What Was Your Childhood Nickname?

[nuuskur]

Been called mostly Sasha all my life :D Well that's my name, too, so it helps. Back in teenage years, guys were referring to each other by their last name. My dad's name is Ilja, when we had CCCP in history class and we learned about Lenin, people sometimes called me Lenin, because of my father's name.

This was my nickname in primary school:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissel
for the apparent similarity between its viscous, amorphous consistency and my über-phlegmatic demeanour at the time. Nothing to do with sweetness or kissability

In middle school I was upgraded to 'phantom', and it stuck for years.
Needless to say, the young me wasn't a terribly extroverted kid.

Oh middle school is horrible for many reasons, nicknames being just one. My oldest brother was a remarkably slow runner and had the nickname "Turtle" in elementary school - he didn't mind that too much. In middle school it was shortened to "Turd" which he minded very much.

That said, "phantom" isn't a bad nickname, I think!

It's nice to hear that, a bit more information I have now.
I will never kill any turtles (I also can't do it myself actually haha). Nicknames as Mick/Mickey passed, next come again the Minnie, Ostrich and the Geese which are becoming pretty popular in my area.

Oh, I was pretty popular in school, despite the nickname. Or maybe it even helped. Somehow it took on some weird quality of authority, and I embraced it.

The random nature of social relations in school is the weirdest thing ever.
