Have you ever just came up with a strange name or something for someone or something, if so, SHARE IT! Cause sharing is caring! ^^

Examples...

- My mexican friend who was looking for a nickname for his own e-mail address. First thing came on my mind, he was short and mexican. lol
Next thing I knew, I said.. "Why not, 'Little_Burrito'?" He thought about it cause he didn't have any other choice, he took it. Everytime I see it today, makes me laugh just as much as i did before.

- As for my own nickname, friend helped me change 'Goliath' to 'Gol' because everyone else called his name by just the first 3 letters. I thought it was an 'okay' idea, until i got used to being called Gol. I like it! Even though most people ask me... "Do you play soccer?" ;;

Those are my random nickname stories. I'm sure i have more, but i need to think back...

[Fëanen]

I have a friend who dubbed me Fluffy. I don't know why - I'm not fluffy, you can't really derive Fluffy from Fëanen or Eric, but...yeah, that's what I am. Meow?

I don't really have nicknames for people, because I suck at making them up.

[~~*Blondie*~~]

when i first meet someone i know i wont remember the name of i give them a girls name. Like my friend Charles his name is Joanna. and then it just sticks in my mind.

[Annie]

Whoa! I do something similar...I call all guys whose names I can't remember "Tim."

[shadowpunk]

my friends gave me the nickname "Squeakers"......it's because i'm so ticklish when someone would squeeze my sides i would jump and squeal at the same time

i also have a friend named Shanda her nickname is "Panda" for obvious reasons. i also have a friend we call "Puppy". His has the deepest green eyes (so sexy btw) and his hair has this weird calac that looks like ears on the top of his head. the only other friend i have that has a nickname that i can think of is a guy called "Monkey" when he puffs his cheeks out he is identical to a baboon

[Splash]

A guy at the campus "arcade" called me Trap for a while when I accidentally made a 4chan joke. Guess it's pretty obvious why.

My car really has more nicknames than I do, though. Since it's a yellow Jeep Cherokee it has been called the Short Bus, the Banana, the Yellow Jacket, and several others. Oh, and Splashmobile, of course.

[shadowpunk]

i just remebered...my nickname in college was Kilo Cocaine

my real name is KC (this is what my lazy ass parents actually named me with no middle name and no meaning for the initials) we used military lingo along with the fact that you buy cocaine in kilos and that's how i got the nickname. i honestly dont use cocaine nor have i.

[GoliathTall]

The only odd nickname someone gave me was "Patches"

cause they say i have a redneck like facial hair. It grows in different area's around face, its not all together.

[Delphi]

I don't really have an odd nickname since my most used nickname given to me by Chik and Jaina is Rachey-chan.

Now my car on the other hand is named Handbasket. Because when I was in Utah we were piling into my car when one of my friend's asked if we were going to "The bad place". I told him "Well if this is a hand basket, then yes. We're going to the bad place." And he yelled "Weeeeeee! Hand Basket!"

[Ize]

Hobo. A friend of mine got the nickname hobo, not in a derogatory way, but just hobo. We would be at a party and someone would scream HO and he'd go BO. (It's in spanish since I live in Peru, but you get the point).

My nickname in school was 'Loco', since everybody knew that I am batsh¡t insane. I was the local crazy guy.
And once I met the friend of a friend, and I couldn't remember his name, so I told him (completely out of nowhere) 'From now on you shall be known as Nathaniel', and it kinda stuck, so now everyone knows him as Nathaniel.
And of course there's my friend 'Bomb', a guy who 'activated' a stink bomb in the middle of anatomy class.

[ninja kitten]

hmm... well, the most interesting one (and the only one i'll fess up to you people *glare*) came from a night of no sleep and 3 super hyped up, anime-crazed, and just nutty females. so... long story short (too late!) i was Squeaky Pickle, my friend Jill was Flaming Pumpkin, and Mari was Fish Face. ^__^ (i was the one who gave them their names and they jointly gave me mine. hehe)

[Eagle]

i was nicknamed pirate when i broke my tooth
i get Adz, Ad, Adza or Jonesy as my name is Adam Jones
my father in law nicknamed me and the missus Samson and Deliah

[Renegade]

i have been nicknamed Paco, Julio, Julian, and Julian Antilope...lol (julian is my name but they pronounce the way you do in spainish, as if it were an "h"

I think the only thing close to a nickname that I got was at school when kids called me Hitler.

[nessarose]

I got b hall mama for the way I used to take care of all the drama and music kids in b hall when i was in high school. Nessarose cause blondie and i both love wicked. The vanessaed one, because we would joke about world domination and i pointed out I basically already ruled the world or at least our little corner of it so they would all be forced to bow and scrape to me in all of my infinite glory. Miss mouth from my father and bunessa from all my nieces and nephews as well as my cousins who couldn't pronounce my name. And probably my most dominat one now V simply for the fact my asian boss couldn't pronounce my name and every one had a heck of [img]http://forums.legendsalliance.com/public/ALOT.png[/img] easier time remembering a letter then my full name.

[Egann]

Ravioli. Don't ask.

[Reflectionist]

I have a friend whose nickname is Captain Nibbles....

but I don't think I have any wierd nicknames.

[31-Year-Old-From-Georgia]

I'm known to several people as The Orange or just Orange. Once upon a time, a girl I know was assigning people fruits to be their nickcnames. She asked which I wanted to be, and I suggested orange, since it was the first one to come to mind that wasn't already taken. Three years later, my name was the only one that ended up sticking.

Another one of mine is Owen. At about the same time as I received my other nickname, one girl asked me what my name was. I decided to screw with her and try to convince her my name was something else. I managed to keep my real name a secret for a couple weeks. XD She still calls me it, though.

Also, my dad and older sister have called me A.J. ever since I was a little boy. It comes from my first and middle names: Austin James. This nickname is the basis of some of my online names, like my e-mail address and YouTube account. That's not really that strange, though, is it?

My dad's Chrysler Sebring is known among my family as the Clown Car. Why? Because it's so dang low to the ground it getting out of if feels like getting out of a clown car. I invented the name within a few minutes of knowing the car, and now Clown Car's the only thing my sisters and I ever call it.

[JRPomazon]

Childhood Nickname: Binkie

Reason for the Name: My older brother was 3 once upon a time.

[D~N]

Mitch.

My name's Michael, but I hate "Mike" and "Mikey" and the like. They're too common, and if somebody across the room were to shout "hey Mike!" about 4 or 5 people would turn there heads. It's annoying. So one day I looked up online possible nicknames for the name Michael that weren't Mike-related. I picked Mitch because it's not very common. So, in a sense, I gave myself my own nickname, which is kinda lame...but it works. Not everyone calls me Mitch because I just started using it this year, but it's begining to stick. I also use "Mic" and "Mikhail" just to be different sometimes. Another reason I don't like the name Michael is because of the meaning that stems from it's Hebrew origins, "who is like God." I find it ironic and a tad awkward since I'm Atheist, but that's not the main reason I dislike it. Mostly it's because of the popularity.

I've also been called the Crazy Canadian. My friend, who is Asian, also gets quite angry when defeated by yours truely in Smash Bros. So I called him the Angry Asian. We then decided to give each other nicknames (apparently with aliteration) and so I became the Crazy Canadian do to my 1/16th heritage of French-Canadian-ness. I'm not even crazy though... I'll spare you some of the other nicknames, but just know that none could top the flatulating frenchman. XD I love that one!

By the way, the flatulating frenchman was my neighbor, whose name is Mike. Another good reason for me to want a different nickname. There's just too many Mikes in the world.

[Dizzy]

First:

Hannie-Who.
I had a cowlick the size of Texas that just wouldn't stay down as a kid.
Some would say I reminded them of little Cindy-Lou Who.




Second:

Tinkerbell.
Because I was rented as a senior in high school and the renter dressed me like a prissy fairy.
It was complete with very big wings and antennae that got caught as I tried to enter the classroom doors.

It's kind of tradition for people at my frat to get a nickname at some point, just because nicknames are awesome. So, during the last brother's meeting of last semester, one of our pledges said, "I guess I need a nickname now." Being a Futurama fan, I yelled, "How about Mongoose? Yeah! The Fighting Mongoose! That's a cool team name." And it stuck. They are now forever known as Mongoose, for absolutely no goddamn reason.

I'm proud of myself for that one.

[Showsni]

Whilst on a trip with Scouts, I was called "Nails the Gnome" for a while.

Apparently, the hood on my coat looked like a gnome's hat:


And, I'm a tad lax when it comes to fingernail cutting:

[~Celesta~]

holy crap Showsni! Clip those things...creepy...

My dad calls me strange little nicknames that he changes so often I can't even name them all...yet somehow I answer to everyone of them...I think it's because I am pretty sure I am the only one he would give a nickname to so when he says one, I just assume it's me.

Other than that I have no other nicknames...except for the few people who now randomly call me Lesta, even when we are talking in person to one another *glares at Shekey and Blondie* Not that I really mind it...just takes me a couple seconds to realize they mean me.

[D~N]
