BritBill Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Did or do you still have a nickname? Growing up in the late 80's/90's we went through a phase of calling each other by our mother's forename. My mum is called Lesley and my nickname of Les has stuck with me for over 25 years now. You can always tell which set of friends knew me from growing up as they call me Les where as people I've met and become friends with through soccer/work/ etc all call me by my actual given name. 1
Royale with Cheese Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Ruck is my nickname. That's what everyone calls me outside of work.
thenorthremembers Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Was 6'0 230 going in the 6th grade. Went to the high school for orientation the summer before my 7th grade year, wore a yellow shirt. A senior yelled out an open window "Holy crap here comes Big Bird." It stuck throughout high school and morphed into Bird sometime around 10th grade. 2 1

Bobby Hooks Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I don't normally tell people this as it's kind of embarrassing but you guys seem cool. Everyone in my life calls me by the nickname Super Cool Awesome Tough Strong Man aka: the bringer of the Thunderpunch. Or SCATSMAKATBOTT for short. 1
Bob in Mich Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I had a mispronunciation of my name during roll call by my new math teacher on the first day of senior year. One of my buddies twisted that a bit with wit and a split second later, another wisecrack, and for my senior year I was the 'Shiek'. Lots of yearbook references.... I had forgotten about the name when at my 10 year reunion, decades ago now, I had just walked in and was trying to talk to someone that I recognized. It was hard to hear because there was some fool hollering a bit behind me in the crowded bar area. After a bit, when I finally focused on what he was hollering, I had to laugh. SHEEEEEEK!. 1
WhoTom Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 My football nickname was "Meatball," compliments of my defensive coach (before they were called "coordinators.") Now I just go by my given name: John Jacob Jinglehiemer Schmidt.

eball Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Pretty sure I have one...can't remember it though...
Steve O Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Through the years it's been O, big O, little O, finally seems to have settled in at Steve O the past 4 decades. Anyone who drops the Steve has known me at least since college, more likely since high school or earlier. 1

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 I think I'll start to call people Jon Snow.
WhoTom Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 The preacher-man calls me a sinner, but his little girl calls me a saint.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) "They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes They called me fatso, they called me buckwheat They called me Eddie..." Actually, my father called me: Chico when I was a small boy. I wonder if he knew it meant "small boy" in Spanish or because I looked like Freddie Prinze? I am not a "Francisco."
