What your Nickname?
 
Do you have a nickname that your friends call you by? Do you like it? If you had to make a nickname for yourself what would it be? If you could give a nickname to one of your best friends wat would it be and why?

Have fun!

Usually Tuffin, or muffin, puffin or anything else that rhymes with my surname.

Edit: Yesh, I like my nicknames.

hiphiphippo May 7th, 2010 8:19 PM

but well sadly, the nickname was lost over time o;
i don't care all that much though

Yes, of course it does. Any nickname counts.

Well, My name is Kevin, but I've been called Kevie once, which I thought sounded ridiculous. My science teacher called me by that Dx

A Pixy May 7th, 2010 8:42 PM

I don't have a nickname in real life much. Although I do get called by the first two syllables of my name.

On this website, my nickname is Pixy. No the nickname came before my username. Don't ask how a MANLY MAN like could get it I got it, it came and it stuck. I'm not even sure where it came from.

Yusshin May 7th, 2010 9:20 PM

Uh.

Rin... RinRin... Sweetie... >> S'all I can think of

RYOUKI May 7th, 2010 9:27 PM

Oh, everyone calls me AJ for the first letter of my name. Everyone at home, my neighborhood and my relatives call me that.

Timbjerr May 7th, 2010 10:38 PM

If diminutive forms of first names count, then people I'm familiar with have a tendency to call me Tommy instead of Thomas. :P

My peers and co-workers have been known to give me nicknames along the vein of T-Black, T-blade, T-bone, T-bizzle, T-money, and T-jerr...the last one was obviously inspired by the username I use here and various other places. XD

Uecil May 7th, 2010 10:48 PM

I have and got given one too many nicknames, Online and offline.
Online= Garru, Lukxy, Luxkie, SS and some others.
Offline= My dad calls me Smoochkins or Smoochum because when I was little my parents and other people use to refer me to the pokemon smoochum.
My friends at school extended my IRL name to Shaihakins =( and they gave me another nickname Cuddley wuddley woo..
And I don't like them one bit at all.

donavannj May 7th, 2010 10:57 PM

Well, I feel lazy and don't feel like posting them all, but I have more than I care to remember (and the ones I can remember I need both hands AND both feet to count them). They include: Big D, Hercules, Dinosaur, Don Don, Donny, Don, DJ, Dominic, Don-o, Donin, Vann, and Elfy. If you couldn't tell, people have fun with my name. XD;

mikey May 8th, 2010 6:49 AM

My name's Michael, so I've been called Mike before. Even Micky... o.O

And online, since my username is Toshiro, I've been called Toshi and Shiro.

shookie May 8th, 2010 6:54 AM

Vicky is what everybody calls me, and technically that's a nickname since my full name is Victoria. If I lose my voice, people call me Victor because it makes my voice a lot deeper.
I also go by Shookie with certain friends and I use Breadmaker as my art alias.

angel May 8th, 2010 7:06 AM

The nickname I'm called most of the time is Pooh, like from Winnie the Pooh.

Bluerang1 May 8th, 2010 7:31 AM

I've been recently "tagged" "Swizzle" xD I don't know where my friend got it from lol. Online it's Blue if not my real name :)

Eternal Nightmare May 8th, 2010 9:54 AM

Yeah I have quite a few nicknames.
Reese
Kai or Ky
Kai - Kai{sounds like cocked eyeds lmao)
Reeses Pieces
Reese Cup Dx I hate that one
Shadow
EN or CN

I think that's about it.

Honest May 8th, 2010 10:01 AM

Dipu, both in real life and here on PC. I think most people here think it's my actual name. xD I prefer way more over my real name. xD

Sammi May 8th, 2010 4:38 PM

My name's Samantha, but irl most people call me Sam, and on the Internet most people call me Sammi, after my username(s). I like both of those nicknames a lot.

I don't have any unusual nicknames, though. Which, I think, is kind of lame sometimes. Ah, well.

Yrie May 8th, 2010 5:15 PM

Ugh, I hate the nicknames my friends give me SO MUCH! But they tend to be too endearing for me to tell them to stop. Not to mention I get them back by making up names for them, so its all good >=D

Anyway, they call me
Xinkwaykway
Slinky
Xinki
Inkii
Yang de (hehe, "yang2" is chinese for goat)
Donkeygoatkidpufferfishpillowhead (just one friend though...she's rather creative xD)

I can see where they're getting these names from (with the exception of the last one) But none of these names would really make sense if they pronounced my name the way it really should be pronounced in Chinese. But I find English speakers have some difficulties with Chinese, so there's now an English pronounciation (which is where the nicknames came from) and a Chinese one (that has no nicknames xD)

RuRuBell May 8th, 2010 9:30 PM

No. I've grown up with so many people butchering my name that I'm sort of touchy on it, and I insist that everyone calls me by my real name. In elementary school, kids used to call me Marill, which I hated. :/

My sister calls me Marley-Harley when she wants to tease me.

Ayselipera May 9th, 2010 9:52 AM

My name is Mallory and for the most part people just call me Mallory, but a few friends use Mal, Malz, Malzies, Mal Mal, and Mall. I don't like Mall though because it sounds like the place the mall not a nickname. :( ... Oh, and my street name is Smooth D, but that's another story for another day.

OokamiShipper May 9th, 2010 10:58 AM

My real name is Sabrina, and my friends would call me "Sabby" or "Sibby" (I don't know the reason for the latter one, by the way) and it used to annoy me, but then, when I got used to it, they stopped for some reason. xDD

VictorRay May 9th, 2010 12:04 PM

my friends call me Recon and my clique calls me Fausto

KillehKiwi May 9th, 2010 1:20 PM
