Do you have a nickname if so what and why?

Ok mines Splat lol dunno why really maybe because when i was little i fell out a tree and when i landed i went SPLAT :lol:

My mates just call me "Capz"

Dunno why :roll:

Jinks, because I was always asking for a drink.

Jingle Jangle - coz I was always asking for ice lollies when I was younger!

Rooster - I got chased my one a while ago while 'looking' at the eggs on an allotment.

Titch/Trial Size - am not the tallest person around.

Oh and Chlo

Chloé

Popeye, cos i have strong forearms due to weight lifting.
Spud when i was at school.
Cas in my teens as i was always chasing the birds.

My nicknames at the moment are strumpf and poisondwarf.I used to get Bjork,Morticia,jinkys (after scoobydoo apparently) mophead and Sophie (off bfg)due to varying haircuts.My username on another site is happybunny.

Most of the time I was just called 'Joe'....

However, for a period in my teens when I played rugby for my school house team I was called Weeble. I was no sylph, but, like the toys....

'Weebles wooble but they don't fall down' - a useful knack for a full back stopping other players!

Joe

Rant.. Rant n' Rave - when I'm playing cricket (some sort of convoluted rhyming slang for Dave... where also Dogs Nob = Bob, Snap n' Snarl = Karl, Spew & heave = Steve etc)

Wavey (Davey) - What my Mom calls me but, less embarassing, one of Bob Mortimers Big Night Out characters LOL

Beast, as still known as such to family and old friends. Its a bit hard to introduce myself as Beast, without looking a complete wally, so I suppose you just had to have been there way back when.

I've never really had a nickname... :(

I've always been called legs. Something to do with me being rather tall and having long legs ;)

My nickname was Sidla :D

My nickname is Buffy.

My nick name is hayle = hayley
and fuz buz due to my hair going fuzzy when wet!!!!

My nickname is "THE DON" but to be honest i dont really deserve it at the moment as ive not been out on the town much recently.

I don't know why buteveryone calls me Wilf, even though it isn't a usual nickname to coem from my name, William.

Then again i'm also called Wilheim by a select few, Flib by a few more and Prometheus when they feel bored, i still don't know why.

Wilf

Dont forget you are also called "Wif" by a select one :lol:

You inability? :lol: Ironic? ;)

and yes, certainly the J'James!

mitch, god I hated that nickname

No, none really - just Alex - and Twiglet by a select small few.

Alex

Jez is the common one for me, I get called Jazz by one of the lads at work and Jezzy Bezzy by a few of my closest friends.

Known as Bookey... :D
In work known as Mr Blackberry... :rolleyes:

Sadz, been called it for years cos I never used to smile.. Then I discovered alcohol.. Havent been able to stop smiling since..

DeeJ (< nickname too I guess :? )

Mophead. Thats mine. My mum always threatens to shove a broomhandle up my butt and use my dreadhead as a mop. Nice.

Mine was Hag. I think it started as an insult but it stuck and I got to like it. One or two very old friends still call me that on occasion and it always brings a smile.

well, after a certain accident where the waitress ended up having me wear Duffman's dessert the other week, i seem to have (inadvertantly) acquired the nickname "pudding".....

thanks Rich, for that one! ( ;) )

lol

As I am a Nannnan, and use a wheelchair, I have also been dubbed Wheelie-Nan/ Wheelie Nannan!

I was/ am Shel or Shelli... short for my RL name (I bet you could not possibly guess what that is, er.... duh!)

My son calls me "munchkin", or "poison-dwarf" (although the 2nd one less often, thank god!), as I am over a foot shorter than him, the lanky sod, (he's 6'4, and me, when standing, or not in my wheelchair, I'm 5'1)

PT

My nickname until a few years ago was Mart as I'm called Martin. I now get called Moo by those closest to me, but I have no idea why!!!

I've got used to it!!Good things come in small packages and all.:D

dumpling, froglet, smidge, pooklet, pookle, pooh, emkle, bean, tadpole

some ones from my sister...
emski, junior-chee (my elder sister being senior-chee)

and the usual em, emmy....

At school I was nicknamed Spaj by my friends for some peculiar reason but usually ended up being called Morticia, Adams Family. Munster or just Freak by most 'cos I was a Goth.

Now it's just my name or Mistress by a select few!!! ;)

when I was at Junior School (St Patrick's, Lane Top) it was Boffin for some reason!

mine was always mini (funnily started when we started group showering) (no i'm joking I'm hung like an ox) it has to do with my name (for you who know it) and the ablity i had for swerving round any defence on a rugby pitch (see the italian job) Some call me Min now but mainly that is my asian relatives (an eastern thing) I like it!:D

Raggy - my pre-university nickname... any friends from school or 6th form called me that... it originates from my surname :|

Sherm - what I get called by a lot of people at Uni... god knows why but apperently I look like the "Sherminator" from American Pie movies :mad: so now I'm Sherm, and have been for 2 years now
