Well, I have to say I have a quiet humorous nickname and a good story to go along with it. When I was in high school I cheered. I went to Greenup County, which if any of you are familier with cheerleading you know it has like the most famous high school cheerleading team in the nation. Well, anyway, I was very thin, had long legs, and dark hair which I always pulled into a low pony-tail. Well, anyway, one of my coaches got this idea that I looked like Olive Oyle from Popeye. He soon began calling me Olive along with everyone on the cheerleading squad. Not only that but when the book about Greenup County cheerleading was written I was one of the main characters, and my chapter was even called Olive Oyle. Also, because I go to Morehead, just a little ways from Greenup and where most people in my hometown end up for college, it has now caught on there. Of course now though, I look nothing like Olive Oyle and when I am called olive they think it's because I love eating olives or something weird like that!!!
