What was your nickname during your school days?How did your friends call you?

In my country, a majority of nicknames get based on a persons first or last name. I was always called Jim or Jimmy; or people would take my surname and add an "ie" or "y" onto the end of it. For example, if your surname was Jones, then people would call you Jonesy etc. Nothing too complicated at all!

Most of my school years were spent in all-girls' schools. And most girls are decent when it comes to nicknames. Mine was 'Sandy' - short for my name. But boys can be really mean. My husband still refers to his classmates with their nicknames...which ranges from 'BOND' to 'poochi' (which means bug in malayalam). They even had nicknames for a few of the girls. My husband was (is) Kolan(something to do with 'pole') due to his straight hair and lanky (then) figure.

At school , only one person had the audacity to call me by anick name "piggy". Actually it was mutual and we went on to call each other by that name. So much so when we met after around 10 years, the first word which came to each of us was this, and we both broke into splits of laughter.

Well, here I am diqualified to answer your post Bala and I may have to resort to the one liner , two liner meaningless response.I was not given any special nicknames either in school or in college or for that matter at home too.The one nickname that I was given when I w as 3 years old was that a I was a whining queen[ my brother was born when I was 3 and apparently I used to go after my mother whining for her attention.

During my school days I was so called a little round in shape so my friends used to call me this nickname that I hate a lot. Ok they called me "Miss Pig".

I was/still am nicknamed the walking dictionary/encyclopedia, lol! Because, anytime someone wants the explanation and meaning of a word, or its' spelling, or some piece of information that people 'usually' don't even bother knowing, they always turn to me, and I'll always have the answer xD

I was named Jolens before then. Jolens is the nickname of a celebrity here in the Philippines Jolina Magdangal. They said we have familiar face and I also can sing so they called me Jolens. However during college I was called by my last name, it is their way of calling people by surname.

This is a good discussion. I wasn't really called any names during my school days, I think they wouldn't dare. However, I noticed lots of my friends being called different names and sometimes it is quite pitiful to see some being called by their father's names. Those times were quite a lot of name calling and many more. I remember those days vividly. Kind of funny reminisce too, if you ask me.

My friends called me the shortcut of my first name. Its been that way since childhood. Though a few people did call me "Bhudz", that is my nickname at home. Its derived from the title "Donya Buding" which is also the title of a local actress who is quite healthily chubby. I was chubby in childhood you see. So my Mom called me that which spilled over to my family. Then a few close friends sometimes call me that. Though there is a group of friends in high school who called me 'bj'. You're gonna have to ask them why they named me that because I frankly have no idea. But they're the only ones who call me that in person, and Ive used it to form part of my online name. So my online friends also call me that.

My friends when I was under 9 called me Stevie. Some would hear my father call me Stinky, and a few tried to also call me Stinky and got fat lips. Since, I found a very famous person was nicknamed Stinky, and have altered my view of the nickname.

Hi Bala! Interesting discussion! It's cute the names people have sometimes. I never really had one at school. People just shortened my name from Jenny to Jen alot. My grandmother called me Apple....lol...she said it was because I was the apple of her eye.

Hi balasri, Well many people have nick names I mean a couple of them. But fortunately I had none and all would call me with my first name only. [em]happy[/em

its Penan..name of tradisional men in jungle..because i was study their living and habitats..

My nickname was Little One because I am very petite. I was 5 feet tall and weighed around 92 pounds in High School.

My nickname was Birdlegs. If you saw my legs you'd know why..lol I am a thin person anyway but my legs look like sticks. Can't wear capri pants because it looks weird. Ok my turn, what was your nickname and why?

Hello balasri. My close friends call me Erk or Erks short for Erica. It bothered me at first because Im not used to the fact that my friends call me that. Only my family calls me that, but Im getting used to it already.

During my school days,one of my friend named me Moony..I my was as round as a sphere,and this was the only reason... Initially I used to get angry but I started enjoying the name afterward. Some of the people in my class doesn't know my original name still now.

Hi bala, I didn't have a nickname when I was in school but when I left school my boss used to call me Twinkletoes because I was small. Tamara

I am Italian and my name, as it reads on my birth certificate, is Paola which is the translation of Paula. I changed my name after I left school because I got tired of people constantly mispronouncing it to sound like payola or polar. While I was in primary school everyone called me Pavlova. Thank goodness that one didn’t stick!

My friends in school nicknamed me simmy because they found me too simple for their worldly knowladge.They also called me mobile dictionary because I was very good at word meaning.My siblings used to call me simu with love. My Father called me "Simmy boy" because to him I had more of boyish qualities than girlish.
