When I was a little girl, my parents called me, get this...Mushnick. Mushnick's Flower Shop was featured in the musical my father was performing in (Little Shop of Horrors) when I was about 3 or 4 and for reasons unknown to ANYONE, I got stuck with that nickname for awhile.
My name is Tracy and my dad STILL calls me "Trainer" and all it took was for him to say that in front of one of my sisters and I was stuck with it all through college.
My favorite nickname was given by some guy friends to one of my sisters who had BIG, BLONDE hair (this was the '80's, please keep in mind). Supposedly, she looked like Dee Snider, lead singer of Twisted Sister. Her nickname? DeeZee Snider, of course

By the light of the lamp, by the light of the lamp, by the bright shiny light, by the light of the lamp...if you are a DeeZee, you're the best that you can be, by the bright shiny light of the lamp!
