Guys, if you don’t keep me out of jail, then my Uncle will be very unhappy.
I’m sorry, but it doesn’t get any worse than a grown woman being known as “Tipper”.
If I ever get to be Evil Overlord, I’m definitely not hiring someone named Scooter to be my right-hand man.
Among a few of my friends I think I’ll be “Goob” for life.
sigh damn older brothers.
When I was in college, one of my frat brothers was army ROTC, and wanted to be nicknamed “The General” in the worst way. To his consternation, we called him “Chuckles” the entire time he was in school. The first rule of nicknames is, you never get to pick your own.
…Or, Lady Bird.
‘Horny’? It means that here, too.
I have a dog named Scooter. He was named long before anyone heard of Scooter Libby. That dog is friendly and affectionate, but he’s just about as dumb as a box of rocks.
Given that he’s a “Jr.,” I’m assuming the Scooter was originally simply to distinguish him from his father.
(And the I. is for Irving.)
[Robin Williams] You know why LBJ named his daughter “Linda Bird?” Because “Linda Dog” would be too cruel. [/RW] 
Especially if it’s one that stupid.
I was known as “Budda” throughout high school, mostly on the sports teams I played on. But no one here at college is aware of that nickname, and nor will they find out.
I do have some friends that call me by a couple of particularly cringe-worthy nicknames derived from my actual name (the origin of “Budda” is confusing and bears no resemblance to my real name). Oddly enough, by some sort of convergent evolution, they managed to find the nickname granted me by one of my godparents long ago.
Anyway, even though I am sometimes called by silly, childish nicknames, only my closest friends use them, and I can’t imagine being publically known by a nickname like that. Ick!
Heh, if there’s anyone on this board from my high school, than they know who I am now…
