My dad had weird pet names for both my brothers & me. I was Monkeydinks. OMG, I can't believe I'm telling you guys this!

[shais_mom]

good thread!
I am often simply called "Stace".
At work I'm called - SMuss - or by my last name.
SMuss b/c it used to be my email address.
Why they call me by my last name I don't know b/c its way longer then my first name!
When I was starting to talk I had trouble saying my own name so it would come out - Tae-Te - soooo I've been called Tate or Tater all my life, it was even my CB handle when my dad drove semi.
For awhile I was also called Daisy or Daci b/c my cousin's couldn't say my name.
And the other is when I was in elementary school I went with my grandma to her sister's house to make candy or noodles or something- and my great uncle instead of calling me by my name he called me Ralph or Fred- all evening. I went home and told my dad and he has called me Ralph ever since!
I come from a long line of "nicknamer's".
My grandma that passed away - her name was Grace Josephine and she went by Josie or "Ting" I really don't know where that started.
My grandpa that has passed away was always referred to as "Cot". I have an Uncle Buck, and an Aunt Dutch also and neither are their given names.
My dad has been called "Short" or "Shorty" all his life. Some of his cousin's when introducing him to their significant other - usually call him "Short" and I have heard several of them say "And I can't remember what your real name is b/c I just know you as "Short"!"
When I was a child My maternal grandma was "Grandma TED" b/c my mom's youngest brother is 16 years younger than she is so when I was growing up he lived at home - so I associated him with them. My paternal grandma was "Grandma TIPPY" b/c we had a dog that in the summer lived with us b/c she could be outside and in the winter she went to my grandma's where she could live inside so I always associated Tippy with them.

My mom used to call me Missy when I was younger. My youngest brother called me Twace and he'll sometimes write this name in my birthday cards. A lady who used to babysit us called me Helpful Hanna. She called my brothers Spunky Monkey and Crying Hyena. Some of my co-workers call me Trace for short.

My brother and sister called me "Pumpkin Head" when I was little. They said it was because I was so tiny, that all I had was a head!

My father still to this day calls me "Wrotten". That started one Christmas morning when I said that I couldn't believe I had gotten so many presents because I was "just wrotten". He has never let me live that comment down!

My dad and hubby both also call me "Kimbo" and my mom calls me "Kim Kim".

Despite my protests over these years, my husband still calls me Angel. I think it's odd. Sometimes he'll call me Wiki (weeky).

My parents call me Troublemaker most of the time. Occasionally they will refer to me as "that Bad Seed".

Everyone else just calls me Angelique. Nobody has tried to give me nicknames, beyond that! (You know, except for when you were a kid and people called you things like booger brain. )

When I was small my dad and my gran used to call me "queenie" and as I got older I got called "Bruce" because my surname was "Lee" and then when I started going out with my husband he noticed that I liked "Winnie the Pooh" so he started to call me "Pooh Bear" and it has stuck.

[davidpizzica]

I prefer to be called Dave, however at work I get Davey which I can't stand! Over the years I've gotten Piz (a shortened form of my last name) Also at work I'm usually "Hey You"!

A lady who used to babysit us called me Helpful Hanna. She called my brothers Spunky Monkey and Crying Hyena.

I am thinking that lady doesn't need to babysit anymore.....

Way back When ... if you KNOW me - I'm "Phred" ...

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

[Miss Z]

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

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

[cassiesmom]

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!!

Some old one's of mine are:
Belch
Smiley

Pickles
(pickles was because of my stinky feet on a family trip when I was younger )

Ralph is also on of my mom's nicknames!

STAIM!
