So, "Duke" is just a nickname. I've been labeled with it since third grade. As nicknames go, it's not a bad one.
Does anyone else here have a nickname you actually like (or at least are okay with)?
I was called Stevie short for Stephanie, and I love it.
A former manager of mine called me Rock and Roll and I have grown to respond to that more than my own name
I don't mind being called Lady. That said, most people try to call me Alyx or Andrea or Aly. I dislike those. Some call me Lexy, which I tolerate. When I worked at pizza Hut about 8 years ago I was called wolfy
They used to me "Olive" when I hit puberty, after Olive Oyl from Popeye. I had rather greasy hair.
