Ever had a nickname?

[IndomitableSam]

Hammy Sammy when I was a kid. I've since told off most people who called me that. Only my mom says it now, and I usually call her something less polite in return. (Which is fine, since we're the type of family that does that.)

Otherwise, it's Sammie a lot.

My name is Ashley.

My friends call me Ash.

My friends have sucky imaginations.

They should call you an "Ashhole" or "Dat Ash".

Most of my nicknames have been about my size. My dad used to call me "Squirt" when I was a child. One my mom's friends calls me "Al" which I hate. My name doesn't get shortened, it's already conveniently shortened.

 

[Scarim Coral]

My ass of a friend decided to put an y at the end of my surname (I won't reveal it) which make it sound more like a pet (as in animal) friend. Needless to say I hated him for that.

 

[DanielBrown]

My name is Daniel, but in Sweden it automatically makes people call you "Danne". We do that with a lot of the names here.
Apart from that; yes, I've had a few nicknames. One that shouldn't be mentioned, which I later changed to Daniel Brown. The alias I use on the internet.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Depending on who it is, either Bazza or Barry (somehow).

 

[w9496]

A lot of people in my graduating class call me Will I Am, like the rapper. I don't mind it, and I've had that nickname since the 7th grade.

I don't have very many nicknames other than that. Some people call me Willie and stuff like that, but it happens very rarely.

 

[Dags90]

One that shouldn't be mentioned, which I later changed to Daniel Brown. The alias I use on the internet.

Was it Daniel Frown? Turn that frown...into brown?

 

[AppleShrapnel]

Was just Michael for years and years... wasn't until I started working an overnight shift at a Walmart just a few years ago I got my first real nickname.

Hair was down past my shoulders a bit, light goatee and, perhaps most importantly, I was very quiet. So one of the loud (but fun) associates started calling me Manson [footnote]Not after Marilyn Manson, but Charles Manson.[/footnote]. It stuck, and I wore it with an odd degree of pride... over the couple years I worked there, a few people mutated it into their own version, so I was also called Chuck every now and again.

 

[Goody]

I would like to direct you from to the left of this text (or just my user name), it is derived from surname, and avoids confusion with other people with the same first name as me.

 

[SaetonChapelle]

My name is Heather, but my boss calls me Heath. I HATE IT.

However I do have the nickname Sissy. Lots of people call me that and I often offer it up as my main name. :3

 

[Jak23]

I've always just been called Boy or Boyo, due to being the only boy among my 5 sisters.
I have 2 brothers now(thank god), but the name stuck.

 

[ccggenius12]

"That creepy dude in the bushes" is a nickname I've never really understood... But seriously, I have a long Norwegian last name, and my god... the variants... I won't go into details, but with 12 letters in the name, there are a LOT of them. I also respond to Mark, because I have a twin brother and the person calling out "Mark" actually means me ~1/2 the time... We're fraternal for craps sake.

*Dons hipster glasses.*

I was being called Ash before it was cool.

You're over 30 and still dropping /hipster? Or is Evil Dead so obscure you've never heard of it?

My ass of a friend decided to put an y at the end of my surname (I won't reveal it) which make it sound more like a pet (as in animal) friend. Needless to say I hated him for that.

Is your name Skipper? Because Mr. Skippery sounds like a great name for a pet rock.

My name is Pontus, people call me "Ponne" or "Pony"(They don't even know I watch that show.)

...?! Your name as quite some potential for nicknames... the main one that comes to mind being 'Euxeinos', that'd be rather amusing...

How can "Euxeinos" be a nickname for "Pontus"?

They are not similar in any way! And Euxeinos is longer and more complicated to say, on top of that!

A quick google search shows that Euxeinos Pontus is latin for the "Hospitable Sea", the greek nickname for the Black Sea. Dude's going biblical on you. I don't see how hospitable is in any way a decent nickname though...

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

Jesus
Moses
Zeke
Zachariah

I think I had more but that about sums it up.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yeah, I've had a few. I once earned myself the nickname "Doorman" because while on this educational camp-like thing I had the tendency to hold the doors for the entire group.

 

[Palademon]

Rubber Jonny and Ginger Pubes

Secondary school was great like that.

 

[MetalMagpie]

I was Burtle at school (a play on my surname - Burton), which gradually evolved into Turtle. At university, I was nicknamed Wench by the fencing club. (Leading to hilarious shouts of "Oi! Wench! We're leaving!" across various pubs on nights out.)

 

[THE_MUFFIN_MAN15]

My name is Chris Kowalski and people in highschool used to call me C Kow (pronounced: sea cow)

 

[Nightmare-Child]

I was called Cryptic for a while, because I speak in metaphors a lot.

 

[Ruedyn]

I'm either called Nick because my name is Nicholas or Rudy because my last name is Ruedy and I played football last year.

 

[deserteagleeye]

The Dark Knight, because my last name is Knight and that was about time the movie came out.
With my first name being Justice, I was often called the Justice League and "Just Ice".
My friends are a black hole for creativity.
