Ann Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Tell us about some of the nicknames you have had over the years and how you think you got them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Two nicknames.................first is Kasey. I will spare you the LONG version. My initials are K.C. My uncle said (when I was about 2 weeks old) that I should be called K.C. Somehow it evolved to Kasey. The other was 'four eyes' bestowed upon me by the mean boys in elementary school. I wore glasses from the age of 1. Way back then in the 'Dark Ages' nobody wore glasses. I ws a FREAK! Aren't kids cruel? Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 My husband's nickname for me has always been "Patticake" or "PC" for short. Don't even know how that started and I know, its kind of corny!!! Hugs - Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Little bit--not too hard to figure where that came from since I never grew past 4 ft 8 inches. My favorite though was when I was nineteen and working as the secretary to the base finance officer and executive finance officer at Fort Dix. They called me sunshine and even made me a coffee mug with a big sun on it at the base ceramic shop. Wish I still had that mug (I think it got broken in one of our many moves), I'd pick it up and rub it every day to try to recapture that young woman's joy and optomism!

JB Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Let's see. I go by a couple. All my college buddies called me Shamokin, becasue that's the town I was originally from. That stuck pretty good, in fact, I'd bet half the people I went to college with don't even know my real name. Obiviously there's my initials, JB. A lot of people at work and previous jobs called me that. And then there's the family nickname, of just calling me Jr., becasue well, Im a junior. I've been called a lot of other not so nice things, but I don't think they were meant as nicknames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilyjohn Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Most people always called me Lillian, Sometimes one of my brothers would call me Lil. Johnny almost always called me Lily and now most of my friends call me Lily. When Johnny and I were together he had so many nicknames for me that he used a different one everyday. The one he used most was Mama then Honey Buns. He also called me Darlin and Sweet Jeans and some others that are a little too private to print here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Rocky as a kid because my dad had a bizarre sense of humor and when I went to camp he put the name Rocky on all my stuff. I use Ry on my paperwork etc. because it is shorter than writing Rochelle Yvonne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Since I started playing hockey I have been called Crash a few times for the total lack of concern for my body and willingness to go crashing into the boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dennis almost always called me Annie-Roo. I have no idea why but that was his favorite name for me. Since Dennis is gone, my close friends now call me Annie-Roo...just in memory of Dennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeye Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 My Dad called me Scoop for reasons I don't remember. I'm glad that one didn't stick. My brother calls me Nessman from WKRP on Cincinatti's Les Nessman (my name is Leslie). I hated it at first but then used it as my email name for a while.
