My brother says “Hey” to get my attention and then “Homie” to address me, so “HeyHomie.” He says it while imitating Homer’s friend Barney on The Simpsons.
Yes, but only by people I met here or in LJ.
One of my best friends calls me Aes.
No. Well, the servants obviously, but I prefer everyone else to be less formal.
No
Yep. It means “turkey breast” (pulyka, “turkey,” + mell, “breast.”) And it should be pronounced with three syllables, as “POOY-kaw-mell.” Not that I think anybody actually pronounces it that way unless they happen to know Hungarian orthography and phonology.
Varlos gets used everyday as the real name of a real person, a fellow New Yorker, but someone who is *almost *a complete stranger to me: Varlos Z. Xxxxxxxxxxx. I stole it because it sounded cool.
I sometimes worry, though, that other people don’t read the name as “Varlos-Zee,” but rather as something closer to “Varloz,” which is not nearly as cool.
I picked this name because I was tired of using the same one around the net. Since I wanted it to be something that would stick, I picked the only nickname I would be called that I thought wouldn’t be embarrassing.
My name starts with a T, and I’m big. My cousin is the only one who uses that nickname, though. Most people just shorten it to T, but that’s too short for a username.
The only other nickname I’ve had that stuck is Squirrel, which is what my uncle called me when I was younger. I was hyper, and had chubby cheeks.
As I mentioned in another thread, mine is a tribal name meaning Red Hawk. So, yes it is used sometimes in real life. The use is normally restricted to speakers of the Creek language, otherwise it is just “Hawk”.
My sister’s name is Robyn and when my oldest was a baby one of her first words was Bob and I couldn’t figure out what she wanted until one day my sister came to visit and my daughter got all excited and repeated Bob over and over again until my sister picked her up. She’s been Aunt Bob or Bobby ever since.
Mine’s an Italian motor-sicle.
I have 2. They’re shiny.
