Your Nickname(s)

[jackmilliesmom]

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.

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"!

[Mad Mags Moo]

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!!!

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!

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

[Pam]

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.

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).

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.

[Cinder & Smoke]

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.

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

[CatLuvrs]

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

[DrKym]

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 (he couldnt say Kymmy when we were younger)

[lizbud]

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

[buckner]

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.

[Almita]

Well these are my nicknames.

Almita -- when i was little since my name is Alma and my mother's name is Alma as well, they called me Almita.

Mayeya -- my mom's dad used to call her that when she was younger and now she calls me that so she can remember him at times.

AlmaDelia -- it's my real name, but i mostly use it as a nickname since it's rare for people to call me that since there is rarely any Alma's at my school.

Squirt -- Vette that is also on PT, named me that because she could never spell Almita, and from all of our friends that we talk to I was the youngest she called me that. Also because i love turtles, but i don't think that is part of why she named me that haha.

Pibes -- I get named that from my oldest brother Hector. I don't know why he called me that but he calls me, and Chiquis that.

That's all i can remember, there are more but not common ones that i'm mostly named by.
