As mentioned a few threads below -- high school was my golden time of such things: Nedward, Nedrico, Neduardo, Nesbitt Ragu, the Grateful Ned, the Ned Kennedys and Ned Sex, after John Sex (long story). Then there was 'Brain on a Stick,' which gained currency thanks to one of the football players (who was actually a nice guy) and my 130 lb. weight and 6 foot tall height.

Since then: the occasional Meeder Man, a former girlfriend Coleen and I used to call each other Col, my lovely wife used to call me Honey Bunny ironically -- the irony has since fallen away but the habit has stuck. She will also call me Jerkface sometimes.

No one's ever given me a nickname. Except Katie.
― Graham (graham), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 13:07 (twenty-three years ago)
I have two main nicknames. I get called 'Foreskin' because I am the only person a certain group of friends who isn't Jewish. My personal favorite is Dunjun Mastaa, which I earned when we were talking about playing Dungeons and Dragons as kids, and when I said that I had never played, someone said "you look like you would have been the Dungeon Master!" I got back at him by tricking him into shooting large quantities of Malt Vinegar, but the deed was done.

My Dad used to call me Lil' Partner and then Princess and sometimes Wiggles or Wigglebottoms.
My Mom calls me Agent Sarah sometimes (which she finds freakin' hilarious). She called me Lili for a while several years ago when I was trying to change my name. It didn't catch on with anyone else though.
NA gives me endearing names that I won't mention as they are supertwee.

Anyway, as that was the case, only close friends and family have called me by nicknames, nothing too weird - Rob, Robby, Robina, Robinder, RaRa, Robbo, Princess (my mom, obv), My Sistah! (my bros, obv). ah, and rrrobyn.

Wench - given to me when I was in the freakin boy scouts and it has lasted a long, long time. I'm sure I won't have a headstone when I kick the bucket, but if I did, you can bet Wench would be on it.JW - looks short enough, but it takes longer to say than my full name.

Abbott, would you consider "Six Pack Abbs" a cool nickname or an irritating nickname or would it depend on who was calling you that?
― In "Bob" There Is No East or West (WmC), Monday, 4 October 2010 20:28 (fifteen years ago)
I have real issues calling people by abbreviations of their name without being given explicit permission to do so
I love that Mark C said this, because he is the only person I know who calls me ails. There's no way I would have given permission for this, but it's just one of those things now.
I think I might have been the first person ever to call CarsmileSteve CarsmileSteve to his face.
― ailsa, Monday, 4 October 2010 20:39 (fifteen years ago)
WmC I have had every possible permutation of the "abs" nickname possible throughout my life. It would definitely be preferable than the nickname given by my manager when I worked at Taco Bell at age 16. She started out calling me "Abs of Steel" and then thought it would be funnier to call me "Abs of Flab." If I was trying to drink a six-pack faster than someone, I would definitely accept that nickname, to intimidate my opponent!
― Mormons come out of the sky and they stand there (Abbbottt), Monday, 4 October 2010 23:18 (fifteen years ago)
people who know me from quite a young age or from school or growing up mostly call me "fitz" or "fitzy", except then one of these people told my work colleagues this and for a while they all called me "fitzy" too, loudly and in formal situations, it was really fun actually and i liked it as it made them feel like my old friends. also for a while had "ro-dog" which i'm not mad on.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Monday, 4 October 2010 23:24 (fifteen years ago)

my family often calls me bob. sometimes i am zachbob. other times i am big bob. my sister is sometimes sissy bob. my sister sometimes calls me bub.
during one game of a 12-year-old baseball league season, i was known as "mighty duck". fuck you, mom.

latest nickname is "pickle juice"I like it because it makes me sound briny!
― does Red Stripe work like poppers? (Abbbottt), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 01:43 (fourteen years ago)
In over 55 years I have never had a nickname that stuck. My big bro tried several out for size when I was in my teens, but no one else used them, so they died a brief and painless death.
Apparently my given name doesn't lend itself to chopping, changing, or clever rhyming and I have no physical attributes worthy of nickname inspiration. In the world of nicknames, I am a cipher.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 02:56 (fourteen years ago)
My nicknames were all weird because they were just names. All through high school I was called "Lucas" after the character played by Corey Haim, because in a misguided attempt to fit in at my new high school I joined the football team as an undersized nerd. Then in college my nickname was "Corey Feldman" because of an unfortunate passing resemblance to the actor.
