As in Mozart?
Well, I was called 'moog', 'coops', 'mublin' Sam' the tramp', mumblin', and 'wrong un'.
I'm pretty sure there are other names but I can't rember them.

Oh gosh! how come when an Aspie does it it's not cool, but an NT does it and it is?? In 7th grade I made the mistake of wearing a shirt with Elmo's face on the front. the back says Elmo. unfortunantely people noticed the similarity and the nickname stuck, of course people explained that Elmo was a "f*****g Monster" and I was and we look alike(Our hair/fur, big and red...)and of course I'm a freakish Monster so I became Elmo. People didn't even really knwo my name. this year 9th grade luckily they don't care me it as much. one guy called me it and when i explained it wasn't my name he said "Oh. I thought it was, never knew."

Oh, I'm also called 'goth' due to me once kind of being one... But it has stuck... I'm also affectionatly known as Morrissey, Robert Smith, The Cure or just plain 'Smith' (because the bands I like- it has no relation to my name).
I've been called a dictionary by some. But then your going to appear articulate if the people who you communicate with do not know what a pessimist is...

When I was at high school catching the bus, I wasn't entitled to having a bus pass, because I live 400m too close to the perimeter of the school. Therefore, I had to pay every time I went on, 50 cents each way, which isn't too bad. However, some kids - whom I didn't really know - then started calling me a knickname that was of the most blatent paradox:
I used to get called "big bird" because I was rather tall and acted "blonde" an awful lot. Otherwise it's just normal names that arise from my actual name - although a mate started calling me james for some reason, I think he just got it stuck in his head. Oh and I got called "stubbie" before as well (not as in beer, as in stubbornness, though I guess it's all the same...) but yeah..
