Parents always give their children a good name, a name with hope. But as they grow up sometimes they got nickname which have nothing to do with their real name.
And then I remember about my old days when I was in school. When I was in elementary school people called me tomboy because I did look like a boy. When I enter junior high school class mates called me Amazonian woman, because I was tomboy and wild. And in my high school people called me with several nicknames :
1. Cold blooded killer : because of my eyes. I have sharp eyes.
2. Tall : I am taller than most of my friends
3. TEgangan TInggi (high voltage in English) : see the capital letters, it's my name.
4. TEman TIdur (friend with benefits in English) : see the capital letters, it's my name
5. Bandit : because of my eyes (again)
Do you have a nickname that have nothing to do with your name?

No nicknames for me. Sometimes people just shorten my name and call me Di instead of Dianne.
My husband calls me various pet names which I love.
and he is!

Oh wow, those are some fun nicnames. High voltage! I think I like that one. Did you like it? So witty that your name is included in the words.
Faye is hard to make into a nicname. Someone once called me "Sparkle" because I like glitter clothes.

Sometimes people gave me nicknames probably because they don't know my name. When I bought something from the store, a man called me "Tisay" which means mestiza. This is maybe because of my fair skin. I got a lot of this when I was younger but I was surprised when someone called me this nickname nowadays.

My nick name had something to do with my surname and it goes way back to the point were it was even deragatory. Anyways, I used to hate i t but I'm used to it now a days.

My dad called me peanuts or sometimes squirt. I was the oldest and tallest until my brother's few up and definitely no squirt.
Later in life friends and family called me Sha or da Sha which I liked but that was a part of my name. In fact I liked it so much that I named my oldest daughter Shana figuring people might then call her Sha but we never did and neither did anyone else to my knowledge.
And now I must do something other than just mylot although this has been fun.
