Nicknames

[Mobasser]

Since I was the youngest sibling in my family, people called me "Junior" from a very young age. Now I'm 65 yrs old. I still have relatives who call me Junior to this day. The nickname stuck.              When I had a carpentry crew going we had two guys who were very big. One we called " Moose", and another who we called " Hoss". Both never minded these nicknames.  They seemed to like them.                                        When I seriously  started  bass fishing, I met an older guy who took me under his wing, and helped me out. At the time, he was the best bass fisherman I ever knew, so I gave him the nickname" Hot Stick". He never objected to me calling him this nickname.                                          Do you have a nickname? Have you known other folks who had one?

[Jig Man]

We only used last names for friends, not nick names which probably came from sports.  My mom called me Buzzard but never explained why.  Maybe I should have bathed more often.?

[Mike L]

I’ve been called a lot of things in my life but never had a formal nickname. 
 

However, I’ve always given names to my kids and grandkids. 
My wife is Irish so I call her..Spud

My Daughter was my first born so she is..Baby Girl 

 

When my son started walking it was like a sonic boom around the house so I call him..Boomer

 

My first Grandson is..My Pal

 

My second is.. My Partner 

 

When my first granddaughter was born her cry sounded like a chirping cricket, so she’s..Cricket

 

My second granddaughter always wanted to wear dresses..Little Miss

 

Yeah I know too much information ?

Mr. Bill

 

 

[Jar11591]

Been called "Juice" by friends since high school. My name is Jesse, so most called me "Jess", which gradually became "Juice". Proud of that nickname   

 

As a baby my dad started calling me "Melon Head", but my mom wasn’t a fan of that one so my dad changed it to "Melon Man" haha

[Darth-Baiter]

I was nicknamed Curtis as a kid.  It was because (I think it was Curtis- it wasn’t a good nickname) there was one Asian kid in the Mouseketeer show and that was his name. So naturally all the kids glammed onto that.  It was better than the other stuff that called me.  I grew a thick skin quick and only punch my way out a few times. 

[volzfan59]

I am an extremely detail oriented person, extremely. My best friend in this world used to call me "Hawkeye" because very little ever got passed me. He shortened it to "Hawk" which he still calls me to this day. It never offended me at all, heck I know that I'm OCD to a fault. ?

[Bird]

Ironically my nickname has always been Bird by most. ?

Growing up the only sport that I excelled at was basketball and everyone on the team called me " E " ......... Any of you older guys remember Elvin Hayes?

[GreenPig]

Family called me Nature Boy, Big Boy, Blue Boy, and my fishing buds call me Spot Man.

[gunsinger]

JR for me....not junior, but the two letters together.  Started in the army where I had to initial all my work and people just took to calling my by my initials.  Now, most of my crew call me that.  Won't get into what my wife calls me ?

[Skunkmaster-k]

In hike school my alias was Scruff . Nobody has called me that for a minute , thank goodness. 

[TnRiver46]

Waterdog

[KSanford33]

Suitcase…

 

When I was in my early twenties I was basically a fill-in goalie for a bunch of semi-pro and Canadian senior hockey teams, so there was a stretch of time when I lived out of a suitcase for a while. Someone picked up on it and the name stuck. 

[Chris Catignani]

KatDawg.

[12poundbass]

When my wife and I were dating her niece was two and couldn’t say Jeremy, so my future father in-law called me JJ which she quickly picked up on. 18 years later she still calls me JJ, so does her boyfriend, my 15 year old nephew, and my mother in-law. 
 

My dad, stepmom, step siblings, and their families all call me J. 

[Dwight Hottle]

Some of my fishing buddies called me hook'em. 

[Log Catcher]

I had an aunt that always called me Dennis the Menace. Never could understand why. I was always such a good child. HAHAHAHAHA.

[gim]

Rocketman.  That came from HS when I played golf and often hit it farthest off the tee with my driver.

 

Woodchipper.  That one came from my hockey days and everyone was still using wood hockey sticks.  I broke so many of those things they started calling me that nickname.  Of course now, everyone uses 1 piece composite hockey sticks.

 

I call my boy Gump because if he's going somewhere, he's running!

 

 

[DaubsNU1]

Lots of nicknames in my world:

 

Me: Daubs, Pudge, Wookie (wife's boys call me this...)

Wife: Red

Daughters: Nin and Yecksa (how they pronounced their names when they were really small). Also call them, Turd, Sweet Girl, and bucket-of-snot

Wife's boys: Chicken-Wing, and Nuggs or Nugget

 

We also have nicknames for other things

 

My Duramax: wife calls it "Precious" (as in Lord of the Rings)

Wife's car: Scoob-a-roo (Subaru Outback). 

Daughters car:  Rex

Other Daughter's car: Flynn

Wife's boys car: Clifford

1979 Lawn Boy push mower: Frank...as in Frankenstien, or Franken-mower, because it's put together from many different mowers, and just won't die. Wife hates it...I love it!  Must keep living!

Our 5th wheel RV:  Prancer, after the Tartan Prancer from the new Vacation movie.

2005 Accord:  Taco. Have no idea where the wife got this one...but it has stuck!

Might be to old for some of y'all but dad called my brothers Hans & Fritz after the Katzenjammer Kids & I was Dennis the Menace.

 

Also called T2 or T² , of course Thib, & Tommy T.

[CM-fisher]

"The Weatherman"

 

And I'm not entirely sure why. My baseball team back in 10th grade decided I needed a good nickname. So I got one

[Columbia Craw]

Dougie or Doooooglas.  I’ve been called the claw due to a deformed fingernail. My favorite was bulldog.   When I took a case on I never let go.  I would work that investigation into the ground.  I didn’t care  how long it took. I never let go.

[Woody B]

I've never really had any nicknames.  I don't count Woody as a nick name.  My real name is Woodrow.  I've got a friend who's 6'4"- 340.  Everyone calls him Tiny.  

[thediscochef]

"Dad" and variations thereof. I don't have kids and my romantic partners don't call me that. Some of my longtime friends call me that. It's unsettling. I think that's why they do it. My fishing buddies do not call me this.

I have a nickname for one of my more frequent fishing buddies, Country Time. Man will skin a catfish anywhere with whatever tools he has without hesitation, gets in the ankle mud to land our big fishes at the river. He's a wild man, always a trip.

If you think skinning a catfish and walking in mud is wild, clearly you have never been to Florida
