Did You Have a Nick Name as a Kid?

Do you still have it?

[King_Fisher]

Seems nick names are going out of style these days. When I was young seems ever
body had one.
Mine was " Footsies" as I had rather large feet for my age. Unfortunately the
old myth that your foot size related to some of your other appendages proved
completely false!

Any body else?

My nickname was the rather boring second name and add "y".

I did know of a guy whose second name was Dunion. He was known as "Pickle" ... think about it.

Mine was 'Sodov'. Everytime I went near someone that was the comment :)

[Lipik]

"Witten" (=Dutch for the white-one) as I had blond hair, wich now is turning into gray...

[lawman]

Mikey - now just Mike

Dean-O. My mom is the only one that occasionally uses it. In high school I acquired the name Vapor Trail, from the habit of umm, refusing to use papers, and telling people to leave a vapor trail, not a paper trail. Guess it beat being called Bong Water...

Suzy..

>>Do you still have it?
guess so ;)

btw it's not based on my given name, but is on my middle name, only my Mum and hubby ever used it prior to web persona. I guess when you've got a one syllable name, nicknames can only get longer!

Sid and Giles

When I hit the internet they got mixed together to form Sig and latter Siggy.

I did and hated it, my family moved 150 miles away and I left my old nickname in the old neighborhood ;~)

How true - I don't hear kids with nicknames. Ours were endearing

Mine - "punkin" or "TJ"

My kids all have nick-names...totally unrelated to their given names- Boo, May, Buddy, Bubby

I was known as 'Prof', teach me for being studious.

Out of interest, in Jamaica *everyone* is known by an alias, or nick name. So while my wife's birth certificate refers to her as Deloris, everyone knows her as Joy. Her brother, Jonathan, is universally known as Roy, Alfred was always called Melbourne and so on. Seems bizarre to me, an Englishman, but vive l'difference!

When I was about 2 or 3, my youngest uncle nicknamed me "Bug" because I was always bugging him.

When I was a teenager, my parents started calling me SHK (pronounced "shik") for, well, I can't exactly say here... The "K" is for "kid." As for the "S" and "H," think of the name Steve Martin gave his dog in "The Jerk." :) (The movie is actually what gave my dad the idea.) Honestly, it was a term of endearment! I even used "SHK Consulting" as the DBA for my first business. The hard part was coming up with an alternative reason for "SHK" when clients asked about it! :)

When I was little (< 5 yrs) my nickname was Tintin.
Then, for a long time, I really didn't have a nickname.
But the last several years it's been Doc (for obvious reasons), or "bossman"

Unfortunately, it was a play of words of my last name, high school coach liked to call me "furburger"
:\

[TammyJo]

"furburger"

No Way! That sounds so familiar...I think there was a guy my senior year in high school that was called that. It was so long ago though I couldn't tell you who he was now.

To funny, either it was you or it's just good to know you weren't alone :)
