How did people nickname you?

Post Reply New Topic

It's been awhile since I've had a nickname. I don't believe many people wish to call me something to my face.
Well, Hefer came from a girl in gym class who was slurring the th in my name. She honestly didn't know what a hefer was, but she liked the sound, and it stuck (but only in gym).
Bambi was from a friend who kept calling me (and everyone else) dear. I said that dear reminded me of deer which reminded me of Bambi, and she started calling me that. I didn't mind.
I seem to remember being called something else, but I can't remember what. If I do, I'll update later.

Spaz.

Bastard. It started off as a joke on my Frisbee team shirt, but it's becoming a nickname.

My last name, because there's 3 other girls with the same first name in my grade.
I find it annoying, but I tolerate it.

Most of my nicknames were from family/friends. I had the usual teasing but nothing that actually stuck (geek, reject, weirdo, freak, boff, loner).

Some of my mates nicknamed me Magnet, because i was always chewing paper-clips, pieces of metal and batteries, Due to my sensory problems, I like the feeling and tequture of things like that in my mouth. So they started to call me Magnet because i was attracted to metal.

I got called Spo a lot in college because someone tpyed my name wrong on MSN and it came out 'Spoh' instead of 'Soph'. I don't know why people kept calling me it though.

I got called Jack Dee a lot - Jack Dee is a deadpan comedian in the UK who always has a straight face and I never tend to smile, my face tends to remain pretty neutral most of the time. Apparently, they thought I looked a bit like him (Jack Dee) as well. There was one teacher who used to call me 'smiler' as a joke because of this as well.

After a regretful incident when I got suspended for fighting back some bullies with some zeal; I was also called 'psycho' or 'that psycho' for a while as well.

Primary school: Great Wise Girl, because I had the highest grades of my classroom.

Secondary School (first year): Miriam, because 3rd grade guys said I look like their classmate and her name was Miriam.

Technical college or High School: There was a group of jokers and bulliers on my classroom, and they had offensive nicknames for all the class, but that nicknames are secret and only they knew them. One of member of my group told us that, and he knew my nickname but he didn't want to tell me

College or University (I don't know the difference between these terms): My schoolmates know about my interest for samurais and swords, and some people know me as "the Samurai Girl", but the most part of them call me Diana, my real name.

I was nicknamed Pat, after the Saturday Night Live character from the early 90s.

Tim

Ashleigh 3.

I was called the Absent Minded Professor by my teachers in high school.

My real name is Helen and I was called Smelly Helly Belly by my family.

This gradually became Smelena which is what my husband mostly calls me. (could also be because I'm vegetarian and fart a lot after too many beans)

My husband and I called each other Honey Bunny years before Pulp Fiction came out.

He bought me a hat that said Honey Bunny. He was so proud of this hat and made me wear it when I watched him play soccer.

Smelena

big joe, crazy joe or lumberjack is what people called me

I got called variations on smiler by people in the year above, but I think its because I was always smiling...

I also had,

Big Head,
Square Head,
Cheggers - (I supposedly look like Keith Chegwin , I don't like the connotations with that name though)
Brenty - I have been likened to David Brent from THe Office - never really watched it so no comment
Golden (not my actual surname but close enough - protecting my id )
Goldo
Goldenator - supposedly I was called this, enough for it to be mentioned in my year book, and my friend tell my housemates when she visited. Wierd thing is, I don't remember it ever.

I sometimes get called Dingo,
this came about on a Scout camp, where we were in teams, my team named each other litterations on part of there name, or plays on them. Dingo went with Dave (and my Tilley Hat) and so a legend was born. This is my most common online alias, or renditions of it

More recently, I have also been known as Rambo - this is due to my obsession with gear (I always have something you need I think) and for wearing a bandana one day up a mountain (it was too hot for a full hat).

I got a new one yesterday that seems to be sticking. "Shadow," compliments of the people I had to follow on shadow day. I kinda of like that one though.

Oh, and I remembered the one that I had forgotten earlier. It was Hel (pronounced Hell). It was a combination of my friend's name - Mel, for short - and my name. They called both of us Hel.

Having looked at wiki concerning this character, I have decided it is a negative nickname, what do you guys think...
