    Nay or NayNay - my first name is Renee, have had this one since I was a wee lass

    Renoizi, Renoir, Shanaynay, Reniqua - all variantions from college buddies

    Min or Minnie - latest given by my friend Matt and what I based my MFP username on. We became pals around the same time I started losing weight and it was his way of complimenting me on my progress.

    There are a few others but they were fleeting and the stories behind them are a bit embarrassing...

    My mom and brother call me Chris (short for Christina)
    My crazy aunt madeline always called me charlie. I don't know why. I asked her once if she knew that my name wasn't charlie, she said did but she didn't care.
    My friend rissa calls me nina
    Some of my work friends call me blondie because I was blonde when I met them. It hasn't been that way for 4 or 5 years but it doesn't matter. Very confusing when new people enter the group.
    Everyone else calls me by my name.

    There has only been one person to ever give me a nickname. That was my grandfather and he called me Sugarfoot. I sure do miss him.

    Twinkle toes by my big brothers, they never heard me walking about when i was little.

    Mojo by my brothers and sisters and friends, my names jo and i was half their ages and the sweets mojo's were half a penny each.

    Semtex.. the sister!. When i was a teenager by my siblings and their friends.. because im the youngest of 8 they're all alot older than me, im very relaxed and laid back BUT i would take a lot of crap and then one day explode in their faces lol

    AJ now off my nieces and nephews because theyre all around my age and still want to call my aunty jo out of respect but its sounds strange when we are out clubbing together anfd they have more wrinkles than me ha

    nearly all the nicknames I've had over the years relate to the fact that I'm not very tall.

    Even my ice hockey teammates calling me "psychosmurf" is due to a combination of being short and getting into fights on the ice

    The guy my former roommate/best friend married calls me Dudders instead of Amanda....
    But that's about it....
    Except my husband calls me Goobie.... But I called him Goobie first and still do...

    Sexy Beast: Being the socially awkward individual I was in high school, I used to turn beet red when people said the word "sexy." My soccer team was kind enough to start yelling this at me during games, and it kinda sorta really stuck. Four years of that. My padre was not entertained :tongue:

    Kitten: I'd like to think I'm generally a sweet-tempered young lady, but a few things rile me up immediately. One of my buddies referred to the guy who had hit my brother with his car in a hit-and-run, and I said some choice words about said fellow which prompted "dayumm kitty has claws afterall!" So Kitten kinda stuck. I don't mind :happy:

    Bats. Bats has been my nickname forever. The jury is still out on if they're commenting on my appearance or calling me bat-**** crazy.
