I think everyone has a nickname given by the girlfriend/ boyfriend/ best friend/ whoever. What is your nickname, who gave it to you and why?

I don't really have many nicknames, but the ones I do have are really lame.:P My friends used to jokingly call me 'J-Money' in high school...don't know why. My sister and I were being stupid one day and we dressed up as cowgirls and gave each other Western names. Mine was 'Charcoal Charlie'. *hides face in shame*:P My husband calls me all the usual lovey dovey names. He hardly ever calls me by my real name and it's always a shock when he does.

My fiance and I never gave eachother nicknames, but my sister "named" her husband Pooky. Now EVERYONE calls him Pooky!!! The guys at work call him Pooky, Becky cals him Pooky (of course) his e-mail address is Pooky@....whatever, and so many people call him Pooky that we've all forgotten his real name. LOL

i dont only have one nickname.. it always depends on the friend.. some call me: ears with feet (ewf), 'cause tori amos named her fans that way and I'm a huge fan who can go on other people nerves with it LoL najara, because I used to be addicted to the tv-show xena and always was telling that the character najara, wasnt that bad and unsympathetic as most of the other xenics said (funny... najara, played by kathryn morris is now one of my fav. actress, dont ask me why.. its just that) philer, cause i was addicted to the x files since they started showing it here which was in 1996 I think.. many people were kinda shocked when I said that I know the show and love it since I was only 12/13 back then (well, nowadays ppl probably wouldnt act like that anymore... but ey, we are talking about the 90s lol) a teacher gave me the name "schlumpf" (german for smurf) after my father colored my cooking-clothes blue.. all other teachers started to call me that and some of my past-class too (the friends i have left from that time still call me -schlumpf- i guess i always was a huge tv-series junkie since i got a lot of other nicknames from characters besides najara like "missp" (not sure if someone remembers the pretender, not the band.. the tv-show ^^)
