trakie cool quote, it's like people actually bothered to think about you. i like my nicknames. i have a few - trakie, tray, poopyhead, reeses, chris, kiddo, dipwad...
i don't mind that trakie originated from my incompetence. it doesn't bother me that i'm called poopyhead. kiddo and dipwad are real special, that's what my sis calls me. nicknames are just a way for people to show they care.

silentbob nicknames are just an excuse so people don't have to bother learning your real name, or your names not good enough so they have to give you one that suits them. how depressing. 000706

Jenna hehe..."claire-avoyant".

I have a few that are really derived from my name itself...Jen, Jen-Jen, and Jenna 'Nene.

There was a group in high school that called me Hokey Pokey very briefly. I don't remember where it came from.

And there's one that calls me blue_eyes, but only in e-mail.

It's sorta the same as Claire, though. Nobody thinks up nicknames for you with a name like Jenna.

nomatter I always hated nicknames. Even if they are just the abbreviated version of your full name. It's dumb and just doesn't make sense to me. 030916

misstree i was given my real name so i could be called by my nickname (teresa -- teri ... ssh, don't tell anyone). i would have been teri if i was a boy or a girl. but everyone and their kid brother knows me as tree; it's easier to remember, and if you're in a room full of carries and larrys and gerrys and marys and such, it's much better at getting my attention.

the only people allowed to call me teresa are authority figures i don't like.

smurfus rex when I was in Boy Scouts, my nicknames followed a progression based on my last name:

Cheese--Double Cheese--Well Done--Weldon

They thought "Weldon" was appropriate because it sounded like a real name. I thought that defeated the purpose.

When I got to 9th grade, I had finally made peace with the fact that people were just going to call me Booger at one time or another. It's like a reflex. So, over the year, mainly in Physiology class, my nick went from Booger to Boog. Apparently, "what up, Boog?" just rolled off the tongue easier.

When I got to undergrad, I continued my Russian studies, and, as in all foreign language courses, I was addressed as "Mikhail". But that had too many syllables and my prof, God love him, began to call me "Misha", which is the nick that continues to this day. But only with certain people.

It's weird. Some people can call me Misha and I'm okay with that, but only because I know them really well. If other people call me Misha and I don't know them really well, then it's almost offensive...

smurfus rex BTW celestias, I'm sure you've already heard this, BUT...

In Russian, "Natalie" becomes "Natalia", which nicknames into "Natasha" and "Tasha"...

one of my favorites, also.

James Arkham If you call someone "sparky", he or she will surely smile :)

My real name is "Jaime" (hey, that's spanish, otherwise it would be a girl name), but I wanted to choose my own name, so I told people to call me James ^^
