What was your least favorite Nickname
Edited on Wed Oct-26-05 12:01 PM by new_beawr
I don't mean what the bullies may have called you in third grade, but a nickname your friends gave you that you, nevertheless, didn't like.

In High School, mine was "Pillsbury" because I had a sizable gut and my Mom bleached the hell out of my practice football uniform, so I was gleaming white....

1. My name rhymes with a lot of things
including kissy, prissy, pissy, and missy, so I never really lucked out in the nickname department. :P

3. My brother gave me a name when I was 2 years old.
It stuck. 30 years later this is what my family and long time friends still call me. I used my real name for school and work and legal things, but I introduced myself as "nickname" until I was about 19.

There are 2 famous song that has my nickname in it and I have heard them 10 brazillion times each.

I like when I see people whos' real name is my nickname, and the variations of the way they spell it.

Having a nickname was helpful in a way because I was named after my mom and it gave me a little individuality.

9. Anything that was derogatory towards...
...red hair and the name Jill. I've heard every version of "Jack and Jill" that I care to know. Plus, my German last name didn't help either...

12. The great white hopeless - old golden gloves moniker
Just because you loose thirteen fights and get beatten up by a ring girl doesn't make one hopeless :D JK

14. Well... it wasn't a nickname for "me" specifically...
... This one kid (not exactly my friend, but friend of a (now former) friend so I was stuck with him) nicknamed by breasts "Droopy" and "Snoopy" because he was appariently used to gravity defying porn stars x(
