Ok after just posting a rant about banal topics, I am gonna post one...
AKA stands for Also Known As, in other words your nicknames. I am curious how many people have a lot of nicknames, and have gone by the various nicknames at various times in various venues. So lets see how many nicknames from your past you can remember and how you got them. Don't forget to include your MyLot name.
My Nicknames:
CĂș Allaidh (pronounced Coo Allee) - This is my society name for the SCA, only fellow Scadians call me that
Myrddin (aka Wyllt, aka Myrddin Wyllt, sometimes spelled Myrrdin) - this is my most common pseudonym online and was derived from the artherian tales, particularly referring to Merlin
420-guy - this is my blogging alias for my political activist blog about legalizing marijuana
Shyboy - this is an early net alias, was given to me by some paintballing buddies who felt everyone needed a cool sounding call sign for paintball... shyboy was the best they could do for me LOL
Stoner - file this one under ironic, no one calls me that anymore, but a few people I knew in highschool called me it. I say its an ironic nickname because when I was in highschiool I was completely anti drugs, the reason for the nickname is it relates to my last name.
Jeffro - only a handful of people call me this, pals from highschool, there are four of us who have hung out together since grade 7 and still talk all the time. Jeffro is an obvious play on my name of Jeff, not overly inspired I admit, but then Bri for Brian Mr. T for Tyler, and hmmm Mike didn't have one.
Double J - my initials are JJ so ya, that one's easy
Agent 77 - this one is obscure, only people I worked with at a particular grocery store ever called me this, one of my best friends that I worked with there dubbed me that because when I initialled my slips my initials looked like a 77 and not two J's becuase of the way I write J's

I have a few nicknames that are derived from my real name "Tamara." Some people call me Tam for short. My family calls me Tammy, and some of my friends that I have known for a long time call me by that name as well. Some people in high school called me Tam Tam lol. I thought that was pretty funny.

I have a few letters that I write differently also. I mainly write different when I am in a hurry.

You've had WAY too many nicknames GEEK!
I haven't had too many nicknames over the years. I have been called "K" (by nuckfuts when we were married), "Kare-bear" (by my best friend of over 30yrs, Dawn), and "Cabbage Patch" (by a classmate in jr high who though my face resembled one).
The most common name I'm called is "mom"... but I wouldn't count that as a nickname per se.
I'm sure I've been called numerous other things as well, by certain people. I know an ex b/f of mine has an ex wife who lovingly referred to me as "the cumt" (n instead of m of course)... but from what I gather, I wasn't the only one she called that. And perhaps as well, nuckfuts (my nickname for MY ex husband) may have some interesting expletives that he's nicknamed me... but I don't know what they are... yet? lol

Darnit! You're RIGHT! I didn't complete my post. I'll do that now.
Other "nicknames" I have gone by or go by, which I refer to as ALIASES (ergo my forgetting to add them lol) are:
-Topie (shortened from "Topaz", another name I used to use, as it's my birthstone)
-GreenEyedGal (did that one to spy on nuckfuts on dating sites way back when lol)
-QueenKaren (my first mylot name, used as a joke when other names wouldn't work, but this one did... eek!)
-CanadaGal (my 2nd mylot name, because I wanted something very generic sounding.. and got it!)
-Sarcastique... my MOST favourite and most recent one. I chose it as a superhero name for a facebook app game, then used it for other things, including my singsnap alias.
