Nicknames

[Jaranja]

I bet your slapping hand has been busy.

Oh, it has. Not quite relevant to pronunciation but people also manage to get 'Rianna', 'Eleni', 'Lania/Lanie' and 'Alanna' out of my name. -__-


OT: I am also kind of known as Lanie, though, because I have a Laney bass amp and someone in my Audio class started calling me Laney Girl.

That's not as bad as being called Rainbow Kiss Chris by the year below you.

You, my friend, have just been story-topped.

If you're wondering what a rainbow kiss is, look it up on Urban Dictionary. I'd like to add that I've never done that, I just told someone what it was to get them to leave me alone.

Yeah... I know what a rainbow kiss is... :c

Pretty embarrassing name to have for 3 years, ain't it?

 

[Shaun Hastings]

Kat.

I have no idea why. It just... stuck.

 

[Jodan]

they called me jodan. that is they call me jodan for some reason

 

[Free Thinker]

Handjob. Cause my friend was too lazy to learn how to pronounce my Eastern-European last name.
The jokes are endless...

 

[The Bum]

You see my name? theres your answer

 

[Shockolate]

All of my friends call me "Pherson" (Fer-sun) which is my last name except without the Mc (meaning my last name is McPherson)

A more insulting nickname (also from my friends) is "Patchy the Pirate", due to my Patchy hair (Trichotillomania).

 

[NotAPie]

My buddies all call me Drew, I guess I can understand it, my name is Andrew.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

My nickname is Church. It's both because Church is the last place anyone would expect to see me, and because I behave similarly to the Church of the Blue Army. Shut the fuck up Caboose!

 

[arsenicCatnip]

Mine are all so stupid now...

Chi -> short for ChiChi, which was either a reference to my boobs or to DBZ depending on who you asked.
Yuffie, Yuffers, Yuff-Yuff -> I was obsessed with Yuffie Kisaragi and FFVII in general, and NO ONE can pronounce Yuffie properly apparently.
04 (zero-four), Quatre, Q -> given this by a friend who got me into Gundam Wing. I was apparently enough like Quatre in personality that it stuck.

My current nicknames are better. Mama, Potatoes, Co, and Sweetness.

 

[Nouw]

"Noon" or "Nammy Woonster!"

 

[TehCookie]

The only nickname I ever had was cookie, because my last name is Cook.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

Frenchy.

No prizes for correctly guessing my background...

 

[Dr. Awesome Face]

My name is Christopher and from year 10 onwards I was known only as 'Doffa'.

 

[Helmet]

<----- Helmet

Two guys got concussions from headbutting me in soccer games. My friends made the obligatory, "If you join football, you won't need a helmet!" jokes. Helmet stuck.

 

[pyrosaw]

Sasquacth.I'm hairy, love beef jerky, and have big feet.AKA:The origins of why I'm such an anti social dickhead.

 

[Brad Shepard]

I'm "L" because I used to be completely obsessed with Death Note... and nobody can remember how to pronounce Liana. :<

is it pronounced Lee-anna?

OT: Zero has been my nickname sense i was young, due to the fact i got picked on a lot, but after i stoped caring, it stuck, and i like it, and to para-phrase Persona.

"The number zero, empty, yet full of possibility."
