What's your nickname?



So I saw this on the Beeb tonight

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7829013.stm

And I wondered what all your nicknames were - I've been known as
Stead
Steady
Steaders
Rock Steady Eddie
JJ
and some pretty unpleasant ones! - how about you

This was one of the comments posted by a reader of the article - I wanted to save it...

Nicknames start off at school as being just another way for children to be cruel to other children, but as they get older the names adapt and become a part of who they are. At school I was always called Daz, even by teachers, but now often get called Big Nose. At school it was an insult but now it is something that differentiates me from other Darrens or Dazs.

I was just called Daz or Dazza mostly - I think all Darrens get that.

Since my move to Bristol 9 years ago, that developed into Dazza Moo. And here I get called the JDK!

Stead calls me some pretty mean things. But they're just insults, I think!

Many ... many .. many

The usual as a kid was "Buddy" as I was the spit of Buddy Holly

Since then ... Berry, Bezz, Bezzer, Peel, Hippy, Jesus ... I answer to most things to be honest though :)

Among my friends I don't have too many nicknames.. people just call me Jackie

however, my family has many:

My grandparents came up with it, and some family members still call me Deedee Wocka.. but they even shorted that to DeeDee Wocks or Deedee

One of my aunts calls me Quinny

Another calls me Baby J (I have an aunt jackie.. so she's mama jackie, and I'm Baby J)

I have a lot of aunts... and now that I think of it, they all call me something different.

My mother cycles between calling me Jacqueline (with the french pronunciation), Jacks, and Deedee

In my family everyone has nicknames.. and nicknames for nicknames.

We're weird.

I'm in bed with the laptop... I'm being ill...

At school I was called various forms of Kazza, Kazzie, Kaz etc.
At college I was often called Kinky Karen or just Kinky, due to a song called Kinky Boots coming out when people were just getting to know me... and long boots were my favourite item of clothing. I have one or two friends that still sometimes call me that.
Early on at work I was Special K, Ka or KV.
I'm now Kazzula, Kaz or Kazza mainly...

A little I suppose.. however, she just calls me that because for a few months when I was 15, I decided I wanted to be called Quinn instead of Jacqueline in school so I told all of my  teachers that's what my name was, and they would call the house to talk to my mother about her daughter "Quinn" and she had no idea who they were talking about.

I've been called a lot of names most of which are unprintable even here...I've been searching my memory since this thread started and I honestly don't remember any nicknames...People that know me just use my name...Makes me pretty dull and boring, huh...Ben

I think Quinny should tell us about 3 things that caused her teachers to phone home.
