Your Nickname(s)

Well my real name is Margaret but NO ONE every calls me that - only when i was little and was in trouble or by my elderly relatives!!! :D

Maggie is what i am known as to all! but at university I had the nick name of Mags then that progressed to Mad Mags Moo or Mooser! I am a bit mad and the Mad cow disease was very much in the papers so they all thought I had mad cow so called me Mad Mags Moo - I too like cows they are really quite lovely! :D :D

My brother lovingly calls me Cat Pee Lover or Mad cat lady!!!!! :rolleyes: :D

When I was little I had an aunt who called me Pammie Lou (my middle name is Louise). She has passed away now so I don't hear that any more and thankfully no one else picked up on it.

One of my co-workers calls me Doodle. It just started one day out of the blue sky. It stuck and now several of my co-workers call me Doodle. One day even my boss referred to me as Doodle. :o :rolleyes:

My daughter (Christiansmommy) has a few nicknames. She used to love that song on Sesame Street, when she was little, that dealt with the alphabet. Her favorite was "J" and it went sort of like this: "J" and a jean and a jelly bean, let's sing a song about "J." She really belted it out when they sang about "J" so I called her Jelly Bean for many years. One of her other nicknames was Robbo Dobbo. I actually can't remember how that one started. (She will kill me when she reads this). :o

My grandmother- God Rest her Soul- use to call me " Shelley-kins".. I would love to hear it again from her.. My parents use to call me "little bit" as I was very tiny in height compared to everyone else in the family.

Way back When ... the 70's ... I moved to the Boonies in Ohio and of course
joined the local Volunteer Fire Department.

After assisting at a few fires - that hadn't gone all that well - I "suggested" we change a
few tactics and procedures, and become a tad bit more organized. Our new Chief agreed
and "we" set out to train and revamp the Department.

Enter "Freddie Firefighter" - a realistic Firefighter caricature featured in some children's
fire safety coloring books that were popular "back then".

Whenever one of "The Old Pharts" questioned "Who Said" we otta do something
"differently" - I'd respond with "Freddie Firefighter Sez So"!

In time, Chief Dave became "Freddie Fire Chief" (his wife HATED that!) and
I became "Freddie Firefighter" ... often shortened to just plain "Fred".

Tyme marched on ... Chief Dave was gone ... my turn in the Hot Seat ...
elected Fire Chief ... and The Guys decided I was the new "Freddie Fire Chief".
Pretty soon EVERYone thought "Fred" was the Chief ... nobody knew who "John" was!

I just adopted "Phred" as the sphelling ... and the rest is History.
For 10 years I was "Phred" on the Fireground - and everyone knew it.
To this day, my fellow "Old Phart" fire buddies call me Phred; the New Guys still
wonder who the "John" Guy is on the roster. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

So ... if you KNOW me - I'm "Phred" ...

Mine is Shell. Mom used to call me Shelly-Belly when I was little lol :rolleyes:

Hmmmmm when I was little I was Red. Except to my brother, I was Kitten or Kitty. My MIL calls me DarlingDoolittle, and to everyone else they use Jaspers term Babyfigle. (don't even go there) LOL mostly Red stuck, although Thomas still calls me Kitty :rolleyes: (he couldnt say Kymmy when we were younger)

:D "so know we know... the rest of the story!"Thanks for the 'splanation, Phred!

I don't really have nicknames as such. Occasionally the PE teacher at my school might call me 'Zed' or 'Zar'. Some teachers also just call me Miss H*****, the name in asterixes being my surname which I don't wish to share on the internet where any rogue guests could see! ;) I'm called that for sheer irony most of the time as it's an unusual surname and probably doesn't suit me :p

My mum calls me 'sweetheart' or 'darling'. :rolleyes:

When I was little my nickname was Mutsie (pronounced like the shoe brand, Mootsie). I'm still not exactly sure where that one came from.

The class bully used to call me Elsie the Borden Cow. That still hurts.

My nephew and each of my nieces gave me a different "title" when they couldn't quite say my name. My oldest called me "Cease" and that has stuck for 25 years! She's 25 years old and her mother still calls me Cease. I love it. The other ones are Aunta Ease, Aunta Leet and my youngest niece called me "Grandma" for awhile as well as her other aunts and both of her grandmothers! Every female except for her mom was Grandma. I'm not sure why.

I picked up a new nickname as an adult - friends at church call me Leesie. Heavy emphasis on the ee - Leeeeeeeesie! I don't mind. The same group of friends came up with it that gave my cat the name Cassie Lassie. She even has a Christmas stocking from one of them with Cassie Lassie written on it!

Ohhh Monkeydinks....... LOL!
Oh Pat... I'm going to make sure I don't forget that one!! :D :D

Some old one's of mine are:
Belch
Smiley
and my personal favorite....
Pickles
(pickles was because of my stinky feet on a family trip when I was younger :o )

:o Alright, wiseguy...and which one of these would you like me to call you? Belch? or Pickles?:p

ROFL! :d

Mines pretty simple "GreyhoundGirl" lol... bet no one could have guessed that... :p

My nickname was Betty. Later on in school it was Lizard. :D

oh wow, I have a ton of nicknames.

The Informer ~~ After being somewhere, I'd come home and tell everyone all about it. My mom always told my dad, "you can go anywhere you want, as long as you take the informer".
Weed ~~ This derived from Stinkweed...
Weeders ~~ My parents trying to be cute with the Weed
Buckner ~~ Friends call me by my last name.. what can I say?
Buckineer ~~ 8th grade friends decided to be cute.
Roofus ~~ On a mission trip, I worked on the roof for a straight week, and only wanted to mess up one pair of jeans with tar and stuff... so by the end of the week, my pants were rather "roofy"
SaraBeara ~~ Common nickname for Sara, I believe.
Sare (one syllable) ~~ My mom likes to shorten my name a lot...
SaraLou ~~ My grandmother used to call me this... my name is Sara Louise.


I've got a ton more, but a lot of them have stories behind them that I can't remember.

Most, if not all, of those names are still being used today. My dad started calling me Weed again just a few weeks ago.... and I was thought it was going to be one of those childhood nicknames and that's it!!! Nope, I was wrong.
