I've had tons of nicknames, but none related to biking, oddly enough.

At some point when I was a kid, I was dubbed GooGoo by my family members. It stuck so badly that for awhile, the whole family revolved around me. My mom was referred to as GooGoo's Mom, my brother was GooGoo's Brother, and so on. Pissed my brother off to no end!

When I was in highschool, I was Boo which is part of my maiden name. No one called me by my first name except teachers. In college, that got morphed by a friend into Skidoo - so that stuck for a few years.

On my soccer team, I was Treads. My coach gave me that name the first time I basically ran over an opponent to get to the ball.

When I was living in Boston in my early 20's, I was also called Scoop. That was because I had the bad habit of "scooping" (making out with) guys every single time we went out.

At my last job, I was Queen Catherine (or QC). I believe that started out as a derogatory name handed out by a couple of techs when I was super demanding of them before I'd even gotten to know them. After awhile, it stuck...but it became a much more friendly name and everyone in our group used it for me (partly because I was the only woman, too).

My given name is Catherine, but up until I went back to school for my masters in my early 30's, I was Cathy (which I never liked) or Boo (in high school). I believe that Catherine started to stick because that's what the professors called me (when they did roll call) and everyone kind of picked up on it. Now, everyone calls me Catherine including my husband. It actually freaks me out when he calls me Cathy! Actually, my SIL also calls me Cathy and that's super weird since I've only known her for a few years. It makes sense because that's what my brother calls me, but it just feels really odd coming from her!
