Do you have a nickname?

[Mr. Bloom]

For years, we called Silver "ET", but Silver has stuck to her now I often call her Silver when we ride...it just works.

BF calls me "evil witch monster"

Kiki. My real name is Kim and my 11th of 12 nieces/nephews, when first trying to say my name, said it Kiki. And it sort of stuck. Though my mother, God rest her soul, said "why do you let them call you that stupid name". I told her, better than the stupid one you gave me. I especially like it when folks put my title on there, cause there is something fun about Dr. Kiki. Though I guess not very professional. I also have a few friends that call me Kimbo, Kimba (the white lion for those of my age), and my oldest brother has recently taken to calling me my nickname from when I first started talking - Timmy Annie.

I've never really had a nickname.

My grandfather, Leslie, had 2 brothers, Alan & Floyd.

Their nicknames were Eckie, Skeets & Happy. For their entire lives.

OH, oh, oh!!! I forgot my FAVORITE nickname of all time.

Ama. Like Mama without the m. My sweet little almost-3 grandson calls me Ama. It melts me.

Karen

[Raindrop]

Evil Midget. One of my teammates also employs me as her Personal Trainer. She's the one who gave me the name. Others just glomed onto my personality and height.

My sweet grandson calls me "Bobbi".

Nothing to do with cycling. My partner uses diminutives Jeannie (not my real name at all), or Dearie or Poopie. Not sure HOW the last one came about. But we do use nicknames on each other while cycling with one another..it makes a great distinctive signal above other people talking around us nearby.

Anyway....I struck upon a great one, one day while I was cycling with him. His real name which is German, Hans-Jurgen. ("J" is pronounced as a "Y" in German). So nickname for him is: Honey-Jurgen. Or Honey-Jurgen-Bear. ...since he genuinely buys and uses real honey to sweeten his yogurt every wk.

My real name in Chinese, is seldom used even by my own family. But when used, it sounds like an endearment/nickname to me. My Chinese real name is translation of: "Precious" or "Highly Treasured".

I've had several. In school I was "berly" there were 2 kimberly's in my grade. She got Kim I got "berly". That turned in to burlap by the bad mean boys.

My grandma and my favorite cousin called me "Kimmie".

My husband calls me whatever he wants to, usually "sexy momma".

We nicknamed our kids.
Son was "Hot Rod" because he was running by 9 months.
Daughter is "Bug" named at day care by other toddlers trying to say Elisabeth.
Her name has very interesting nickname possibilies. You will notice there is no Z so lizard isn't an option like we called my cousin.

LOL!! Some of the nicknames are toooo funny!

Tuckervill, I think you should add Mother Goose to your collection of nicknames since you are heading the women's cycling club.

[Tuckervill]

That's probably a good idea. I've just volunteered for it, though--they haven't accepted!

I occasionally call you "Q" when we ride, short for Susie Q.

Um, mine are Charlie Mayhem (from the bar scene) and Megative at work.

From my riding partner. Early last season while out on a training ride, some other rider did something that yanked my chain, I was grumbling, and was harrassed about my grumbling. Then I replied something to the effect that I didn't have any sugar in my morning coffee, but Mike heard, that I didn't have any sugar in my pockets. He wasn't sure why I said that, what sugar in my pockets had do do with anything, and why would I have coffee in my pockets... and I've been called Sugar Pockets ever since.

Some of these are really funny--the ones that have interesting stories behind them remind me of "trail names" that long-distance hikers often have. (Some good ones I have heard are "Sir Pees-A-Lot", "Flameboy", who must have had some sort of accident with his stove, and "Vagus" as in cranial nerve X). I've never really had a nickname other than "Andi" (short for Andrea) when I was little, and that one was really only used by my family.
