Well my first name is ******-**********
The weird nicknames I get are:
Princess - apparently I'm spoilt rotten and have a princess nature
Queenie - because I "carry myself around like a queen"
Little Miss Sunshine - stems from my sister because I smile and laugh to much ._.
Little Miss Perfect - School nickname - I managed to top several of my high school classes.
Sloth - Lazy
Flower - Stems from my first name.
Honeybee - Do not ask lol!
And I forgot to add - Go Go like the japanese girl from Kill Bill. (Because I apparently resemble her...and sound cute like her...)

Text messaging my best friend. Her parents now call me "Jingles" due to her ringtone. Hah.

I got a lot but here are some...

Krissy- My mom calls me that to annoy me
Angel- A friend gave me from my screen name. It stuck
Kay- My one friend started calling me that, I don't know why.
Mystery- My friend's brother called me that because I acted al mysterious
Cinderkristen- My grandma calls me that when she wants me to cook dinner or run the dishwasher
Falling Angel- My friends call me that. It started in a chat room at 5 am over the summer.

The sheer amount of nicknames I've accumulated due to my size (6'9) alone are pretty ridiculous.

"Big Ben" has a funny story, but I don't think it would hold up in type, so I'll skip it.

I have far too many nicknames to count.

Reasonably cute sidenote: Comic nerd that I am, I call my girlfriend "Prettybird" after the Black Canary.

my name is Merrick. My two favorites are these:

Maverick- Yes, like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. B/c nobody can remember my name, much less pronounce it (although quite simple), people started calling me that due to my lack of affection, to put it lightly, of authority figures. That and I used to want to be a pilot. a buddy of mine was also called "Goose" b/c the two of us were inseparable.

Kangaroo- In high school (i'm a frosh in college), i ran men's Hurdles. My favorite was the 110m High Hurdles. Some friends watched me and said that i look like a kangaroo while jumping and it stuck. plus, i jump over everything for no reason XD

I have a few nicknames:
Kato, well my name is kate and my friend just decided to add an 'o' lol...
Pumpkineater, because I became vegetarian
Whiskers J Philibert; this one is weird!!! I had a bruise on my chin and my friend thought it looked like a goatee :S considering I am a girl it's weird and creepy and annoying lol!
Button, cause I'm cute as a button lol

and
Maloo-- don't ask, don't know!
Princess; my grandfather's first born granddaughter.. lol so I was a princess to him, it's been running for 17 years now

so that's pretty cule...kinda cute too!

Esmo · 01-03-2008, 07:37 PM

My real name is Esmond, and the story goes thus...

In Science class I was in a group with two other people (Poppy and Rosie if you must know), and we had to leave a test tube next to the windowsill for the next lesson to see what would happen next lesson (I think we were genetically modifying stuff.) Anyhow, Poppy was writing our names on the little sticky label on the test tube, but she couldn't fit my 'n' and 'd' on, so she just wrote Esmo, much to the amusement of all. And it stuck.

Laydie · 01-03-2008, 08:08 PM

my name's Arijana so people usually call me Ari or Anja.
my brother made all kinds of nicknames for me. for example: bronhi (type of mint candy) and cuko (bosnian word for "puppy"). :S

Great You Guys

Really Intresting reading about your nicknames ><

SweetTemptations · 01-04-2008, 04:59 AM

My last name is Spence so some people call me 50 Spence some just say Spence. Other than that just my first name pronounced differently.

I am usually called kangaroose. This stems from a mispronunciation of my last name. My last name is Rouse which rhymes with house and mouse in terms of pronunciation. My last name is usually mispronounced to sound like "roose". Kangaroo is close to the wrong saying of my last name hence the nickname.

You get it?
