Nicknames...

[Heart of Darkness]

I had one person call me Homer due to the Simpsons T-shirt I wore to school that day. That name stuck with her.

Other than that, I never really earned a nickname. All of mine are abbreviations/anagrams of my full name/nicknames. Alex, Axel, Big Al...

 

[Berethond]

Ray. As in Ray Charles. Apparently I look blind when I play piano.
Blondie. (Wooooooo way to go, Captain Obvious.)

(Professor) Oak.
Leftie.

Hulk/Berserker - I get really angry.
Code Man - use to carry around an old, broken walkie-talkie/radio when I was 3-5
Red Beard - have brown hair but my beard grew in red
Irish - Irish heritage

I hate these ones:
Coco/Codette - my sisters call me this cause of my name, Cody

I shall call you Codpiece forever.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I'm not joking when I say this. Among my friends in the last place I lived (most of them, anyway), my nickname was "God." Of course, they referred to me by this nickname jokingly. I think it got started because I liked to draw comic strips with Jesus either providing commentary on various aspects of life or fighting people like Chuck Norris and Goku. In addition to that, they slowly found out that I was very intelligent and collected, which helped to earn me that nickname.

Funny story. We had a huge party after our graduation in which we brought a bunch of TVs and 360s to play Halo 3, in addition to a few other games. My copy was in a 360 positioned upright. While someone was playing that copy, the 360 got knocked down and a very loud grinding noise was heard throughout the room. We checked to see if the disc worked, which past experience suggested it most certainly wouldn't, but it seemed to work. A couple of them said, "Well, what do you expect? It's God's copy."

I thought it was fairly amusing.

 

[super_mumbles]

Mine are just shortened versions of my first and last names, so Dan (what I'm often called by) and Botch (Used for a few years and now defunct).

The Botch nickname caused people to laugh when reading Macbeth as the teacher read the line:

"There must be no botches in the plan" which caused someone to shout out "But we like Botch!"

 

[mikecoulter]

My dad calls me "Boy Blunder". I'm not entirely sure what to think of it... He says it nicely at least.

[Raven's Nest]

[kduff51]

i have gotten a whole boatload of nicknames for many reasons
my last name is Duffy and there are a lot from that like Duffman, Duffle-bag,duffalufagous,etc
also random ones like otto, big boi, magic wooster, kallah, gruntilda, duffapotamus, kitch stew,
I will actually respond to each of these and there are more.
Its to the point where calling me by my first name is weird to me

 

[Tharwen]

I'm Nicholas but it's just easier and shorter to say Nick.
Not much of a nickname I know...

Same here

 

[Desert Tiger]

Woodstock, Moony, Dannywood, Stevo and Dave.

...My name isn't even Steven or David.

 

[MrTub]

I got the nickname Oscar 2 or just 2 -.- and non of my teachers says oscar they just says my last name and Im the only oscar in my class

 

[Pingieking]

Ping. I have a friend named Pong. We're from Taiwan, so you can imagine what happens with this situation. We both hate the sport.
I go by Ping Lee, and another Asian guy in school goes by Ting Li. A lot of people thought that we were related.
I once got a used set of golf clubs from a neighbor as a birthday present. He said it was part of my family.

 

[TheZapper]

Never actually had a nickname that stuck, although people tend to call me by my last name when they are angry with me. There was also that period where I was known as the wolfman due to my incredibly hairy arms and legs.

 

[OnyxLion]

Scooby
Scoobz

The reason for these are when someone used to say something which i didnt understand or would puzzled me i'd make the noise scooby doo would and one chick i knew would call me scooby and it just stuck...

 

[IrishBerserker]

I shall call you Codpiece forever.

If I didn't find that so funny, I'd be pissed.

 

[Berethond]

I shall call you Codpiece forever.

If I didn't find that so funny, I'd be pissed.

Good, because that took a lot of thought actually it took like five seconds. And love. Actually that's not quite true either.

 

[xxmastermillerxx]

Batman because I'm like a really strong nerd.

 

[Killer Rabbit]

Tapeworm. I like to ruffle thorough the pantry for snacks

 

[Captain Wes]

Thats a bit extreme, is your full name Michael?

No, its Garfield.

Yes, it is. And he deserved it, he kept calling me that, Michelle, Mikey, and several other things despite me asking him not to. Also, he was doing it to pick on me.

Finally another Michael that understands

 

[Ophiuchus]

One of my teachers in high school always referred to me as Brains, a sarcastic and everlasting comment on my one moment of utter stupidity in which I managed to wreck the school's entire IT system (which, bearing in mind this was 1995, wasn't exactly huge or complex, just two rooms of Compaqs running Windows 3.1) by messing around with the server out of boredom.

More recently I picked up the nickname Diet Coke Boy, since most people around university didn't know my name because I rarely turned up, and I was always drinking Diet Coke on the rare occasions that I did bother going to class.
