At school, we have:

–Moose: her real name is Margaret, and I have never found out why she is called Moose. It’s how she introduced herself to me.
–Twiggy: Her real name is Theresa (ok, it’s actually Huong, but no one can pronounce that), but she is only about 4’10" and 90 pounds.
–Fuzzy: Her real name is Jennifer. I’m the one who gave her the nickname, and I don’t remember why.
–Morgasm Wienerstroker: What else would you call a guy named Morgan Wienstroer?
–Big Gay Robert: this one is self explanatory. It also differentiates him from the other Roberts.
–Anarchy Nick (aka That Guy): He’s a rabid, foaming at the mouth anarchist, but he never says anything in large groups. “Who’s Anarchy Nick? Oh, that guy.”
–Steven the Gum Slut: Steven always has gum. He gives it to anyone who asks.
–Hazelnut: his last name is Hazelrigg
–Mack Daddy Rizzo: This was his Halloween costume, and it stuck.

Man, I’m ready to go back to school.

I am Emfish, since my first name is Emma and I’m a Pisces.

My friend Jen invented a language, and one of the rules of grammar was that you add “-mo” to the end of someone’s name, therefore my best friend Ashley became Ashmo, and we had a Katmo, a Krismo and a Jenmo, of course.

Our good friend Dave needed to be differentiated from all the other Daves, so we called him ENG Dave, whereby ENG stood for “extra nitro gay”, because he is. Then one day he put some tinsel on his head and Jenmo said, “Look, Dave is Christmas!” So he was also known as Santamo.

My friend Katrina and I started calling one another Aphrodite Emo and Artemis Katmo in University, for obvious reasons (aside from our interest in Greco-Roman history, ahem ahem).

My favourite will always be calling my friend Sarah Starlet, because her hair did this glossy flipped-under thing that was all the rage in old movies, like on Lauren Bacall and those ancient cheesecake shots of Marilyn Monroe.

At work…

I am Loquan.

At all times since grade school, I have had at least one friend who called me Dr. Jones; most of these people have never met–each came up with it independently, and each was referring to the Indiana Jones movies. You may feel free to envision me as a young Harrison Ford, if you like (I don’t object to flattering delusions;)). Other names I’ve answered to in real life include Ox, Number Ten Ox, Bones (while I was playing jazz in bar gigs), Balance (I like hanging out with the DFW Dopers), and most of my LARP character names (you try spending whole weekends in character, then dropping it instantly). It’s a wonder that I ever know when someone is addressing me.

Friends’ nicknames, in no particular order:

Scooter–Scott
Igor–We often conned him into doing the dodgy bits while making fireworks.
Mutt–While in his presence, and only then, I was called “Jeff”–fairly obscure for kids in the 80s, and I don’t remember how it started.
Ditch–Voted “Most Likely to End Up Dead In a Ditch” in high school. He’s a teacher now.
Poi Boi-A college chum who came back from a trip to Hawaii raving about how fabulous the food had been.
Longshot–Not for luck or daring–he got it by shooting an 8 ounce glass of tequila. Well, maybe for daring…or stupidity.
Morgana–Occasional Arthurian nick for a dark, slender, Gothy girl named Morgan.
Biatch–Not so much a nick as a title that gets passed around among some of my friends. Whoever screwed up last, usually by bailing out of some planned activity, is “Biatch” until he redeems himself, or somebody else screws up.
Sir Robin–Extremely timid, but funny, college friend. Usually shortened to Robin.
Shame–He didn’t have any, so we gave him some by morphing his name.
Kimchee–Kimberly had a thing for Korean food.
Shades–A stoner who wore shades all the time to cover up dilated eyes.
Sticks–An enthusiastic (but not very good) drummer I played with in some bar gigs. The joke was that he could keep the sticks, as long as someone else had the drums. Naturally, his best friend was…
Stones–Trumpet player and Rolling Stones fan.
Blood–Sax man in the same combo. I never asked where he got it.

and last, but not least–
Monkeybutt–He used the “and maybe monkeys will come flying out of my butt” line once too often.

Ah the wonders of nicknames. Sadly I’ve never had friends with such poetic names as some of the previously posted. But the group of people I always hung around with had a habit of sticking bob on the end of people’s names, despite what there real middle name was. Thus we had Danny-bob, Ton-bob, and various other bob’s. Most of the rest of us simply had shortened versions of our names, and of course there was Cameron, the e in her name looked like an o on her cheerleader’s jacket, so Carmen, was Cameron. There was of course Lynn, who earned the nickname ninja, weather or not he practiced any martial art I’m not sure, but he could run up a wall and do a back flip. And of course there is me, I was dubbed with the title of “Just Chuck”, I was told it was because there was no other way to describe me, with interests that ran the gambit, and friends in the highest ranks of each social circle, from the prom queen, the genius, the preachers daughter, and the quarterback, to the guy who could always get a quarter sack.

One of my high school friends was “Wasted.” He never actually got wasted; his name was Wasim and he could be pretty out there mentally.
Another was “Bloo Spi,” but that wasn’t a nickname. It was his alien name - you see, he was really a Pan-Dimensional Cosmic Entity. In his original universe, he was a god, but he swapped bodies with a kid here because he was bored. He started telling people this story in fifth grade, and by the time I met him (a few years later), everybody accepted it as the truth because he never broke character. Another friend used to razz him by calling him Kal-El.

College, however, is where the nicknames got interesting:

WardMan - Actually, that was his short nickname, and there were a few variations. The long one was “WardMan” Nick Ward (of the Clan McWard) Ward. I don’t know why there are some extra names in there. Fun, I guess.
Monkey - usually played Donkey Kong during games of Super Smash Brothers. Complete psycho.
B-Dubs or Dubs - initials were B.W.
Lex - (A)lex[ander].
Ranger - it was his middle name. And who wouldn’t go by their middle name if it was Ranger?
Uber - someone decided he was the Uber-Freshman. This sometimes turned into “Ubes.” It was helpful, actually, since he was also named Nick.
Teve - his name was Steven, and I guess he found Steve boring. This was usually pronounced teh-VAY, but sometimes it was tay-VAY. Or Taves. Have I mentioned he was a theatre guy? Always made me think of Tevye…

Of course, you also give great nicknames to people you don’t like.
In college, there’s Sketchy Darren because, well, more than one girl in my dorm has had him come up to her and ask “If you were drunk enough, would you make out with me?” He hasn’t had a date in ages (no surprise), so nobody thinks he’s kidding. I’d put up with the :wally to a greater degree if he didn’t spend so much time ogling and creeping out my girlfriend when we’re together.
