Did you have a nickname as a kid??

[Emme]

Did anyone have a particular nickname when they were young? Something that might even still be with you.

My middle brother (12 years my senior) used to call me DeucerDooby. No clue why or what the heck it even meant. Can you imagine being in a store and hearing this guy screaming out "Deuce" "Deuce" "DeucerDooby!!!" No joke when I got to my teen years I would cringe and not leave his side in store for fear he'd be calling me "Deucer" looking up and down isles!

Mine was Doonie. It developed from my name.

Never understood why?

Let me first say I am the only girl in my family. I have 3 younger brothers.

My dad has always called me....Bubba. (Supposedly, it means Lady in Windish or Hungarian or something like that.) It doesn't matter if we're at home, at church, or anywhere. I'm Bubba.

Anyway, as time goes on, I've since become Aunt Bubba to my nieces and nephews. I'm already thinking I'm gonna be Mama Bubba when grandkids start coming along.

One of my nieces is Little Bubba since she is fair like me. She, too, is an Aunt Bubba (at the ripe old age of 11!)

I really wouldn't have it any other way!!!

My Dad always called me Tigger I don't know why though .

 

[Pakey]

Pakey. My younger brother could not say my name and called me Pake, which then became Pakey.

 

[golfgal]

Pakey. My younger brother could not say my name and called me Pake, which then became Pakey.

Our youngest DS went by Pakey for a long time. His twin sister couldn't say his name either.

 

[Stacerita]

Tink. Been called that since I was a few days old. The reason....it rhymed with stink. So I am called Tink, Tinker, Tinker-lee and the like.

 

[alexandria674]

Lexie. Still called it today by family and a few close friends but I introduce myself with my full name now.

 

[ilovejack02]

My godparents call me Ladybug , my family calls me Beans .

When Mom was pregnant, I was " the bean" , later it went to Jenny Beans and now just Beans.

I am 36 and still called Beans by my aunts and cousins.

I do not have a nickname. My DS is younger then his sisters. He could not pronounce his sister's names. Katelyn and Shavonne are their names to him they became In and On.Even now and he is 10 years old.

Since my name is Elizabeth I was called Lizzie when I was younger and certain family members still do.

My grandpa also used to call me Arsty-Fartsy when I was a baby. I do not know why?

 

[AnnaS]

I will give you one guess. There are still a few people that call me that once in a while - very few but they are out there. Anna Banana.

 

[MerMom60_94]

My oldest brother, for some unknown reason, used to call me Spearmint Worm. He even made up a song for me (to the tune of This Old Man)

Spearmint Worm, Spearmint Worm
Leslie is a Spearmint Worm
With a knick-knack paddywack
Give a dog a germ
Leslie is a Spearming Worm



My Daddy used to call me his Woofus or Woo for short.

 

[acejka]

My mom and grandma called me toots-still do actually.

Everyone else calls me banana-can you guess what my name is???

 

[PebblesMK]

I was Beezer or Cookie. My daughter was nicknamed Twinkie by my dad. The day she left the hospital, we stopped at my parents and she was wearing one of those pajama bags that was yellow and her head poking through was porcelin white and my dad said she looked like a twinkie! She still gets called that from time to time, but gets Bubbala or Franklin more often and Mayce or Macy from everybody else.

 

[gshanny]

My dad called me Squirrel Bait or Gertrude. I can understand being called Squirrel Bait, but was never sure where the Gertrude came from.
When my daughter was born she was dinky and stayed that way for a long time. I started calling her Dinkerdoodle, Dinker for short. She uses that as her e-mail addy now.

 

[ZephyrHawk]

Yes, my nickname was Bucky. I was named, strangely enough, in homage to Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars, a silly kid's TV show that I never had any interest in. One of my friends liked it and I teased him for it. So he started calling me Bucky. Sadly, he did it in front of the group of kids we skied with, and the name stuck. By high school, everyone called me that. My first car, was named The Buck Truck.

I pretended to despise the nickname, but I actually really liked it.

My whole family used to call me Ninna. I have no idea where it came from originally except it started as Stephaninna, then was shortened to just Ninna. Thankfully they've stopped.

DH's family still calls him Sport....which is actually hilarious considering he is not athletic at all. It's the reason that I absolutely refused to name ds after dh and make him a third. If DH was a Junior and got Sport, I couldn't imagine what horror might be brought upon my poor child. We gave him dh's middle name instead.

 

[4greatboys]

I have had several. My step dad called me Ralph when I was a kid. I have no idea where that came from. One of my friends and her brother called me Dinky. My current friends call me Weeza (after Ouiser Boudreaux on Steel Magnolias).
