In middle school, I had really short hair and kids would call me It. This of course, got upgraded to Sh!t later as time went by.
The rest of high school, I was just the weirdo . . . or nervous freak . . . depending on the crowd.
Now in grad school school, I just go by my chosen nickname. "Val."
EDITED to say that if I could really pick a nickname that I'd like to be called, it'd be "Hawkeye."
