Embarrassing nicknames
 

lol...

my parents didn't know if i was a boy or girl until i was born, so as a "placeholder" for my real name (Jennifer) they called me "barney eggbert." It even said "Happy Birthday Barney" or something to that affect on my mom's baby shower cake. thank GOD i was a girl.

my parents and sister, for some reason that i still do not know, called me "the boob." they would say "here comes the boob." i absoutly hated it, and i can remember being 4 and crying to my mom and dad, so they stoped.

My fraternity bro's call me low-low, because I don't like paying full price for things that I can got for less (clothes, food). If said any other time, it makes me sound cheap.

They also call me Notorious, like the rapper. It got started because I had a big rep on campus, and I guess i'm kinda popular. It gets annoying because Notorious B.I.G is:
1) Huge
2) Unattratctive
3) Dead

These are not things that I attribute to myself.

Oh my family has million nicknames for me !
My whole family used to call me Jilly Bean, which then morphed into Bean, Beanie Weenie, etc. I spent years telling them to quit it.
They also used to call me JJ because my middle name also starts with a J and apparently when I was like 2, someone called me that and I popped major 2 year old attitude and informed them that was not my name. So of course they insisted on calling me that for years to come.
My mom ALWAYS calls me Mimi or sometimes Missy, which is really odd because these are in no way logical nicknames of my real name. I've asked her why but she always says she doesn't know, she just started calling me that and it stuck

I was really skinny when I was growing up. This kid I grew up with used to call me Skeletor. I hated him so much for it. The weirdest thing is that now we are best friends and we talk all the time. Of course, I always remind him of the nickname that he had given me when we were younger.

My dad's side of the family called me Cyclone for years because one night when I was two years old I got out of hand at my grandma's house and tore down three sets of curtains before they caught me. My grandpa came home and said, "It looks like a cyclone hit this place!"

When I pledged, older guys called me Auschwitz. They said I was so skinny I looked like I just broke out of a concentration camp. I absolutely hated when they called me that in public.

All my really good friends from HS call me either G-off, or Geo b/c I spell my name G-E-O-F-F instead of Jeff. Most of my fraternity brothers call me that now too.

On my High school soccer team, some of the guys called me Jiz-off as a spin off of "G-off." That was shortened to just Jiz. I hated that name, but all those guys were pricks so it was easy to blow off.

That's so funny! I have a friend from college and to this day I call him G-off. His other nickname, given to him by the guys on his floor, was "Lopey the Dwarf, Hymen is a Verb." Talk about awful!

I never had a nickname, but many people I knew in college did. Some of them were:

Ronald McDonald with breasts (and I always messed it up and ended up calling her "Papa Smurf with breasts")

Shithead

Huge Pants Paul (because my friend and I mail ordered the most gigantic pair of pants to this guy and he showed up to her room *wearing* them)

Then there were three guys named Nate, so to tell them apart they were:

MasterNate
AlterNate and
ImpregNate

I know there more, but I can't remember them. I drank *a lot* in those days.

One Thanksgiving the family was giving my newest little sister the nickname cuttie pie...and the other little sister sweetie pie...
Sweetie Pie says to my aunt but what pie is left for Michelle?
Pumpkin Pie.

and it stuck.

Hahahaha, I am sorry, but that is the funniest thing I have heard today. I can imagine hating that name lol, I'd be pissed if people called me that.
I have a couple of nicknames in my family. From my mom I got Nini (I don't have any idea?!?!?!) My brother still calls me B...b/c when I was born, he wasn't old enough to say my name right or even baby, so he just called me B, for baby. :rolleyes: I despise that name!!! My daddy calls me his "Sweetness and light" I don't know where he got that or why he calls me that, but oh well. :)

Some of my nicknames at school include KiKi (this one I like though!), Kir (like this too), Crayon, Crayola, Keeran, and Keeron. A lot of people actually think my name, Kiran, is pronounced Keeran....c'mon now, who's parents are really that mean?!?! Yuck, needless to say I don't like most of the nicknames I have!

deleted

My mom would call me her "love bug". I don't know why!
My grandma still calls me Amy Myshelf because when I was little I couldn't pronounce my middle name (Michelle) and so hense MYSHELF was how I said it.

My brother's name is Ben so I'd call him Benji (remember the dog) or Bungerman. My sister's name is Jessica and my grandma would call her "her little hootinany" (whatever that is). LOL

I was supposed to be a boy and my middle name was going to be George, so until they figured out a name for me, I was Pink George, and later, my nickname from my father was Chickadee....not really sure why. Better than my sister's, though....she got Poopsie. Again, not sure why. Sometimes it's better not to ask.....
In Public School, my best friend was a guy, so they called us Pebbles and Bam Bam.
In rez, I was Flute Girl (because I played flute....I got teased a lot with this nickname....) and Cheerleader. My floor wasn't the most creative.
Now it's mostly Linds or Lyn, and nothing else has really caught on, although I'm Cordelia to my sisters so one of them occaisionally calls me Cordy.

Ick..back in high school my nickname in one of my cliques was 'Krack"....don't ask..and no..it's not what you think.. :)

My dad always called me 'Big K' as a kid..yes..I was chunky.. :mad:

The sisters always called me 'Turkey'..I still have no idea why.. :confused:

Oh..can't forget this one.."Stripes"...it's from when I painted my trumpet blue and white stripes w/nail polish on it...yeah..little kids that remember my antics and football games still come up to me and ask if I was the one w/the blue trumpet..hehe

My grade 8 teacher used to call me Hemlock because apparently is sounds like Emily. Hemlock is a poisionous plant. I was in an extended French class which means that most of my classes were taught in french, so when we were speaking french (or supposed to be) I was called Cygue (which the the french word for Hemlock). The whole class would call me this...all from a teacher...but he nick names for almost everyone is the class.

in junior high one of my best friends gave me the nickname ding-dong-doyley and it stuck with me through high school. to this day i can be shopping or something and i will turn around because someone will be yelling ding-dong-doyley at me.

Strange nickname
 

The worst nickname that I got was

MYRTLE.

I have NO idea how it came about. :confused: Totally random. Not even close to my name.

AOIISilver

Grace
Amy Lou
Lula Belle
Gumby
Bologna

Turtle :( (slowest runner in class)
Jumping beans :rolleyes: (i'm always moving)

I got my nickname "Kitso" the first day of freshman football in high school. My full last name was too long to put on the front of our helmets with tape, and was too difficult for the coaches to pronounce, so by the end of practice i was Kitso.

When i came to A&M and joined the Corps of Cadets, the same thing happened, especially since we as 'fish' couldn't have first names. My buddies got sick of callin me by my last name and shortened it to Kitso again. When my dad heard one of my buddies call me Kitso one time, he laughed and told me that his buddies called him the same thing back in the day.

I later found out that after i graduated, Kitso was passed on to my little sister, only with a "Little" in front of it. She HATES it :D.

My family nickname is Little John, because i have the same first name as my dad. He's Big John, and i'm little John, even though now i'm taller and bigger than he is.

Kitso
KS 361 times i have to stop from introducing myself to girls as Kitso

I'm the youngest and only girl of 4. My dad wasn't quite sure how to react to a girl and started calling me Ralph as an infant. My mom had to come to my preschool class b/c I wouldn't respond to Nikki and told my teacher to call me Ralph. Friends of my parents STILL call me that, even though my dad quit doing it years ago (I'm now Bear b/c I'm so NOT a morning person).

Other stupid family nicknames: Bug (short for ladybug) and Bocker (like as in knickerbocker). I was also Little Harter, or Little _______ (insert one of my brother's first names).

People at school call me Frito. I can't tell you why. It just pisses me off.

The sisters call me Rosarita after Rosarita Refried Beans. I had a bad relationship with Mexican food on our Big Island Trip a few months ago. :eek:

John Holmes.

-Rudey
--Ladies, stop! I'm not a piece of meat!!!

My nickname is Ralph(ie).

When I was a toddler, I was obssessed with The Muppets. I loved all of them, but Rowlf was my favorite by far. I would sit at our piano and try to play like him. It didn't work, but I did annoy my parents :) It was easier to say Ralph, though, than Rowlf, so my family started calling me Ralph.

The nickname probably would have died, had it not been for the movie A Christmas Story with the younger brother named Ralphie. My sister and I loved this movie. She was convinced that I was just like Ralphie in the movie, so it lived on.

Thankfully, my parents only use this when they are feeling nostalgic, so it stays hidden in the closet most of the time with the rest of the skeletons.

Well, I was trying to help a friend feel better when his neck was hurting, so instead of a massage, which would have been easier and safer, I decided to heat a towel. My dad had done this before for me, so I knew it would work and would feel really good. I wasn't sure how long to leave it in the microwave, so I figured 2 minutes would be long enough. I went to get it out, and it was BLACK and SMOKING. Nothing was orange, so I figured it wasn't on fire, but since it smelled REALLY bad, I decided to get it out of the building. We were at the BSU at our campus. I threw it in the trash can outside. about 20 minutes later, my roommate came in and said, "Hey Crystal, the trash can is on fire!":eek: The parking lot was full of smoke, and the story made across 2 other states in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES. (I kid you not.) A few weeks later, I bought this same friend a fish he had been wanting, and said, "You should name it after me!" He laughed, and decided to name the fish "SMOKEY."

It stuck - on me. The fish died, and 2 years later, I have the nickname SMOKEY on the back of my sorority's homecoming shirt.

Sorry for the novel! :)

Crystal

ugh i got one that just developed within the last couple weeks
 

...work-related nicknames are by far the worst, you need individual rebuttals for each circumstance, not the school-yard swears we used as a kid.

I work at two hotels, same job - bellman...park cars, bags, you know the story. Both hotels are owned by the same family, and when an opening came up for my current part-time job; I was approached by the owner's son, Jeff. Thing about Jeff is that he's very direct and frank, which can be construed as rude or excessive-compulsive if you don't know much about him (e.g. most of the staff at my full-time (and first) employer/ment http://www.lordelginhotel.ca/

So word going around with some of the other bellmen is that i'm some kind of informent for jeff (his protege) or some horeshit like that...appropriately nicknamed jeff junior, or JJ...Even the assistant manager calls me JJ - but he says it stands for Juicy Joes. Not sure what that means, but he's gay and winks when he says it.

So yesterday i made the mistake of telling some of my co-workers
at my second job (where jeff is assistant manager) about this, and holy shit geuss what? - they all call me JJ...i feel like george in that seinfeld episode coco the monkey

my mom calls me: Leilani (first name turned into a song)

my childhood nickname from my parents: LaLa(i try to get people to stop calling me this but it's infectious and no one will stop)

my grandparents and everyone else: Lexee

my sorority sisters: White Chocolate (because I'm black and I love white boys. . .)

my guy friends: Rumpshaker (because I get down and dance dirty with them)

Mine is one of the worst...
Crotchy

My sisters started calling me Katch or Katchy one year, no particular reason - maybe because I was a good catch?!?. :)
I was out with a sister one night and she introduced me as "Katchy, not to be confused with Crotchy!" About a week later I was walking on campus and I hear "CROTCHY!!!!" It was one of the guys I had met and he couldn't remember the actual nickname, so he yelled all he could remember. From then on, whenever I walked into a bar or party he was at, he'd yell real loud, "What up, Crotchy!" :rolleyes:

To this day, my family calls me blowfish. When I was little, we went to the beach every summer with my cousins. Since I was the baby of the family, everyone would dunk me in the water. Before going under, I would puff my cheeks up with air and my family said I looked like a blowfish. I'm stuck with it. And let me just say that high school was horrible having that for a nickname.

Maggie is not an easy name:
mag-pie
maggamuffin
raggamuffin
faggy maggie
magaroo
magdelena
dogma (my crazy friend calls me this because I tried to make her go to yoga class and all she did was laugh the entire time)
miggidy-miggidy-mac (think kris-kross)

then when i got to college and joined AZD, I became Maggie Kay bc there was already a big maggie (senior) and a lil maggie (junior). which has stuck FOREVER.

also, my big was drunk one night and it was raining really bad out and i was wearing a green pullover with a hood (kelly-green!) and i had the hood on and she came up and tied it around my face and called me a glo-worm. so then i became Glo-Worm, Worm, and Glo, and Glo-ness

To my mom & my aunt....Baby Dovely Love. *cring*

To my fiance: Baba

To my friends: Ski and sometimes Ska. Ski b/c of my last name, and no clue about the ska.

Most of my relatives called me by my middle name Jay.

the bartender at the bar I used to hang out dubbed me "Sleepy" because I usually go there after work and I doze off.

My first post ever... although a bit on the embarassing side. My dad used to call me Ex-Lax (as in smooth move, Ex-Lax) whenever I did something stupid. Nicknames now include Marvin, Champ, kamikaze, Tunes, C, Car, Carl, Carlos, Carlita, Carliyah, Carlamabob... I could go on, but I won't.

I have had like a million nicknames in my life....,
My name is Kelly, so the standards, Kelly Jelly Belly, any of the above combonations. i was also called Baby C, cause my older brother was on the high school football team and he was a senior my freshman year. Everyone on the football team called him C (the first intial to our last name) and when I came to school I became baby C, later shortened to baby. I was also smurf (I'm only 5') and lockjaw, which is a really bizarre long story and I have to thank my friend Jon in Sigma Nu for that one.

We call one of our good buddies "Wooderson" after the character in Dazed and Confused. He keep aging, but his girlfriends always seem to stay 18.... lol.

When I was little, I had Baby Cakes, Little Brown Bug in a Rug (I was really tan), and Noodleroni. I acutally didn't mind those... they were pet nicknames. My mom refused to let me be called Nicki.

But then my jerk uncle started calling me Wendy Whiner because I got picked on a lot as a kid and cried a lot because of it.

In high school I got nicknamed Booter because I was a soccer player and one of the dumb football jocks decided to call me that.

Now in college I'm Big Boobs or Boober. :mad: One of my friends wouldn't quit shouting "Big Boobs!" across campus every time she saw me so I started calling her Tiny Tits. Heh.

NICKNAMES THROUGH THE YEARS

I was always really thin, so I always got teased when I was younger. In 2nd grade, all year, one kid called me Skinnedy (makes no actual sense, but really wounded me at the time ::shrugg::) - I still remember his name - Tony - and the funny thing is, he was really skinny too.

My parents call me, "Grace," because everyone who first meets me/kind of knows me, but not really, thinks that I'm really graceful, elegant, and put together (according to my parents) but I'm really clumsy and a little ditzy.

Now, I don't really have a nickname, but everyone in my sorority is starting to call me by my last name - and I'm not fond of it. My big sister and her roommate started it. It's even spreading outside my sorority....some people don't even know my *actual name.* Grrr.

-Allie

Hmmm... ok I've got a few weird names... first off all - from being the youngest of 3.. and only girl. Secondly, my dad grew up on a farm in Illinois.
