What does your family call you?

[Levi_Heather 0]

None of Levi's family have middle names either.... People call me Heth for short. When I was in school people would rhyme things like Heather feather.... I always hated that

[Gemmie 142]

Funny enough, my mummy called me Gemmie (God rest) hence my screenname.

My real name is Gemma but Gemmie is reserved in real life to close people.

[MrsCat 6]

I don't really have any - except for Cat. Boring. . . . .

Friends used to call me Cattatttude, because I always have so much attitude.

Cat short for Catherine.

[Carlawarla 1]

I never had a nick name until I met Gene. I was given the name Carla Marie from the time I was adopted. I was named after my Uncle Carl, who I supposably looked like. I can't remember if he was dead before I was born. He was my Mom's brother. I've always been called Carla throughout my life, until I met Gene, who christened me carlawarla. I was so touched, since I'd never had a nickname before. I love it. I love him.

I went by Kathie when I was growing up and my Dad often called me Katrinka as a pet name. Now as an adult I have friends who call me Kat, Kate and Ms. K. Joe calls me 'honey' - the neighbourhood kids call me the cat lady. My middle name is Suzanne - all of the girls in our family have Anne in some form or other in their names after my grandmother and great grandmother who were both named Anne.

My name is Amy Marie. I guess I'm lucky that my mom didn't follow the catholic tradition of having the name "Marie" come first like hers is. My uncle used to call me Mamie when I was a little girl. I've been called Aims by close friends, and now hubby calls me SweetBear or SnuggleBear. It usually includes bear and that's because I get all growly at that time of the month! ~giggles~ I don't mind though. I actually love the nickname!

When I wake up in the morning and ThomasJ (the cat) is purring away, I immediately say "Well goodmorning SnuggleBear". He makes me so happy

[SapphireDreams 71]

Hi Everyone,

My nickname is "Ant" as that is the first three letters of my first name. It started as an online instant message and e-mail thing many years ago, where I was tired of typing out the longer version of my entire name. I just stuck with the first three letters, and hence, this nickname online, and at times offline. For the most part, everyone else just calls me by my entire first name (and last name).

Throughout my entire life though, I've heard various incorrect pronounciations and spellings of both my first name and last name (both maiden last names and married last names). "Can't anybody get it right?", I find myself thinking when this happened/happens a lot in the past, present, and future. Then there are those questions as to the origin/ethnicity/culture of both my first names and last names, and how it relates to me (Especially more so the combination of first name and my former maiden last name linked together. Glad that it's better now that I have my married last name). They look at my name, they look at me, they can't see the connection, and then get this look on their face... . Lol...perhaps I should consider another name change? Or I can just wear a sign that says "Quit asking me about my name. Just call me anything you want, and I'll answer to that."

Lol..funny, this also reminds me of the time I had to get my biometrics done for the AOS. They called some other person for their turn, and I thought they were referring to me. So I went when that name was called, only to have them say, "Ummm...you don't like a man." To which I replied, "Sorry, I thought you made a mistake on my name by calling me the male version of my name instead. I get used to that mistake often, and hence, I'm used to replying to that". Realizing the mistake, I then sat back down, and the male who they called went for their turn, while I the female, had to wait for my turn afterwards....

As for the other nicknames, my husband calls me "bunny" at times (lol..don't ask me why, but he has this thing for bunnies/rabbits). And my granny, who speaks no English, used to call me "little girl" and my husband "little boy", as she couldn't pronounce my or my husband's name in English.

Ant (What's in an Ant?...A nickname/name, of course...)

Just got to thinking about this due to the off-topic time waster thread. So what nick names does your family have for you and why? Any cute nicknames you use for members of your family?

My name is Karen and pretty much everybody calls me that, except for my best friend, who for some bizarre reason likes to refer to me (as well as various other people in her life) as Arf. As a kid, my dad used to call me Ignatz (I believe after a cartoon character from the 40's), McAdoo and MacMooch (I liked to steal his food). My mom called me various weird nicknames like BeanBlossom and beanbolli. As a kid, I always wondered why my friends' parents called them angel and sweetie and things and my parents had the most bizarre nicknames for me!

In college, I was nicknamed Shefrequa by a coworker. See, I dressed in all black, combat boots and had jet black hair with blue or purple streaks, very punk. So one day, another punk chick came into where I worked and said, hey freak, to me. So at first I was Freak and then Kevin decided to make it more ghetto, hence Shefrequa!

I was also nicknamed Swamp Thing after college roommates saw me with black henna on my head, dyeing my hair.

Hubby calls me honey or baby. When he is trying to be funny, he calls me Pookie or Snookums, because it is so opposite from who we are The funny thing is, I now call my baby boy Pookie or Pookalini. I also call him Bubbe (even though he is not a Jewish grandmother) or Bubbalini. Hubby thought that was hysterical and tried to play along. Since we live up north and see moose a lot, he tried to call our baby moose-alini. However, I pointed out that I would really prefer not to call our baby after a dictator

My name's Nevada-Blue, my mother is the only person who calls me by my full name.

Aww Sprailenes, I love your name! So how do you deal with the hyphonated name on your papers ? Do they believe blue is your middle name ?

My name is Marie-Josee, and I just have everybody calling me Marie. I don't like people calling me Josee, or Marie-Jo. And since I moved here I tell people it's Marie because it's too complicated for them to pronounce my name and make it sound like "Jozeee".

I've been having alot of problems on all my applications , and I always have to remind them that Josee isn't my middle name, as they often refer me as Marie J. And of course I don't have a middle name, although I got those 3 other names on my baptism certificate with Marie in front of it. Enough Marie already
