    Nina (Real name is Tracy) Started as a joke between a friend and I but stuck. So many people called me that and people that knew me before thought I changed my name.

    Worked out well when I met people that spoke little English, Nina was much easier to pronounce.

    I'm going to share my siblings' nicknames because they're good for a chuckle:

    Brother 1: Zeke (because he alwasy wore "Zeke" brand overalls)
    Brother 2: Jody (because he's a ginger & looked like a character from the Andy Griffith show...at least I think that was the show)
    Brother 3: Glory (not quite sure the origin of this one)
    Brother 4: I can't put here because it's wildly inappropriate, LOL!
    Brother 5: Bachman (it actually started out as B.H., for "Basketball Head"...was shortened to "Bache"...then morphed to Bachman)
    Brother 6: Bic (apparently they thought Bugs Bunny's nephew's name was Bic)

    Sister: Toots (like Tootsie; but without the "ie")

    Herbie - workmates in my first nursing job gave me this one as I drove a car that looked nothing like Herbie LOL

    Pinky!
    One day I wore a pink blouse to work and one of the guys yelled, "Pinky" when he saw me. It stuck and I was Pinky from then on, at work only. I thought it was funny and worn some thing pink now and then to keep it going. My coworkers gave me a pink tiara for my birthday and I still have it, even though I'm retired now.

    My actual name is Dallas.

    D - Guess this one stemmed from saving time or laziness

    Big D - Started after I spent lots of time at the gym.

    Dusty - Started at my workplace, I think its because at that time I had not dated in about 2 years
