Weird nick-names

[banquo's_bumble_puppy]

Anyone know a kid named "Stinky" while growing up? I knew of a guy called "Luggs" because he had big ears. Also, my Dad used to talk about a guy named "Sucky", (no lie)....

[mickal555]

I know of a guy whos last name is head and his first name is richard whats short for richard 8-[ :oops:

[Candy]

I met a man named Frank Stein.

I often wondered if his middle initial was N. :o

Everyone thinks my name is a nickname. :evil:

[mickal555]

'Nasty' was the baker at Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel a few years back. A totally mysterious guy who had an extremely clean-cut appearance, but was somehow Clint Eastwood-like enough that nobody ever asked him how he came by the name.

[paulie jay]

I went to school with a guy by the name of Dwayne Pipe. How could parents be so cruel...?

[AliCali]

Well, my full name is Ali Allison. My sisters keep asking why in the world you would give a first name of "Ali" when the last name is Allison.

I play hockey, and it's common for hockey players to use nicknames, particularly ones that end in "er" or "y" (Luc is called Lucky, Deadmarsh is called Deader, etc.) People see my jersey with "Allison" on the back, and they think "Ali" is just a nickname. After a few years of playing with someone, he finally asked in the locker room, "Ali, what's your real name?" I've even had to show my driver's license to people who didn't believe that's my name.

For real nicknames, my wife calls me Sweaty-Pie. Note that I didn't misspell that. It's not Sweety-Pie, but rather Sweaty-Pie, as if a pie worked out for an hour and was all sweaty. Here's how it came about:

One of my former supervisors has a son whom she calls Sweety-Pie. One night after working late, she came home and saw a note from her son: "Mommy, daddy wants you to look at my spelling homework. Your Sweaty-Pie, Martin. P.S. Kiss me when you get home."

My supervisor loved that note, especially where he asked for help on spelling homework, then immediately misspelled "Sweety". So she took the note to work and pinned it up in her office. My (now) wife saw that note and thought "Sweaty-Pie" sounded great. So she's called me that ever since. She never calls me Ali, just Sweaty or Sweaty-Pie.

I used to call my wife "Baby-Doll". It's nice, and I remember it being in a song. However, my wife speaks German, and Baby-Doll translated in German is "Baby-Puppe", pronounced "POOP-uh". So that's her nickname, Baby-Puppe. Many times, I just call her Puppe. I get weird looks from people when they overhear me calling her.

[Edited for spelling]

Actually, my brother-in-law works with a guy whose nickname is Stinky. Don't remember how he got it, but its the only way I hear him referenced in conversation.

[sarongsong]

I hereby move 'Puppe' and 'Sweaty-Pie' be considered for the Grand Prize of Couple's Nicknames! =D>

[crateris]

Knew a guy nicked "pinwhacker". The nick comes from lumberman's lingo.

[jrkeller]

I've had a few nick names over the years.

People used to call me killer-keller.
In high school they used to call me Ace, after Ace Frehley of KISS. I was a very big fan of KISS and Ace.
In college, I picked up the name J-K Flip-Flop from my electrical engineering buddies. It is some sort of computer chip. I was decades ahead of another JK (John Kerry) Flip-Flop :lol: :lol:

In high school, the leader of our drum section was nick named Animal after the muppets character. She was the complete opposite of the character; smart, pretty and a good command of the language. Ended up being a doctor.

I had a roommate named, Kitten. Her mother thought it was cute. Once she got to be a teenager, she hated it.

I've got better ...

My Ex's parent named her Cassandra Dee, read: Ca-Sandra Dee, too many John Travolta Movies, I guess.

Worse though, is she over heard My Mother calling me Puppy-Kins, which thanks to an Episode of Family Guy, got Morphed into Puddles.

So, that would be Sandra Dee and Puddles, and People wonder why we keep Breaking Up ...

[Ut]

Ahh, someone -- not naming any names here -- went through a phase after we all moved into the apartment where he tried to give everyone nicknames.

None of them stuck.

We call Dan Uno, because his last name is Uno, and it's what people call him. We call Trevor Trev, because we're lazy. Everyone calls me Chris, because I threaten to throw things at them if they attempt anything else. We call Rob things that'd get me banned, because we don't like him anymore ;)

A friend of mine went through a phase where he tried to get everyone to call him Ghengis. His internet alias was Ghengis Khan III. It was all horribly lame, and we mock him for it, now.

[jrkeller]

A friend of mine from college had the initials KKK. She was born in Taiwan. What's funny is that after she got married her initials stayed the same.

[ZaphodBeeblebrox]

Worse ...

None of my Friends ever call me by My First Name.

It's always either My Last Name, or The Jew, Much Fun, that.

And then, there's this One Girl, at work, who calls me Captain Cupcake, 'cause I told her, I was a Little Bi.

[Ut]

Worse ...

None of my Friends ever call me by My First Name.

Yeah, Uno hates it, too. He made the mistake of correcting us when we first met him.

It's always either My Last Name, or The Jew, Much Fun, that.

Yeah, we call a friend of mine "the Jew", or just "Jew". Sometimes "Jewsus". Mostly, we just call her "Leah", though, because then she doesn't punch us.

And then, there's this One Girl, at work, who calls me Captain Cupcake, 'cause I told her, I was a Little Bi.

Could be worse. She could be calling you Treasurer Donut ;)
Corpral Cresandwich.
Pretty in Pink.

Ok, I'm getting way off base here. I won't harm your flaky crust, though :D

(Oh man, I know there's a good number of you who understand... I hope you're one, Zap ;))

I call a friend of mine Cupcake, because she's one of those people that goes "Awww, Muffin...". I call her every other foodstuff I can think of, too, but I always come back to Cupcake.

[iFire]

Theres a kid in my class we call Chippy. (For chipmunk) He actually goes by it too.

[ZaphodBeeblebrox]

Don't worry Ut, I understand ...

Being called Gay Nick Names doesn't bother me, 'cause there's not much Truth There ...

The Jewish ones do a little, mostly when they start asking me where I was, on Passover 32 C.E., and what I was doing, with Those Nails ...

Hey, it's not My Fault I Sweat, a lot, and Have a Penchant for Refried Beans ...

[NASA Fan]

I do not really have any nicknames--because my name is unusual (a normal Danish name, but unusual by US standards) I normally tell people that they can either call me (one pronounciation--or another) or "hey you."

The point of all this babling, is that I guess that you could claim that my nick name is "hey you."

I had a Japanese student come over for a student exchange, his name was youhey :o (seriously)

[jrkeller]

In college, we had these three computers geeks that lived down the hall, who we called the "Stanks" They took a shower maybe one a month. Always wore baseballs caps over their greasy hair.

Ex-wife's college nick name was Trash, a variation ot Trish.

[John Jones]

I have a friend named josephina Her nickname is Jo Jo. She married a man name william Joe, whose nickname is Joe.

I'm not making this up: They are known as Joe Joe and Jo Jo Joe.

[Andromeda321]

I have a friend whose last name is Owl and his parents couldn't help but name him Forrest... #-o
Seriously, it makes you wonder just what kind of parents they are doesn't it?

[electromagneticpulse]

I knew a guy nicknamed fairy but he wasn't actually bi or gay in anyway he was just extremely camp, more so then another friend who is gay (who's nicknamed butch).

I also know a guy named Mo Jo Jo Jo after the evil monkey in the powerpuff girls. I never got a nickname unless smart arse is one :-?

[AliCali]

I knew a guy nicknamed fairy...

You reminded me:

I have two sisters named Shahrzad and Fariba. When they moved to the US about forty years ago, the parents wanted to Americanize their names. So Shahrzad became Sherry, and Fariba was going to be named Fairy, so they'd be Sherry and Fairy. Luckily, they asked for advice, and decided to leave Fariba's name alone.

My nickname in college was Vlad.

Many companies assign e-mail addresses to employees by taking first six letters of the last name and adding first and middle initials. Sometimes this leads to hilarious results. The worst example I heard of was a woman named Barbara Jean Beeranger who worked at MyPlace.com website. Her e-mail wound up beeranbj@myplace.com

In general, I think any parents who give a girl a name which abbreviates to BJ (or even worse but much less common, VD) should be publicly whipped.

I'm here.

It's true. People in the US sometimes use the word Peter to to refer to ...uh... well, to Mr Johnson (another Yank euphemism I hope needs no translation).

What do I have to do to prove it? Channel up some zetatalk? :D

[Candy]

Thank you! :P

[pghnative]

I've heard of this too

and no, I'm not just saying this to get in on some sort of four-way conspiracy :D :D :D :D

[Lurker]

Well (if I may hijack this thread back to its stated topic) my nickname is mongoo...

Its short for mongoose, a nickname a friend gave for the mongoose in Riki Tiki Tavi because he was noble and loyal, true blue... [-(

[TimH]

Slightly off topic because these unfortunately aren't nickname but were actually given to poor children by parents who apparently never heard of the 8th amendment to the US Constitution (barring cruel punishment)

2 Major League baseball players can easily make this list
Coco Crisp (a popular breakfast cereal for those 'across the pond')
Milton Bradley (the makers of such popular games as Monopoly and Connect 4)

...and (I swear I am not making this up) I went to high school with someone named Scott S. Scott. Whenever we asked what the S stood for he would get a bit annoyed and change the subject.

coco crisp's first name isn't coco. You can blame his grandmother for his being called that.

[TimH]

His name was a bit of a sore spot (the years of teasing maybe?) so a girlfriend probably left that alone... unless he did something to incur her wrath and the the 'hell hath no fury' thing popped up

Speaking of which, I know someone whose initials are CCC, and she signs official documents with C^3 (closest approximation to C cubed I can get with plain text.)

My dentist in Lafayette, Indiana, was Dr. Challgren (pronounced Shall Grin).

I asked him one day if anyone ever made fun of his name?
He said, no, it's Scandinavian. :-?

He totally had no idea of what I was asking. :D
