My best school friend (whom I still love to see) and her mum still call me "Friar Tuck", but with affection. I also used to be called DON'T LOOK DANDYSMOM! "squirrel" at work. No idea why, but I didn't mind the name. I had a badge that read "Preserve wildlife, pickle a squirrel today!"
I WANT one of those badges!!!!! Love it!!!

Re: Nicknames

Never had a nickname - always wanted one because my friend at school was known as CJ and at the time I thought that was so cool! Spent so much time trying to talk folks into calling me something other than my own name. Probably didn't work as I kept changing it!

Re: Nicknames

Merz is a family given nick-name-one of my neices once started calling me that and now it has stuck

My 2 best friends call me Ebbi after Ebenezer Scrooge because I don't like Christmas

At school I was called Buttercup because of my blonde hair-I took it as a compliment but they could have meant I was a weed
