How did people nickname you?

Post Reply New Topic

"Shrimp" - From my small stature

"fishboy" - A more affectionate nickname poking fun at my previous obsession with marine biology.

Jeff mostly, and variations thereof.

I was once dubbed "Sparky" because I accidentally unleashed a virus in my school's computer network, which broke it.

Petrol by a garage attendant
Pick by a friend (rhymewith Nick)
Croaker or Crocus (spin on surname. Teachers are hilarious)
Monkey boy (big ears)
Harrison Ford for my expression
Yid, P-word, terrorist, Iraqi all because my drivers licence makes me look Middle Eastern (I'm a Celt, through and through)
Speedy (my tendancy to daydream during tasks I didn't care for at my first job)
Beefcake and Beefy due to the way I caught a rugby ball, and I'm quite big.
Numpty in general, mainly for sticking my finger in a machine and getting it cut off.
Smiler
Badger because at 25 I have a cluster of white or silver, not grey, hair at the front.
Mad, Crazy, Weird Nick
Freak
Klutz

Everyday I used to be either called:
1. Crybaby (as I wasn't diagnosed with asd until I was six and I cried if anyone shouted at me)
2. Pumpkin
3. 4 eyes (I wear glasses)

A very good friend of mine came up with Stevopedia, because everyone is convinced that I know everything. It's a combination of my first name and Wikipedia.

This one is easy. My name is Jessamine, so people call me Jess for short

People used to call me Snakey as I would hiss when annoyed or frightened.

I was once called "Mr. U.S. Hwa Rang Kwan" because I joined the dojo that the GMU Kendo Club was associated with. No longer have the name due to I'm an officer for the club now.

Edited at request

"Redders" Came from an adaptation of my Surname, and I actually prefer that much more than my real name. Hence why wherever I go, I'll let people Universally know me as that. Only Parents and teachers call me by my first name, but other than that, Redders is what I'll have to be my accepted name

It's interesting that this thread is still alive.

Anyway. Here goes.

"Tonks", like the HP character, because I'm clumsy.
"Coke", or "Cokey" to some.
"Whore", says my aunt.
"Psycho" and "Nerd" are typical at school.
"Hey Ana", "Skinnyfat", "Boner", and various other things spurred from my weight issues.
"It", because.. yeah.

That's all, I think.

when I was a kid I was kalled CP (cerebral peres) and it annoyed me, but other then that I had no nicknames.
Now I am Called klutz klutzdottir ( I have an Icelandic last name ) and scatterbrain but it's affectionite nicks and never said to be mean. I love my school.

-Limey (born in England)
-Cuntlips (by the bullies.. bastadization of my last name)
-Condom (same as above)
-Condor (short term by my friends in grade school)
-Duck (big feet - size 13 in 8th/9th grade, and toes pointed outward)... this lead to taunts like, "Duck you sucker!" which either meant I was being called a sucker or I was about to get hit with something.
-MacGyver (I usually have something with me or can find something to fix things right after they break)
-Osama (because of my rather large beard I wear sometimes and I'm 6'2" and I hear he's tall too... I really don't look like him though). Funny thing... I wanted a Koran and I ordered one from Islamic Publications and had it sent to my work. That got a few comments about me being a terrorist and all.

When we were picking out a name for our child (we didn't want to know the sex before birth), my wife and I went through all the names in some huge baby name book.
With every name, we'd see if we could come up with horrible nicknames that other children might use and if we did... we didn't put that name on the list.
Our daughter has had more fun playing with her own name than other kids have... I think.

Half the stuff I have been nicknamed would get me a block if I posted it in the forum. However, I have been called "ret*d", and things similar to that by people who don't understand why I act the way I do. At this camp I went to last summer, they always did. One of the boys in my bunk's father actually diagnoses these kinds of things, so the boy had a pretty good guess of my diagnosis. However, they still called me "ret*d".

My usual nicknames were some witty, humorous spins on my last name (Selseth): Selsen Blue, Selz, Alki-Selzer, Selsenator, Selsenhiemer, etc.
