When you were growing up… well… okay… as we grow up, are there any childhood nicknames that you were called that stick out in your mind?
My dad used to call me soonie boonie and even made up a song to it that he sang every morning when waking me up, that name has kind of stuck with my family through a variety of names like booner, etc. And I still get the usual… Suz, Susie Q, Suzanna Banana, Red (cuz of my hair) names.
We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another
Oh Yes.Twiggy.I was born in 1958,and she was popular in the 60’s.I was just as thin as her.But I didn’t Like it,I didn’t think she was pretty.I liked Nancy Sinatra!
My real name is Jill. I’ve been called the usual, Jillybean and Jellybean. A friend’s father used to call me Jillski. My father used to call me either Jillby or Skinny-connected-gas-pipe. And in 7th grade, when I had 2 other friends named Jill, I decided to change the spelling to Jyl. My father thought that looked ridiculous and said it really didn’t spell Jill at all, but Gile. He called me Gile for the next 5 years until I graduated high school and changed it back to Jill.
For the past 3 years on-line, my internet nickname has been Cat ^…^ and most all of my on-line friends know me, and refer to me, as that. I’m actually more comfortable with that than Shayna, but a) there were already a ton of “Cat” posters here, b) I was trying to be incognita to avoid a stalker (who I’m now fairly certain doesn’t come here) and c) I wasn’t sure the UserName field would allow for the ^…^ symbol, which I’ve always used to distinguish myself from other “Cats” on the internet, and without which I feel kindof nekkid

My family and old family friends all call me “Bird,” which is from some of the letters in my real name. I don’t mind it, really, but have mostly managed to keep it from spreading. (I fear that if more people know about it, I’ll never be called by my apparently unpronounceable real name again.)
My dad used to call me “Pocohantas” and “Gonzo”. I have no idea why, but since he called my sister the same things, I suspect he had a hard time remembering our names. My mother used to call me “Poor Cinderella” because she said that I acted like she was sooo mean to me, just like Cinderella’s step-mother. For the record, she was.
In school, I used to get called “Tatertot” because my last name was Tate. Hence, my user name. If you can’t beat 'em…
How could I have forgotten the ex-girlfriend’s father who called me “Condom?” Thinking back on it, I don’t recall him ever using my real name. Of course, this was a family that watched porn flicks together, over dinner.
My Mom used to call me SuzieQ tho I haven’t the foggiest notion why, my real name isn’t even close. My siblings called me Brat and that’s pretty self explanatory. The rest of the nicknames I wouldn’t dare let loose on this group!
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
hmmmm well my initials for my first and middle name…VD…which in high school really gave the guys a laugh to call me that…now…usually it’s bitch…or something along that line…
My mom has this obnoxious habit of calling me “Ms. America” Not sarcastically, either. She used to wake me up by singing, “Here she comes, Ms. America. . .” I have no idea why, and it drives me nuts since I am sooooo not that type.
A few people have called me “Shelly,” but none of them lived to tell about it. Even in the 8th grade when I spelled my name “Shelle” (because I was jealous of my brothers whose names are easily shortened to Bobby and Kenny), no one was allowed to pronounce the e at the end. It was “Shell” and that’s it!
The only other nickname I ever had (and I know you guys thought I was being facetious, but my friends really called me this) was “slut.” They only stopped recently because it bugs Carl so much.
Having the proper name Elizabeth, there are all kinds of nick names that I was called:
Elizabeast
Big E (I used to take a capital F and make it and E)
(those are names from my dad)
Other names:
Lizzard Breath (young bro and his buddies)
Bagles (tauntingly stupid)
Lizabitch (young bro when he was pissed)
Lizzy Liz
Lizzy Lez (I am hetro, another taunting)
Dizzy Miss Lizzy
To this day my dad still calls me Big E, and I call him “DaddiO” our last name starts with an O.
