I picked up the name Broccoli this past year and I quite fond of it.

I do not. However my dad has been “Mouse” since kindergarten when he was the mouse in a play they did on Farmer in the Dell. As a kid in his hometown if someone asked who my dad was and I said Dale I got blank stares. When I corrected myself and said Mouse they knew exactly who I meant. He still gets letters addressed to Mouse Miller and he’s 77, lol.

Call me anything you want, just call me!

I was called Cheech in high school for obvious reasons.

I uh have had quite a few nicknames... Joeshmo, joeblow, in middle School I was pornojoe cuz I had access to nudy magazines, highschool I started as hacker cuz I locked the library out of their computers but that name devolved into fudge packer cuz people thought I was gay... Now a few people I work with call me average Joe and I like it.

Hmmm. A certain Genesis album comes to mind, but maybe that was some kind of mistake on my part...

My wife calls me lazy bastard every so often.

Do call signs count?

Oh my yes. My given name is Melita which most people cannot pronounce so I myself shortened it to Me in order to avoid being called Mel. One friend called me MaleeDUH whenever I did not understand a joke right away and would slap himself in the forehead when he said it. That was one of my favorites. There is Monster, Teela Monster, Meteela, Nakita....but my #1 all time favorite is Dida because that was given to me by my daycare children on the same day my dog Diego becoming Bebo.

Sam by family because my initials spelled it out
Shar in school
Shepup by a boss in the 80s that stuck
Currently I am called either shepup or Lucyfer

I worked in a dockland bar in the 70`s At the time all the dockers had nicknames. "The frightened fish", always saying "look out for the hook" a guy who was always late, so much so he had his own key the dock gates was "called early one morning." You get the idea. So I asked one guy what his nickname was and he said "funny enough I am one of the few that doesn't have one." Just then a guy shouted over "Hey piano, are you getting the drinks in? " They called him piano because everybody played on him.

I’m known as Wembley after the iconic London stadium. I got it from a band mate at our first gig when I hauled in a mountain of amplification equipment. Hey, I play bass; we have to move a lot of air ?

My dad called me by many nicknames: Inski, inskiboodle, button, slick, saltbutts. All endearing to me.

Have been called pirate since my mid 20's.

Harry. In my early 20's when I was tending bar, I earned the nickname Harry (taken from the Dire Straits song Sultan's of Swing ......from the line 'Harry doesn't mind'. It was so long ago that I cannot remember how I earned that name (given to me by a couple of regulars). Anyway I told this story to a young co-worker recently and she now calls me Harry. She is a young woman who like me, despises the labels that we as a society impose upon ourselves, so we have fun with it. This co-worker is a young woman who inspires me, so I am happy to take up the Harry handle once again.

My name is Daphne, so there's the obvious of Daffy or Daffy Duck. Or just Daf. My daughter's call me Mother Beast...that's my favorite...

When I was in the army, they couldn't pronounce my name (not very effective to yell at you while screwing up your name) so they called me Rem.

FrayedBear and GypsyJack. Both started as nom de plum or guerre but became nicknames. Another rarely used nom de guerre was Jean Pai. ... I was very fond of that one. I
In childhood I was Bugs Bunny until my second set of incisors grew to fill the gap caused by my jumping out of the high carriage pram. And at high school I was, for unknown reason, even my classmates do not remember why I was "Toots" - still it was friendlier than my surname only.

Yeah, Duchess !

Yes. GiGi is a nickname my grand mother started calling me after I was born. My dad said when I was a toddler and called myself gigi and corrected them...they gave up.

During my late teens, my ill-advised desire for adventure led me to spend several months living in the French Quarter in New Orleans. The cast of characters included beatnicks, street people, nomads, wandering musicians. No one had a last name, but most had a nickname that incorporated their first name i.e. Johnny Trumpet. There were a lot of Mikes, so they just called me Joliet.

The nickname was okay with me, but never needed it since then.

I've been Di for decades, and got to be Lady Di, then Princess Di, then back to Lady Di. That one has been with me a long time.

Missa is a nick name my sister gave to me when she started to talk. She couldn't say my name. I like it!!!!!!!

For a long time it was "Red". My best-friend's late husband started calling me that over 30 years ago. Very few people still use that, as my hair ceased being red a while back.
Now, it's "Re-Re". The (now) 5-year-old small human couldn't say my name yet, and it came out as "Re-Re". It was so cute and hilarious, I loved it, and it stuck. Oddly, the adults use it more than the kids. Hmmmmm. LOL
