Weirdest Childhood Nicknames

[Dora]

So, when I was growing up, my folks had two names for me.

Punk, and Turd.

Is this abuse? I've always thought my mommie loved me.

What were you called?

1. Tu Tu or TommyTerror lol

[hippiechick]

2. Pooh, Pizza and my brother called me Porky Doodle

I was a lil' chubby.

BTW, he's a fat, balding Repug now.


:hippie:

3. my poor daughter

her brothers named her peewee. she's 17 and still responds.

[Newsman Matt Drudge]

4. Mr. and Mrs. Drudge had a fun name for me

They would usually take a deep sigh, and look at me, then kind of off in the distance and say "Christ" kind of quietly. I thought, wow, that really says something that they both think so highly of me, that they'd compare me to the Savior.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

8. LMAO !

[Dora]

10. Perhaps you should run for office!

[Richardo]

13. Newsman Matt Drudge! Finally recover from the 11/2 amyl nitrate binge?

:D

[Newsman Matt Drudge]

19. There was some ugliness

It involved a wax museum in Gettysburg, PA, a notepad once used by President Ford, and a pack of Salems. I'm not really at liberty to go into further details.

5. Weed ... and not for the reason you think.

My name is Rosemary and my friends said I was no Rose but, a weed!

:cry:

[skygazer]

6. Oh, dear, confession time

I was called "Slave" by my entire family as a kid. I was the youngest and my older sister once tried to make my brother be her slave which he very logically protested. But since no one ever played with me, I volunteered since it was at least some form of attention.

I was "Slave" until I was in my teens and even now (at 43), some of my siblings occasionally slip and call me that. :shrug:

[Dora]

7. My brother had it worse than me

My folks called him "Diane" or "Diogenes."

In retrospect, I can see my family had a pretty twisted sense of humor.

9. Cheechy bean, dad still refers to me this way....

[the Princess]

11. OK I have only ever revealed this nickname to my husband

But here goes:

My sister was Bucky Beaver

and I was (OH Lord)

Thumper.

*covering my ears* Lalalalalalalala

[arwalden]

12. Loretta

[Richardo]

15. "Sweet Loretta Fat she thought she was a cleaner, but she was a frying pan

Thank you John Lennon.

[CO Liberal]

34. Did That Have Anything to Do With Making Grand Entrances, Allen????

:-)

14. My grandfather used to add "W" to his grandkids' names.

I was "Daley-Waley"...my sister, Colleen, was "Leeny-Weeny".

My cousins were "Lissy-Wissy" "Shelley-Welley" "Jasey-Wasey" "Jessie-Wessie" "Chrissy-Wissy" "Cody-Wody" and "Glenny-Wenny".

:puke:

Only my cousin Wayne got off the hook..."Wayney-Wayney" just sounded stupid, I guess. :shrug:

[no name no slogan]

16. Skidder was a friend of mine

In my school, all the sixth-graders went on a weeklong overnight trip to a conservation camp.

My friend Scott's mom packed some of his old underwear-- the ones with the 'marks' on them. One of Scott's roommates saw these, and all five of his roomies piled on top of him and held him down on the floor. And, like the pre-teen boys they were, the wiped the underwear on Scott's face.

From that day forward, Scott became 'Skidder'. This nickname followed him from 6th grade on through junior high and high school. It got to be so common that most folk didn't know his real name was Scott-- nor did they know the origin of the nickname, either.

I don't keep up with Skidder, but I bet there's still people that call him that to this day, 24 years later.

17. Ouie

Our son is nicknamed, "Ouie".

It's a laugh to answer the phone and here, "May I please speak to Ouie?"

[Danmel]

18. I had cute nicknames

My Mom called me "Cookie" and my Dad still calls me "Ketzele" with is Yiddish for kitten. (sort of, it really means little cat).

My brother on the other had had an ssortment of weird nicknames for me.

My husband calls me PIM, which stands for person in miniature becuase ona good day I'm barely five feet tall.

[zbdent]

20. Jesus Christ

and my brother Russell was Dammit.

No, wait, that wasn't me . . .

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. I have an aunt that I call Boo

Don't know how that started but she's always been Boo for as long as I can remember. I think my uncle started it but I made it popular!

[RetroLounge]

22. My Friends in the early 70's called me "Nowhere Man"

for many reasons...

[TlalocW]

23. Bat-Muscles

When I was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s, I was Batman crazy. My mom got me a t-shirt with Batman on it and "Bat-Muscles" on the back. The older kids in the neighborhood would tease me by calling me "Aqua-Muscles."

Other nicknames in my family:
Dad was called "Shorty," although I don't know why. He was of average height.
My second oldest niece who is in her early 20s has been "Demon Child" since she was three.
I call my third oldest niece, "Skids," because she recently did that in quite a dramatic way in her car recently.

24. Panda Face

Notice the resemblance. :eyes:

[realisticphish]

25. i had a beard, and several immature friends

so my nickname was "vagina-face". of course, since i punched them every time they said that, it didnt last all that long

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Dora]

27. Was it really?

Or was it something more slangular? My husband knew a Pussy Face in high school.

Sorry about the crassness everyone. My inner sailor speaks.

[realisticphish]

29. no, no

it was just that, vagina-face. they already had an obsession with saying "vagina" at every opportunity, so it kind of followed from that


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Minstrel Boy]

26. Feedge

I...it's...you see...

nevermind.

[Modem Butterfly]

28. Josephinee with the Broken Weenie

I can't believe I'm telling you this...

I'm not sure where the Josephinee comes from - my name isn't Josephine or anything even close to Josephine. But the rest of it comes from a bathing incident with my brother. Mom decided that it was more convenient to bathe us together when I was two and he was four. Apparently, I tried to touch his wing-wang and he said, "No, you already broke yours off,"

I wish there was a smilie for blushing...

[Dora]

33. That's the funniest freakin' thing I've heard today!

Oh my goodness. YOU WIN!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!

[DrZeeLit]

30. We called my brother "Booger"... and now... he's a multi-millionaire.

Go figure.

My nickname: Brit.
It was short for "Encyclopedia Brittanica." Yeah, I took it heavy because I was smart.

Years later, I had a major conversation with my sister, who was still mad at me because I was smart. She thought I was "doing it on purpose." Helloooo. It wasn't too hard to be smarter than my siblings.

Except... BOOGER...is now super rich and can laugh all the way to the bank. And nobody calls him that any more.

Life is interesting, huh?

[Kire]

31. I tried to get everybody to sign my fifth grade yearbook "to Slime"

I had great self esteem, then.

[Left Is Write]

32. What was I called?

My parents, wacky jokemeisters that they are, called me Cathy.

[CornField]

35. Geega is what many call me now, but the one I hated was

Tooter. As it turns out, I had quite a flatulance problem as a baby and toddler... not to mention my father had a very sick sense of humor.

Oh, Geega because a nephew couldn't say my name correctly and it came out "geega"... it stuck.

[sendero]

36. For reasons I'll never know....

... I was called "B-bottom" when I was a youngster. I get the "B" because my name is Billy - but the "bottom" escapes me :)

[FreedomFry]

37. I was BJ. Loved it as a little kid, but later ....

some kid in the 6th grade told me what it meant, and I was so embarrassed.

Some time in toddlerhood, my mother shortened my nickname to "Beej." Years later, when I was watching the TV show "M*A*S*H," I heard Hawkeye call B.J. Hunnicutt "Beej," and I nearly fell over. Ever since, I got over my embarrassment and now actually like it when relatives call me BJ.

[AlFrankenFan]

38. From my "friends": Salmon and Dixie...from my parents....Kiddo

I'm still called Dixie. :shrug:

Salmon came from the idea that my name Samantha sounds like it. :eyes:
