How did people nickname you?

Post Reply New Topic

Did people nickname you? I mean not necessarily at school.
During school I have been nicknamed 'whity' (because of my pale complexion) or 'gecko' (they thought I look like one, side-face lol) or 'geek' of course.

My parents used to call me "Jesse Bear" because that was the name of some book I liked and also my real name.

Some kid at school would call me "Messy Jesse"

i pretty much refuse to be called anything but my real name, not that anyone tried to give me a nickname before anyway. some of my friends tried once or twice, but they couldn't find anything that "fit" and nothing ever stuck. other than when my mom would call me marie elizabeth for some reason when i was in really big trouble (it's not my real name). she used to tell me that she called me that bc i was acting so bad that i couldn't possible be her child lol.

'robot' ...for a short time in secondary school (probably high school)

At school, my nicknames varied from year to year, but they all ranged from from annoying to downright insulting. Some examples include "stupid", "ret*d", and "nuts" (meaning crazy). The number of people using the nicknames peaked at two time periods: sixth grade and junior year of high school.

Among my friends, no particular nickname stuck, probably because efforts to "be like everyone else". A few nicknames were used briefly (none of them was a put-down), but none stuck for longer than a few weeks. A shortened version of my last name was used on an on-and-off basis for the past four years, but it not regularly enough to be considered an actual nickname.

Interesting thread. It's always interesting to analyze how one's nicknames change over time.

Besides the obvious, I have recieved the following nicknames:

9th grade: Arrow (some wordplay on my real name. Don't know when and how it started, but it was only used within band class - the memory of which makes me want to heave)

10th Grade: Various odd mispronounciations of my first name. Eh-ron, Uh-ron, and Ah-roan were common.

11th grade: One kid calls me MacCracker. This is based on the fact that I'm, uh, white, and the resemblence that it has to my last name.

How they nickname me depends on whether or not they want to live.

Mostly in regards to my name. My username comes from a Japanese nickname that someone at my school gave me when she was completely obsessed with anime and manga.

Nothing special, Johnny or called me by last name. I was jokingly called The John in sixth grade but other than that no nicknames really.

I like to call my brother Jon Jaun using Spanish pronunciation. It really pisses him off.

Ha that probably wouldn't po me. One nick I did resent though was from my brother's friends and it was Johnny Appleseed. Reallly lame.

I hate being called Mikey.

most of my nicknames would be plays on my name.. since my name is Mikhail (hopefully someone can pronounce that right) people would change it to like.. Mik, Mikayla, Michelle, Mika-el-la, Mickey, Mi-ka-yel, Michael... never got called Mikey/Mike though.

I've got one 'wierd' one: Smilie, from 'smiling too much'.

all references to my last name. you can do a lot with Gold. and mostly people either called me John or Johnny G.

my nicknames:

elementry school: monroe legs(as in the car shock manufacturer)
camping girl, jess day/night(wordplay of last name)

middle school:
door devil (was always seen near a door)this is also when the interest of fixing doors and collecting closers started

high school: miss fix it or door doctor, beucase i used the knowladge that was taught to me by the middle school custodians and taught custodians or fixed the high school's doors.

technical school i attended same years as high shcool: same as above (doordoctor)

post high school: aol tech because i used to sit on aol for soooo long that i one day posted the anatomy of a popup(literally) on a message board on the bad isp, an aol tech support tech in mumbai india seen it and was interested and impressed on my knowladge, and shared with him the problems i had with the software and i learned from him and he learned from me, then the word kinda spread and had like 2 other techs asking q's lol

i miss them though, i guess they been layed off

aol chat rooms: door closer, door girl (i used to ask and offer help on door parts and repair in the chat room archetecture that used to start at about 8 pm on aol.
