEVER be tall, That was until I hit my mid-20's, then I started to grow)

Just remembered a couple that still annoys me:
"Bri"
"Brian Dub" (For my popular initial "W.")
--or even worse--
"B.J." (Obvious sexual innuendo)

[foxyluva]

Alot of my friends call me Mike or Mikey - thats about as crazy as my nicknames get :laugh:

[Peestie]

All my friends call me Peestie, hence my screen name. I got this nickname 8 years ago. I went to a grammar school and we had a slightly eccentric Latin teacher who would nickname all his pupils (don't know why!) and I became Peestie because it's a combination of my real name, Peter Stitt. It just stuck from them on and everyone calls me it now, even my mum sometimes lol.

[mikeschmike]

that cell phone bit was one of the funniest things i've seen in a long time. kinda makes me want to record myself in 4-part harmony singing "angel" and save it as my ringtone. :lol:

[ELIUD]

Big Tuna is also the nickname of the former Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants coach Bill Parcells. I don't think he liked being called that either.

My nickname is Ludie but some people just say I'm lewd.

[rbs3676]

When I was in junior high, kids called me "Bones" because I was extremely thin.

My father calls me "Brucie Boy" when he's in a jovial mood and a couple of co-workers call me "Brucie".

My closest friends call me "Boo" or "Booder" and my best friend, Patrick, calls me "Bruster".

My boyfriend calls me "Stud". :shrug: :laugh:

[ragandbone]

well, I haven't had any crazy nicknames, but let's see,
my mother called me "cookie" and believe she got that name from a character in a tv show called "77 Sunset Strip".
In highschool my name was shortened to "LizBeth", and then I started going by Eliza, and now I am often called "Za"
Your thread reminded me of a boyfriend who used to call me "the Beeb" which was a variation on "babe". I rarely have tender thought of this guy, so it was nice to remember that.

[estranged4life]

Just remembered the obvious one my older brother calls me:

"T.A.C.I.T." (Wanna guess what it means? Anyone? Free Stevie, Fleetwood Mac or Lindsey bootleg DVD of your choice from my list to whoever can correctly figure that one out!)
