Whats your favorite/funniest Nickname, how did you get it?

What's your favorite/funniest Nickname, how did you get it?

I know this may surprise some of you but Boobydoo is not my real name .

The name I used in my Feb 2007 article in Western & Eastern Treasure magazine, Calder Hawke, is also a Pen Name and not my real name.

Someone asked me today in a PM what they should call me and that got me thinking... dangerous, I know.

What is you favorite nickname or maybe your funniest nickname and how did you come about being called by that nickname?

Boobydoo was my college nickname (bobby + scoobydoo) from my running buddies. We all had nicknames and hassled each other all in fun. I was a big time long distance runner all through high school, college, and beyond and made All American (2nd team) my Soph year in college finishing 12th in the nation in the 1981 National Marathon Championship finishing it in around 2 hours 30 minutes. I ran something like 25,000 miles in my running career... about the same as circling the globe once I think. So now you know one reason I can have the stamina to swing like a madman and keep it up for long time like this weekend. When I get motivated, I get pretty obsessive about some things and just try to doo my best .

My funniest nickname was "Bobby Slobby Corn On The Cobby". That was from the older kids in my neighborhood when I was under ten years old. I was (am) a skinny little runt and they were picking on me I guess.... but they couldn't catch me!

I hope you'll share some stories with us. Some of the screen names here are probably nicknames. It should be entertaining.

Smiles!

The oddest nickname I had was "Gooch." Came from my brother - who was 12 yrs older - going "goochie goo" at the new arrival (me). Usually they called me by a different nickname tho - my mom was from the south where everybody has lot of nicknames. Go figure.

And I wasn't going to ask about the "wingnut" cuz I blush too easy

My littlest sister STILL calls me "Raggy". Tall, skinny, redheaded- just like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I don't walk that funky, though!

My longtime nickname was " scal " because I would pull scallions out of the ground and eat them. Still do.

My wife calls me a@@hole every now and then... does that count

I always got pez (first 3 letters of my last name)... and all of the pez dispenser jokes that go along with it. Can't tell you how many times people gave me those damn candies as a joke... only joke is... I can't stand them

Re: What's your favorite/funniest Nickname, how did you get it?

my favorite nickname is Cynangyl of course....comes from Cyn, short for Cyndi and Angyl because too many sites angel is already taken and some of the folks I used to game with said I would always be Angel to them so we combined them with a little twist. Besides...everyone KNOWS I am SUCH an angel! lol can't fool anyone...grandpa always said I was half irish and half mule....I of course insisted I got both halves from him!

When I was a tot I hated clothes (diapers) and always kicked mine off. My family called me Barry. Sort of a shortened form of Bare A$$ed Naked. Now that I'm old and gray it's become Grizzly Bare, and you wouldn't want to know what I'm wearing while typing this!

When CBs were the rage in the 1980s, before cell phones, and I had one in my van, my call sign was bedpanmoneyman...I was a Chief Financial Officer at a hospital. Now that I'm retired, I just keep it for a username.

Re: What's your favorite/funniest Nickname, how did you get it?

When I was younger and still today, my mom calls me either Gertrude or Tallulah... She would call me that when I would be overly dramatic about things. Being a little clumsy when I was younger, tripping over my own feet type thing, I got called Grace. Still do at times. My brother calls me Ka or Col, short for Colleen, always has, a lot of people in the family has taken this abbreviated approach.
