    My name's Bronwen. It's weird and uncommon, so i have so many nicknames from over the years!

    My family and friends call me Bron, except my brother calls me Bronwen.
    My mom had a cheesy nickname for each of us when we were little, mine was Bronigan Blue.
    A kid in my 4th grade class called me Bratwurst, but he cracked me up so I didn't care.
    A girl in 7th grade made up a huge nickname for me that's ridiculous because my name reminded her of Braunshweiger. It was Bronjweiger Pork, The Other White Meat (we didn't know how to spell it for real and it stuck).
    My best friend in 7th grade called me Brombalin. She also called me Sheriff Bron after she gave me this fake Sheriff badge.
    A group of my friends also in 7th grade gave each other mean names, mine was Doofus (but it has nothing to do with my name).
    In high school, a friend of mine called me Brony, but then people thought it was funny to call me Brawny, like the paper towel.
    Freshman year of college I got the nickname Princess Bronwen because I wore a tiara on my birthday.
    A couple years ago I worked at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, and one of my co workers kept forgetting how to pronounce my name and called me Brownie instead.
    Then, one of my friends at the same job said it reminded her of brownie mix, and we both decided Brownie Mix was a pretty cool nickname.

    There's probably more in there, but these are my most memorable :) But I love nicknames, so I hope they keep coming!

    My brother & all of his friends call me Yoshi, or Yosh. I have no idea why.

    My dad calls me Petey (combo of peaches & sweety - the nicknames I had as a child)

    My Mom calls me Peter Rabbit - long version of the combination name my dad gave me???

    My friends call me Jesse or J.

    Co-workers & those who didn't grow up with me simply call me by my name - Jessica.

    I despise being called "Jess" ... I hate hate hate it, and again, have no idea why.

    My real name is Sharon, most everyone in my family calls me Sha. My sister-in-law calls me Shar, which used to bug me but not anymore. My brother has called me Sha-rock for as long as I can remember. To hear any of them call me Sharon would be extremely weird. My other brother calls me ShaSha in front of his kids, so that's what they call me, Aunt ShaSha. My mom used to call me Shaz, or Shazzy.

    The kitchen guys at work are Mexican all call me "Chinita" or "China" (pronounced "cheena") because of my curly hair. I don't think any one of them know my name, and I answer to it now as if it is my name! A chef I used to work for used to call me Chicharron because of the way that the Mexican kitchen guys pronounce my name, CHA-rone. Every time he'd call me Chicharron, they'd all laugh. One day I was like "What? What are they all laughing at?" Chicharron is fried pork rinds. :indifferent: :laugh:

    My dad used to call me Pinkydonkers. To this day, I haven't any idea what a pinkydonker is. If anyone knows, I would love to be enlightened. I never thought to ask my dad while he was alive. One of America's greatest unsolved mysteries :tongue:
    My sister's nickname for me I absolutely hate but she still calls me this - Pig F'er (edited for viewing).:huh: My sister is off the reservation, I know. She comes up with the most offensive horrible nicknames for everyone. She calls my mom "The Old Bag" and "Old Goat." And she truly means no offense. :noway: I am amongst crazy people.

    I was called "Sam" at a bar I worked at years ago...maybe to separate me from another girl the same name?

    "Nigel" by more guys at another job, because my maiden name was Mancil; guess there was a race car driver that name?

    my husband just calls me "C"...he is the only one that can, and my sisters call me "Chris", because until I turned 19, that is what my family called me...until I "grew older & wiser"!! LOL! Now, it is Christine by everyone I meet...

    my husband will also call me "babydoll", but that is about it

    Sweetpea - My parents didn't know if I was going to be a boy or a girl, so before I was born they called me Sweetpea after the baby from Popeye. I still get called Sweetpea sometimes.

    Little Shannon or Shannon II - I have an aunt named Shannon. It's very confusing, since I am also named Shannon. So I was Little Shannon or Shannon II growing up.

    Shannie - This is the name most people from my personal life use when talking to me.
