Nicknames. What is yours?

[PixieDust]

I am sure many of us have been given a nickname or two over the years, so thought it would be fun to ask what is yours and how did it come about, whats the story behind it.  

Personally I have four

My first one is "Petals or Petal" and it actually started as a kid as I used rip off the petals from all my Nan's flowers in her garden much to her angst but later on if I would have a tantrum or the like, my Mum would say "Settle Petal"  and from there the name sort of stuck.

My second one is "Mutley" as when I get laughing I truly sound like cartoon character, so that one I got from my old work days.

My third one is "Pixie" and thus my id name but its also because I am mischievous in nature and love to have a laugh and quite often laugh at myself at the silly things I do at times.  

My final one is "Tinsel tits"  - what can I say, nothing like a bit of Christmas bondage in tinsel 😁😋

 

So are you brave enough to share yours? I would love to hear everyone's.

So many names to call you honey and love the topic. I truly think this could be real fun. I will certainly tell all about mine

My ex called me „Spätzle“ which is a typical German Dish. And since I’m from Baden and he is from Württemberg and there is a feud between them. They make it with water to save *** and we make it with milk, so we always would joke that I’m his badisches Spätzle and he is my Schwäbisch Spätzle. I think it’s funnier if you understand German but still I wanted to share this because I really liked those nicknames.

I sadly don't understand German but I did have a giggle and I love the name,  thank you for sharing 😁

You can call me any of them or just plain loopy lol but look forward to hearing yours 😁😋🧚‍♀️

I believe it will be a mixture of Mutley, as he was one of my fave cartoon characters and I loved his laugh, and Tinsel Tits as that just made me giggle. Love this post honey

My nickname at school was Filth because they all said it was the quiet ones who were the dirtiest - little did they know....

The one that stuck for me was Lunchbox. Initially I thought it was a compliment. Not so. It really referred to my lack of memory and forgetfulness. Had a brain like a lunchbox lol
 

For a short period I was also called Barfly. A reference to my then frequent trips to the pub. 
 

I had a few more that were kind of OK to say in the 90’s but are so not PC now days

I got called tazz when I was younger as I bit someone really hard and drew *** I guess I was a bit of an *** hahaha

[E-dUbBs]

At Sainsbury’s where I worked for a time I was (my name) the egg
A friend I worked with was into rap so started calling me the notorious e double g
As ever things get shortened and eventually E-dUbBs was born

Also my surname being very similar to sofa I got called sofa and 2 chairs again later shortened to 2 chairs
Both nicknames are very dear to me

I'm sure your not the only one who has a bad memory, mine is terrible sometimes but with some things my memory is amazing, I guess it boils down to what we find memorable and want to remember.   Love the Barfly,  cheers to that one 🍺🍺😎

Great name, I thought of the cartoon character when I read your nickname which I guess would fit if you were an Aussie but as you are not still love the name either way.  The question is did you grow out of biting or are you still drawing ***  😋

I assume badisches is from Baden and schwabisch from wurttemburg
Referring to the difference of the two dishes?
Correct me if I’m wrong

Thanks for clarifying the eggs,  so guess your person to come to if we wanna find a good egg 😁😁 

I love the other nicknames too.  Thank you for sharing 🧚‍♀️

I understand what you mean about your nicknames  being dear to you.  My Petals one is very dear to me especially now as both my Nan and Mum have passed, so it always reminds of them when others call me by it.

I’m sorry to hear but I hope it’s a good happy feeling when you hear it full of positive memories
Unfortunately I’m no longer the egg man
The dUbBs refers more to music now as I’m a DJ (for fun mainly)
A lot of my friends from way back still call me sofa or 2 chairs
In fact I get called that more than my actual first name that or my actual last name which will remain a mystery for privacy reasons of course

Personally i've had a few nicknames over the years, Tank and Hex are the ones that are kinda special to me.

Tank was given to me for the strength i had at an old job if they needed something moved or lifted out the way, the Tank came to play.

Hex is something special. It was the petname my first BF gave me, he's sadly passed on now in a road accident but the name is something i grew to love

[li****]

This is a fantastic post @PixieDust I have quite a few nicknames!!!! 

My first one was from my dancing days and I was aptly named Tits McGee as I've always had bigish boobs and the only other girl in the dance group got the name Nelly knockers 😂😂 always brings back memories those days loved my dance crew and still all close friends now.

My other nicknames are LouLou and bitchface!!!! 😂😂😂 Both of those come from my gay friends you can feel the love with that last nickname 😂😂😂lolol. LouLou came about as Louise is my middle name and bitchface just came about as one day my gay best friend couldn't get my attention so at the top of his lungs shouted OI BITCHFACE!!!! I happen to look up then and he said well that got your attention didn't it!!!! And since then it's stuck!!!! 😂😂😂

I always try to remember the good times, its the best way to be with memories I think.  As for no longer the egg man I'm sure you could still pick us a good egg or two lol  fantastic you are a DJ,  I love my music, I really couldn't live with out, it keeps me somewhat sane.....and I so know what you mean about getting called by your nickname more than you own name,  sometimes I actually even forget I have an actual given name as hardly anyone uses it.  It is even more amusing when someone does use it and I don't answer because I've forgotten what it sounds like 🤣

I love both your nicknames they are so great.  I'm so sorry about the passing of your friend but so lovely that you still keep the name and it holds a special place in your heart like mine does.  Thanks for sharing Hexy 💗😘

Thank you my *** from another Mister 😁👯‍♀️💗 and thank you for sharing 💗🧚‍♀️   I don't know which one I love more Tits McGee or Nelly Knockers they are both equally funny but Bitchface is a hoot too.  I love loulou and between you and @E-dUbBsyou both just reminded me I do have another nickname from school days which I would love to share but for the sake of my remaining family members I best not out my surname, I don't think they would be none to pleased.

Great nicknames, I love gangsta movies especially the really old black and white ones, infact I love old movies full stop.  Another music lover, even better 😁  Well I hope you do get to make music as a producer.  Thank you so much for sharing 😊🧚‍♀️

I've had a few over the years but one of my faves was "massive prick" I'm still not sure if they were talking about my manhood or me in general 😂😂
