My name is Roger. But my grandfather called me cuckleburr. Probably because I was always stuck to him in the garage. Loved cars my whole life.

I'm using one right now. It's African shing out of Kenya.

Nope that's a private romantic

Sil...My late hubby gave it to me. I love this nick.

Duchessa, OTOH, was given to my by my former Assistant Principal. He wanted me to cover a class and I say "Not in my agenda." He retorted with "Sorry Duchessa"...

Back in Puerto Rico, when I was like 14 years old we were shooting some baskets. It was raining and I was missing a lot. Then I said: "I must be like Bird Man because without the sun I can't function " Big mistake...I was Bird Man after that...

My name is Gerrit, my nickname is Gert (Ger, if they are in a hurry), pa (short for dad) and broertje (little brother). Nothing special but satisfying as they are.

I've had a few.

Before I got braces it was "Bucky" due to severe overbite.
With braces it was "tinsel teeth"
Then after developing a figure it was "Vidalia" (like the onion) because, evidently I was "a piece of ass that can bring tears to your eyes" (he was southern & it was a compliment.)
Now, all grown up, I don't really have a nickname, unless the different bits of profanity I'm called throughout the work day counts (I'm an investigator for a utility compant).

My nickname is Stumpy

My friend gave me that name one Sunday evening as we played Magic The Gathering and drinking Jack Daniels.

Being a tad drunk I commented that he bore a striking resemblance to Gizmo from gremlins. To which he replied “Shut it, Stumpy” and the name just sort of sticks

At work I go by Lucy.
Short for Lucyfer
Or Lucy Fehr

Johnny Thorazine, Mr. Thorazine, Big John, Wookie, God II, The Irreverend...the last two are old enough that I haven't heard them in years....John or Johnny is my name...Johnny Thorazine started as my band name when I was in a band called PsychoScumAddicts...actually, I think it was earlier, but that was the change from Big John to Johnny Thorazine...most people know me by Johnny Thorazine than by my real name.

Benthoven... I love mixing my name with Beethoven to get Benthoven.

Through my life... so many... Some were terms of endearments by relatives and close friends, other were boys being boys... others girls being girls... some were derived from sports... Many were only used by one person only... My ex wife still calls me Luigi (my staple in my youth and only real nickname in the pseudo legal way). She earned that much to still call me that. Those nicknames... all of them are representatives of other lives. But I admit there are still a few motherfuckers that call me Lobo or Nighthawk. Here and only here I am Gipsy... to the world I am and always will be Hector that guy that once was called Luigi.

Smlnjac, when you join the Fire Department in my area you are graced with a nickname often one you would prefer not to have. This occurs during your probation period. I was very happy to join the department and smiled from ear to ear my entire probation period. Hence Smiling Jack which was shortened over time to Smlnjac.

I'm a "Bad Ass Mother Fucker" according to my college friends who saw it fit to dub me Jackson. As in Samuel L. Jackson. It has stuck for 12 years.

When I lived in New Jersey growing up, teachers and some kids could either not pronounce or remember my full name. So it was shortened to Dee, which I do not like. I left home when I was 20 and moved to Seattle where I forced everyone to use my full name. Only my sister's continue to use the nickname.

Slick, Rambo, Genius and Slim were tags given to me by others, and ONE other that I will NEVER admit to... LOL
I prefer that people call me 'Rob' though...

I'm a pretty boring person I guess because no one has a nickname for me. In reality assigning ironic or humorous nicknames to people isn't a family "thing".

In doing some work-related research last night I did run across a guy who claims people call him "Mr. Butts In Seats" for his alleged "uncanny ability to fill stadiums with people" (he's a marketing executive). I thought that was rather different.

I have one, but I'm not going to repeat it because I hate it! lol

Actually, Duke is my nickname. I could tell you why but, I'd have to kill you.
