Nicknames y'all had in high school and college and the reason for the nickname.
 
When I was in high school they used to call me "Sticks" because I was skinny as hell. In college it was always "KT" because that was my first and last name initials.

My friend's little brother turn Lizz into Lizzard. Why? Because he was 10.

Oh, I forgot Lizzabell. Same little bro.

Honey, in childhood/school: my parents started it, and it just caught on.

Fluff Queen/Fluffy/Fluff, in college: Started when my hair went super fluffy after a hair appointment gone bad, seriously.

Now, I go by my real name or Honey, depending on when people first new me.

Elementary/Jr High: "Fruit Loops"
High School: "St. Lu" -- I scored less than 10 points on the Dear Abby quiz of how "worldly" (shall we say) you were & I scored as a Candidate for Sainthood, plus I was a St. Louis Cardinals fan
College: "Infamous" -- our flag football coach gave me the nickname for (ironically) playing well
Stage Manager for 6 seasons on TBS Braves telecasts: "Werful" - given to me by Greg Maddux, "Sweet Lu" - given to me by Denny Neagle
Now: depends when you knew me, plus a new one of "Ok-Lu-homa", my home state

Coco! Because when I was born my sister(who was 4 when I was born) couldn't say my real name in full, so she called me nacoco and later on dropped the na. It's funny though because the kid I babysit says my name perfectly and he's two and my parents make fun of her for that haha

Belle - in New Jersey, 'cause I am southern.
Showboat - in high school, because I was big into drama.

High School: TRON ( was damn good at arcade games and also saw TRON (1982) over 20 times in it's original theatrical run)

College: Bulb (I went through I-Week by myself and the room I was staying in that week, the bathroom I had, the light bulb went out and all day long, I went around asking for a bulb.)

Today: THE MOVIE GOD or Jedi Master Projectionist

Flash--I was the fastest girl on my softball team.

Sigh…I've had more nicknames than I can remember the reasons for.
Antelope, Ursula, La, The Jolly Green Giant, Anigela, Puber, Angela Ann, Frieky Fried, Angelina, Eagle Eye. I could go on.

Anigela has been enduring for at least 15 years and was a misspelling on a birthday cake. My real name is Angela but they spelled it with the "i" between the n and g. When I told the person at the bakery that she spelled my name wrong, she actually argued with me that it was correct. :rolleyes:

high school - "Spree" (because I was always munching on those things)

college -"Pretty Ricky" (I guess they felt I fit that "pretty boy" look, whatever that is).

I used to love Spree! I haven't seen those things in years.
