There were a couple of offensive versions of my name which at least one person on this forum has worked out...:)

However, most people called me Joe or Weeble. The latter came from my rugby playing days. I was slightly rotund and hard to push over in the tackle, so I was called Weeble....

'cos I wobbled but I didn't fall down.

Joe

I always got called Boris.

Boris Becker - Becca.
Not very clever and very annoying when shouted to attract my attention in public!

Captain was mine - how original for someone called Kirk.

It's funny how everyone (even to this day) who calls me Captain or Captain Kirk thinks it must be the first time I've heard it and should laugh with them. :roll:

PENGIUN...

Reason being because i wore my sisters size 5 shoes to school when i'm only a 4... :?

I knew the shoes were going to be too big for me so i stuffed the toes full of tissue making them a snug fit or so i thought... That was until i started to walk to school in them... an someone from behind me decideds to shout out pengiun lol I was waddling along like a pengiun... walking flat footed basically :lol: I had no time either to go back and change :( so i was the waddling pengiun for the day... But the name seemed to stick Tut.... :)

I think pengiuns are cute so i didnt mind o much... :razz:

My mate in Wakefield used to call me Gibbon Head pmsl no reasoning why... well i hope there wasnt... hmmmm :? We still laugh and joke about that one now... Might have to ask her why 'Gibbon Head' makes i chuckle :lol:

There are many others but there remaining top secret ;) so ner... :razz: lol

Jecca/Jekjek

My next door neighbour couldn't say Jessica when he was little so he used to call me Jecca. My friend's at school found out and a couple of them still call it me.

My other mate calls me J though, what a lazy git. Can't even be bothered to say Jess *rollseyes*

Jessycar came from another friend as well. She called her car Jessycar after me :lol:

I've been called at school:
Sarah silly sausage - don't know why,someone liked alliteration?
Sophie - from BFG,apparently i looked like her
Mophead - i had a perm
Jinkys - from Scoobydoo,i also looked like Velma
Fairy - i always wanted to be one - it stuck for 8 years.

I've been called at previous jobs:
Sazzle - my boss fancied me - his pet name for me
Little Sarah - i'm petite
The virgin - my first ever job and the people there were all proud to be slappers,this was the first question they asked me!

I am now called:
Bjork - i look like her - does anyone see a pattern?
Strumpf - Pidgin French for smurf - i have no idea!

At school it was Oliver Twist (maiden name being Oliver :rolleyes: ) or Mavis (Cruet) fat fairy in children's prog Willo the Wisp.

At university it was Catfish (there is a story behind that but I'm not telling it here).

My sister has several nicknames for me (most of which are far too offensive to put up on here) I think Stan is the only polite one she calls me (got that after the reporter with local paper got my name wrong :frown: )

Current ones are "Prawn" & "Eclair". Have two fab forum friends to thank for those :P

04-11-2004, 18:23
Here's a good one..... Dukka!. I was called this after a hindu god but i got left with it because my arse sticks out :hihi:
Now people call me Vidster or Bert.

My nickname was elephantcock and i never found out why I was always with the nurse after fainting through lack of blood to my head. If anyone remembers me from school may be they could explain why the kids called me this?? Oh I was the kid who wore three shoes in case you were wondering.

Elephantcock

When I was little my nick name was mamfi as my brother couldn't say Samantha.

At senior school it was usually Freak, Morticia or Mrs Adams as I was a goth.

For some strange reason, close friends then started calling me Spaj, but I still have no understanding why!!!!

Don't seem to have a nickname these days :cry:

We just seemed to all call each other by our second names. There's lads now I bump into and wouldn't know their first names!

Just found this old thread - I like it Bert! :)
I always got 'Ryan, Ryan, red hot iron' (guess the surname!)
Not very inventive - although I did have red hair at the time! Can anyone suggest anything a bit more original?

Lofty (and I hated it, it was actually a teacher that started it off as well!) - at middle school, cause I was taller than the rest of the girls. Luckily they all more or less caught up and nick name disappeared.

squidge00
07-04-2007, 19:42
My nickname was squidge - although i wasn't particularly squidgy at the time! My other nickname was squealer because i used to be very excitable and make high pitched noises when in such a state

Captain was mine - how original for someone called Kirk.

For some bizarre reason I used to get called "big nose", I'm sorry but WTF?! OK I take after my Dad for having a slightly bigger nose than normal but couldn't they think of something better?! :loopy:

I can't even mention some of the worse stuff I've been called over the years relating to me being deaf... :rant:
