Growing up my mother called me "little bit."
By the time I got to high school, let's just say I matured. Then my nickname turned out to be quite the opposite of little, it became "Booberly" (See cause my name is Beverly, get it?)
Needless to say, I hated it and was so embarrased by it, I always wore extra large shirts. I even wore a tshirt to swim in. I was also a cheerleader, so on game days, I had to wear the tight sweaters and uniform tops. It was awful!!!
Alas, I had them reduced in 2001 and my husband cried that day.

My aunt called me jimbo jimmy, and she was the only one that called me that. I didnt mind. My niece adapted that when she was too small to say it. If she does happen to put it in this discussion, I am going to the discussions on dogs and pick up a bloodhound, then to the discussions on tape and pick up a roll of duct tape, then on to the discussions on furniture and pick up a chair. Then, I will track her through these discussions, tape her to the chair and then take her to discussions on childhood memories and hit replay....

I'm usually called Saundy no one was ever allowed to call me Cass or Cassie.
I also was called Deedee, nonni. My dad called me Beak or miss mouse for ages i was never sure why beak.
The only ones that bugged me were the cass/cassies. i remember in grade 5 asking a boy not to call me that and he followed right behind me and kept on callin me that it made me so mad i turned around and punched him in the nose. He never called me cassie again, neither did any of the other boys for that matter.

I've never really had a nickname, but my name "Penny" is the shortened form of "Penelope", and no-one calls me that. In Australia a lot of people put "o" onto some names to create a nickname - David becomes Davo, John becomes Johnno, and so on. I have occasionally been called "Penno". (Come to think of it, we do the same with some words - afternoon becomes arvo, smoke break becomes smoko.) Surnames can also get an "ee" sound added - Jones becomes Jonesy, Smith becomes Smithy, while "o" replaces "son" in surnames ... Thompson becomes Thommo, Jackson becomes Jacko. So weird to actually THINK about it.

"Hey you" seemed to fit me most of the time. Actually, my parents called me "trout mouth" when I was a baby because of how big my mouth was I guess. I don't remember it, but they told me about it years later. Tweety bird was another because they said i looked a lot like tweety bird with a big head with yellow hair. All the hair is gone now. Chad is the only name that has stuck and everyone calls me that even though it isn't my name or even part of my real name. Who knows why, but I have always been "Chad".

i hate the nickname that my parents gave me. aside from having nicknames, my father has also got some pet name for us. he calls my eldest bro a goat, while me was a duck and the youngest one was a pig. he also gave our mom a pet name and he calls her hippo. i guess you can call us as the talking animals -.-

Well, I had an uncle that called me some "slang" names that it probably wouldnt let me type, but for the most part, my nickname was "MEME" :)

I called my older sister that for years because i couldn't pronounce her name. I still slip up and call her that sometimes. Her real name is Mecia (it is pronounced Me-See)I have no idea why i had such a problem saying it when i was younger, it seems simple enough to me now.

Oh my, I was called a lot of differnt things. Scroogy, Duck, Slim, (that one is history now)
Shu Shu, Suey.
The one I hated was Hook, my dad thought it was so funny cause my nose kind of looks like my moms. And in fact there is nothing wrong with our noses.
I felt like it was a degrading nickname.

My parents used to call me by my name. I have nicknames from other people: my cousins, old classmates and the newer ones.

I've always been called J.R. It was taken from my initials. I think its cool but people usually mistake me for a guy. Nowadays, friends call me Jamie, James or by my surname.
