    I loved reading these... so funny and cute!

    Mine was initially "Wee" since I was so little and then it turned into "Wheezer" because I was hospitalized at age 7 for a tracheal infection that cause wheezing. Thanks Mom & Dad! I also got "Wiggy" because when I was 3 I had asked for "wiggy tails" instead of "piggy tails". If those are bad... my kids nicknames are even worse. My son's name is Mason and he has a few: Masaroonies, Roonie, or Roonington. Poor kid is doomed for life! My Daughter's nicknames aren't that bad ;)

    Lorina the Ballerina. When I learned to walk, I walked on tippie-toes. I wonder if that's why I do so well in sky-high heels now? :laugh:

    Also, Oolie, because I couldn't pronounce Lori. :embarassed:

    My sister has always called me "J" so her kids picked up on it and I'm "Uncle J"

    When in high school I was really shy so my best friends gave me the nick name "Beef" to try to get me out of my shell.

    At first I hated it and decided it would pass eventually but it didn't and to this day when I see someone from my school days they still call me "Beef"

    I used to have some Mickey Mouse ears with "Beef" stitched into the back but I lost them.

    Toonie. I had a stuffed raccoon named Coonie so we were Coonie and Toonie.
    Lucy. My mom still calls me this.
    Aly because there were a thousand Ashley's. A couple of friends still call me it.
    My hubby calls me Panda. They're my favorite animals and I'm a little obsessed with 'em.

    I've been called:

    "Little Bob" --My Mom used to call me that because I took after my dad.
    "lard bucket" --My Dad used to call me that. (This is the only place I would ever admit this.)
    "bullfrog" -- was what the boys in 4th grade called me
    "Martha Ann" -- my first and middle names, by my extended family in the south.

    Thankfully, only the last one stuck.

    My family always called me Tasha growing up so my brother called me Toshiba. :grumble: I hated it! :explode:

    I didn't have a nickname in Highschool really but I was verbed. I was so clumsy that if someone hurt themselves or did something clutsy they'd say 'Did you pull a Tasha' or if someone was on the verge of it...they'd say 'Don't pull a Tasha!' :grumble:

    boomboom
    as a child i loved to do the cheer firecracker firecracker boom boom boom. My sweet uncle called me Shelly "BoomBoom". His sons aka my evil cousins said "you have that nick name cause when you walk down the hall the floor goes "boomBoom".

    P.S. I was quite the chubbutha as a kid.

    My sister has always called me by my middle name, Michael. I don't know why. So I just always got variations from them like Mikey, Spikey Paul Mikey cause I used to have spikey hair, and Michael Motorcycle.

    Mine was "no". "no" don't throw your toys, "no" don't hit your sister, "no" don't eat dirt, "no", "no". :laugh: I think I have passed it down to my little girls now :tongue:

    :laugh:

    My daddy always called me Blondie....but as an adult, my two nephews can't say Christy (They are under the age of 3) so they narrowed it down to just "TEE" and it has stuck for a couple of years. I LOVE it! Makes me feel special.
