What Was Your Childhood Nickname?

[lisab]

My dad called me Sugarfoot because I would climb all the time, but I (almost) never fell.

What was your childhood nickname? How did you get it? Don't be shy !

What stage/age-range of childhood? I've had many. Seriously.

Sugarfoot! That's adorable lol. Mine are a bit unimaginative, when I was a young kid my friends and family called me "Ry". Some of them still do which is kind of nice. As a teenager it was common for all the boys to refer to each other by their last names and (at the time anyway) replacing the last syllable with "erz" or "ee" was the thing to do. So I was "Beggerz", because my last name starts with Beg ¬¬ can't say I was happy with that one.

I don't have a nick name or want to use one. But in my area, that people in rural areas call young boys "tiny cocks" is not uncommon. Sometimes, some old men in the street call me so, and I like it very much, of course if they are handsome!

 

[gracy]

My nickname was and still is "gracy".I think I don't need to tell the reason it's quite obvious.

In my school, it was the " nator" suffix added to names, until poor Yuri , fresh from Russia arrived. And there was, of course, John, " No Nickname" Jones.

Some have mistaken the l for an i. dig off

Way back to my Granddad our male members have been called cocker, no one knows where it came from , and it holds firm to this day.

 

[Enigman]

The best ones were Adventure (I jumped from things a lot) and Gandhi's Zombie (for being a pacifist sleepy guy who does a Civ5 Gandhi from time to time). Both didn't stick very long but they were the coolest ones.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

My family abbreviated my name to "Jo", or possibly got it from the A A Milne rhyme about "Jonathan Jo". In my first vacation job, someone who knew about that introduced me as "Jo" to some workmates in the pub, and I added "short for Jonathan". The reply was: "Hi Jo-short-for-Jonathan - but that's too much of a mouthful, so we'll call you shortfer for short". It stuck for a painfully long time.

Mine was The Shadow because it was a popular radio show and my first name is the same as that of the character, Lamonte.
