What are some of your nicknames ?

[pussnboots]

Since Subby made a blog entry about her new nickname (Polly Pocket), I thought I'd start a thread where you can tell us some of your nicknames that people use for you.
I guess I'll start. One of the nicknames I used to have is Horny Horton. I bet inquiring minds want to know how I got this name huh ? Well, get your minds out of the gutter. :lol: I have on my keychain an elephant's head and one day a friend of mine just started calling me that. It's rather cute I must say, the elephant's head I mean.
So what are some of your nicknames ?

[Niamh]

As in the doctor Suess?

[Scheherazade]

Scheherazade - from university days.

[Niamh]

Nymph because a friends mother couldnt spell niamh and accidentally wrote nymph on a goodluck card instead. :p
Shorty...because i'm 5"2' in height.
Nims by nightie and a few others because its just easier than Niamh

[Weisinheimer]

Hmm, I've had quite a few nicknames, but none of them have interesting stories. They're all more or less random. Sears, Home Depot, Sugar, Little Foot, Sahara, Scare Bear, Wei, Kim (cuz apparently I look like I should've been named Kim).

[Dori]

Squeegee, Jesus, P-Swayze, among others.

All very interesting stories.

[Niamh]

Squeegee...interesting...wanna elaborate on that one?

[Dori]

Squeegee...interesting...wanna elaborate on that one?

Sure. :) Some guy in 6th or 7th grade decided to call me that one day. He managed to convince everyone else to do so as well. It stuck well into 10th grade, I think. It was just random, and a failed attempt to ridicule me.


As for the others, in case you're wondering:

Jesus - I was called this when I had shoulder-length, curly hair by my hockey teammates.
P-Swayze - My real name is Patrick, and this nickname I got from my soccer teammates. I guess someone thought I looked like him? I'm not sure.

I suppose I was occasionally called Tarzan during track season when I had long hair.

I've also been called Pete and/or Repeat and other similar titles given to twins.

[Niamh]

ah yes the old twin ones! My sister was twinie and i was twinie eile. Cant forget the twits, one and two.. :rolleyes:
I kind guessed the P-swayze one.

[kandaurov]

Great idea for a thread!

(Haha, must be really funny to be called "Jesus"!)

Mine are usually terms of endearment (Pedrinho, Pedrocas), short forms (Peds, Pedders) or else simply international variants of my name (Pedrini, Petersen).

In chronological order:
Rouge: French for 'red'. A guy started calling me that because my face went bright red when I was embarrassed (which happened often, I was a shy feller). Used bullyingly.
Licano: family nickname (my sister and I use it). Became my IRC nickname.
Kandaurov: average Ukranian soccer player who was in Benfica for a spell. Chose it myself, used it as my alias back in the days when I played online games.
Guaxinim: Portuguese for 'raccoon'. Basically a bunch of girl friends were drunk and walking in the middle of the road and I warned: 'careful or you'll wind up like the raccoons in Australian roads'. Not very funny, but alcohol made it hilarious. They still call me that.
Pedrophile: just a pun involving my name and that dreadful word. Boys will be boys, I guess. Very akward when they use it in public places.
Pauleta: Portuguese striker: I too have short hair, am Portuguese and play as a striker.

EDIT: Sorry for the list's ridiculous lenght, seems that I got carried away. Memories!

:D It's a bit annoying, though, to be mistakenly called by your twins name. Or being referred to as "the other one" or "twin 1" (or 2). And, of course, let's not forget the mega-preppy blondes that have gone to the same school with you for 5 years and still have to ask you what your name is.

"Haha, which one are you? I can never tell which one is which."
*faintly smiles* "I'm Patrick."
"What's the other one's name?"

:crash:

Okay, perhaps I'm being a bit harsh. :D But, unless you're a twin, you have no idea how annoying it can be!


(Haha, must be really funny to be called "Jesus"!)

They don't call me that anymore (one claimed that they can't because I cut my hair). It was weird, though, when they did call me that. I never really spoke much to my hockey team, and I don't usually nowadays. I just smile and perhaps laugh.

[Virgil]

My nick names would get blanked out of here. Something like this: @#&%*(&**** :p

[librarius_qui]

... I won't tell you all my nicknames, I'm not ready for people to know my real name.

Only ONE person in this forum knows my name (I told the person) ...


My aunt used to call me "ratífero", which is derived from "mouse", in Portuguese ... I think it was because I was very small.

My dad sometimes called me by an odd (unexistent) variation of my name + Epaminondas, like ay ... "'Timothillino' Epaminondas". It's one of my favourite ekes, because it's big, and his intention was actually this and to speak something funny ...

A friend of my dad, uses the first syllable of my name, like ... "Tatetitotutotim", in "a-e-i-o-u" ... (I adapted it to "a-e-i-o-u-o-i", because Tim is with an "i".)

There was an eke I didn't like, at 5th grade, which was "tartaruga", and means turtle. They called me like this (with a bit of intention to offend me ...) because I've always been very thin, and they thought I looked like a turtle, with my bag at the back ... The only reason I didn't like it was that it was a bit pejorative.

There's one friend of mine who calls me like "Timothibus", because I studied Latin at college, and he knows nothing of Latin kK ...

Other ekes are common short forms of my name, like a simple "Tim" or "Timmy" ... (My mother uses a form that sounds more like "Timmy", to me ... I wouldn't like to be called Timmy by noone, except my mother. It's a bit girlish.)

Here, some people call me Lib, some Libri, some Tim. I like Libri, which Virgil first called me. I adopted it! All of them are welcome! :)

[All right, the beard phasis ... Since I adopted the beard, I've had many ekes, at the streets ... Unknown people (usually tramps) call me by "Raul Seixas" (which I don't like), a Brasilian musician, "Jesus-christ" (which I don't like ... he wasn't caucasian), "Bin Laden" (which I don't like ... he isn't caucasian). Maybe others ...

There's one that I like particularly, which is "Don Quixote", a friend of church calls me so. It's a compliment, to me, although I don't think the guy ever read the book ... And now I remember that one woman at another church, before getting to know me, used to call me "prophet" (because of the beard as well ...). I didn't mind about that, however I'm not one. Now, she calls me "grilo" (which means grasshopper) and "grilinho" (and the diminutive form of grilo), because of an e-mail that I have, which is composed by a Portuguese word for "locust".]

(kidding)

[Tournesol]

Well, I've had a plethora of nicknames...some of which I've actually forgotten, so I'll just stick to the main ones:

Kim [my uncle calls me this]
Kimberly [ditto]
Kuki [lil sis' name for me]
Kreamz [current friends call me this]
Karie [high school friends gifted me this one]
Keemie [my nephew AB gave me this one...Awwww]
Pinks [apparantly I turn pink - not red - when I'm embarassed]
Pinky
Anne [lil sis' name for me]
Tournesol/sunflower [old beau's name for me]

My name is Kareemah, by the way. It's found in the Quran, and it means 'generous', or 'honourable woman'

[Wilde woman]

Spam - not that I'm particularly proud of that.

It has nothing to do with my online tendencies (I swear!). See, my name is Pam and in college, my room mate was Sam(antha). Our mutual friends ended up calling us Spam when they wanted both of us. :D

[1n50mn14]

^__^ :Lol: Spam, that is great! I see you're new to the forums. Unfortunately, my first impression of you is going to stick!

[sprinks]

:lol: there are some interesting nicknames! :p

Primary school: Some cereal, my friend Coby was Coco Pops, but I forget what I was.
Samtaro, after the cartoon hamster, Hamtaro. Apparetly I also used to look like Hamtaro :confused:.

High school: sprinks, after the character Sammy Sprinkler in The Benchwarmers. It was Sammy Sprinkla, then Sprinkla, then sprinks.
Sam-ham, after one of my friends spelt my name as Sam Ham.

[BlueSkyGB]

The Jack of Hearts..long story..:angel:
from the Dylan song....stuck with me through college and even now at my age, still have a couple of close friends that every now and then bring it up..
oh and of course a few years ago had a tattoo done of it with a purple rosebud laying across it..:)

[Pensive]

Glady
Guriya (Doll)
Lucknowi Baaji
Touch-me-not (:p)

[Janine]

Jan - which I hate! Let me repeat it - hate it! I was called that when I was kid and so anyone who knows me from then calls me Jan and it really irrates me; thing is I feel like I am 5 yrs old again. Ok, then in high school this silly friend of mine started to nickname me 'baby jan hilltop' - don't ask. I think at the time a film was out - was "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" Hill was my maiden name. Really mean kids in grade school called me 'four eyes' since I had to wear glasses. I will come back if I recall any other names.

[Virgil]

Shall I dare? OK. My wife calls me Booby. :blush: :blush:

[GX4146]

some call me head becasue i have a big head
some call me pick up sticks because i was thin
now that i've gained weight they call me fat

[Chava]

Haha, I dont have nicknames really, just abbreviations of my own name, but my last name however, was always the point of ridicule in my younger years. Sandbut, and Sandbucket, where the most common. (Sandbukt means sandbay in Norwegian, most beaches are stone in Norway, so i guess my family took pride in the oddity.)

My mom calls me Sun.

Yeha that annoyed the hell out of me! Gurr! I still get called claire from time to time even though she is on a different side of the planet!


of course :)

See how i knew that! :p


My name is Kareemah, by the way. It's found in the Quran, and it means 'generous', or 'honourable woman'

Oh Pretty!!! I really like your name!

Gurr!!!! I HATED being called Specky four eyes!

I forgot a few versions of my name!
Other than Nims, I get called Niamhie (which has creeped into here lately) Niamhie Doll (but thats by my dad), and a friend in NZ calls me Nan... Niamhbee by my twin and i call her clairebear. I hate being called Niamho.
Back to Nymph... a girl in work calls me nymphus. (this has to do with faeries and misspelling NOTHING else and definitely doesnt end in maniac!)
Also Munchkin...(another one of those short ones but was called this be ex so never again.)
Also called shrew (by ex again. said i was like a cute little shrew as in the mouse but i would kindly point out that shrew ment something else and i didnt want to be called that.)
Noddy. Hated this one. Because i nodded my head alot.

[sprinks]

Noddy. Hated this one. Because i nodded my head alot.

my brother gets called that, but that's because it's a kind of shortened version of his name

[Niamh]

[kilted exile]

Pip (by the father, anytime I saw him his first sentence to me would be "WHat larks, pip")

Drew (being that my name is andrew - I hate andy)

MacFarlane (obvious one)

Droo-P/Droo-P-Drawers (another of the fathers,because my mother used to buy clothes too big for me & I always needed a belt to hld them up)

Caveman (from my rugby playing days, based on my style of play)

Cartman (a nickname given to me by my gf when I was 15-17)

and then kilted of course

[1n50mn14]

Oh Kilted, nicknames from girlfriends are always the worst! I know, I've saddled my boy with both Kitty and Mittens.

[Niamh]

my ex was just called sweetie...odd seeing as he turned out to be sour. :p

[LadyW]

Lola, Lay, laa lee la la. and my personal fasvourite
oh it is our library lady! :D

[kilted exile]

Oh Kilted, nicknames from girlfriends are always the worst!

I didnt mind getting called Cartman, far better than some sappy babytalk name

[*Classic*Charm*]

Nicknames eh?

For the most part, I go by a short form of my first name, which a couple of you know, so most of my nicknames came from family...

Pie...my dad calls me that (short for sweetie pie from when I was young)
Number 4...my dad's way of distinguishing me from my siblings
Doll...my mum has always called me that :blush:
Granny...from school a long time ago...there's a story behind that
Snarfy...my brother calls me that, it developed from another name he used to call me
Landy-sa or Lorndy Dorndy...also from my strange, strange brother
Missy...by one of my good friends. I don't think he's ever used my real name :rolleyes:
Girl or The Girl...a few people call me this...there are a lot of guys in my family

I'm sure there's more...

[sprinks]

Oh my dad also called me 'salty' for a while, after that time a few years ago when I accidently drank soy sauce :lol:.
Apart from that I'm just Sam or Samantha to family, but I have some friends that call me Sammy.

[LadyWentworth]

my ex was just called sweetie...odd seeing as he turned out to be sour. :p
Good one! :D


I never really had any nicknames (nor anyone else in my family when I think of it). But I have sometimes been called by other names.

**There is the shortened version of what my real name is. For those of you who know my name, you will know what the shortened version is, and PLEASE don't call me that because I HATE it!!!! Generally the only ones that do that, though, are people that I have worked with. :confused: I just don't understand that.

**My entire life (well, up until I was about 12 - 13, I suppose) I was called "Baby" which I suppose was because I was the baby in the family. But my one brother and my mother still say it from time to time.

**My dad used to occasionally call me "Kitty Cat". I couldn't tell you when that stopped, though.

**My mother still occasionally calls me "Baby Girl" or "Baby Doll" (the latter one the most).

Other than that, I have basically just been addressed by real name. :)

[subterranean]

Polly Pocket ;)

[LostPrincess13]

LOl!:D I've got lots of nicknames!:lol:

Kiddo - my mentor always calls me this... *blushes*
Lil Miss Sunshine or just Sunshine- this annoys me a bit really
Miss Know-it-All, Miss Webster, Walking Dictionary, Thesaurus, Reincarnation of Shakespeare, Miss Encyclopedia, Debate Girl, Fairy Princess, Princess...
You can guess where I got them...;) Some of them really bugs me though...

[optimisticnad]

Pingu - short for penguin - I think I run like them, so I'm told. Friends, so flattering aren't they? ;-)

Pinky and the Brain - Pink glasses, was...clever, now I find I'm mediocre.

Class clown.

Lost you made me remember two i had in secondary school. Dictionary (although they really meant encyclodedia :rolleyes: and Professer.

Why does this one not surprise me...

I'm intrigued....


Shall I dare? OK. My wife calls me Booby. :blush: :blush:

:lol: Did you miss out a 'b'. I'm sure I read 'Booby' and not 'Bobby'.:D


Lost you made me remember two i had in secondary school. Dictionary (although they really meant encyclodedia :rolleyes: and Professer.

:D

would that be the oxford dictionary by any chance? I mean we can't let our standards slip....:D

[BlueSkyGB]

I'm intrigued....

Let's just say some of Dylan's lyrics in the song, matched some situations in my life at that time....:D

[librarius_qui]

my ex was just called sweetie...odd seeing as he turned out to be sour. :p

None of my ex'es ever called me "Tim" ... I'd have liked.
However, both lasted as much as a year and a half, no more than that, possibly less.

And it's been long, since last I had a friend :( :bawling:

I think I'm learning to live well on my own. I'm kind of married to the mandolin. This is my consolation. When I need company, even to go out, I take the mandolin! (Hard thing is that I can hardly play, but this will be solved, as soon as I begin to make enough profit so as to pay a teacher, and make it of making sound to come out better! :) )

I'm kind of straying here, though ...

[WhimsySA]

Wow, I can't even remember half the things people call me!
My boyfriend calls me 'bubble', simply because he once heard my mom calling me that :blush: he also calls me 'chappy cheeks' when I'm angry, because, well, I tend to look like a chipmunk! :D

A friend of mine calls me 'burger' because I come from a place called Ficksburg.

My best friend sometimes calls me 'Jade babe', I have no idea why...

I can't think of the rest right now... I should be one confused kid with all those names :eek:

[subterranean]

Shall I dare? OK. My wife calls me Booby. :blush: :blush:

Eh...I never heard her called you with that when I met with you guys...Does she only use it privately? :D

[grace86]

Most of them are short versions or types of my name lol.

Mom calls me Laulie, my sister would call me Lo lo when she was young and still does from time to time when occasion calls for it.

A pastor friend calls me La la, shortening my name or using it in reference to the fact that I sing..I'm not sure. :D

I used to be called Squirt and Squirtle by some people from my past, one of whom recently passed away.

One of the older gentlemen on the praise teams calls me Little Fish. We race to the water fountain after worship and he says, "hurry up Little Fish, us big fish need to have a drink too."

Those are all I can think of right now.

[Virgil]

Eh...I never heard her called you with that when I met with you guys...Does she only use it privately? :D

:lol: Yes it's private.

[librarius_qui]

:lol: Yes it's private.

Very, very, ve-e-e-ery private even, should I say! ...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Does your wife check out your internet chats? :D Blast! Haha!

[Virgil]

Very, very, ve-e-e-ery private even, should I say! ...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sometimes she does. Actually most of the time. ;)

[Idril]

I've had a few over the years, the main one being Roots because I fell into the roots of a tree and have a huge scar, in the form of a wierdly placed dimple in my cheek. :rolleyes: When I was little, our neighbor called me something I could never spell, apparently it was Swedish for "breastless pest" or something. :lol: I can say it, but I wouldn't even dare attempt to spell it. Another nickname was Cricket and I have no idea why, it was just something a friend came up with and the other staple was just Stenslie, which is my last name, Riesa even uses that once in a while. ;)

[librarius_qui]

Sometimes she does. Actually most of the time. ;)

(Hello, Mrs Virgil! :thumbs_up )

[Joreads]

Jo for obvious reasons.

My sister always calls me Chubb

Josie is another one as well as JoJo
