Do you have a nickname or pet name? What is it? Do you know why or how you got that nickname? My late Dad called me Bulak which in our dialect means flower. I was his little flower, he said.

My parents called me Mike and/or King. They told me nothing about why did they call me that name. Well, i just realized they just love the name and seems to be closer to God.. just like Saint Michael.. do i? lol

My rabbit's name is Bebe, which means nothing to me. But my kids' nicknames are all in Hawaiian: Kaiwi, Kaluna, and 'Ahi. Kaiwi short for Kaiwikoa means strong warrior/bones, Kaluna short for Kalunaokekai means overseer of the waters, and 'Ahi, short for 'Ahilelekapuhi means the ancient firebrands thrown prior to war in old Hawaii.

Nickname I have a lot.My real name is Jennifer...Most people called me Jenny when I was young then when I became teen friends called me Jen..and my name had a different spell like Jennie, Jenie...Then I had some pen pals back then and they called me Chrissie Maddy Hynde taken from my favorite stars Madonna and Chrissie Hynde back then. Now in the call center business we have to change our names sothe Americans wont know we are Filipinos so they called me Paige..And I have been Paige for almost 2 yrs now.

When i was growing up my brother and i had names we would call one another to rile each other up with. I would call him baby boone and he would call me dirty sally. Boy we would get mad and try to rip one anothers heads off. We still do it now as adults but just laugh now.

Well, that sounds really sweet and nice of your dad. My dad used to call me red bird when I was a little girl. I guess I was really red when I was born. Now I go by Lillie and Lydie.

My dad used to call me a pet name that always turned me on, make me feel good, loved, accepted and S-P-E-C-I-A-L! There were four boys before me and when i was born i was like an only girl in the house cos my elder sister was grown and mostly in school. so my dad will always say'the girl, the girl' and he said it so specially that i felt so important and it kind of encouraged me to always do things to impress him so that he can call me by my pet name.lol!
