Okay, so i know we all have a nickname, someone at any given point in everyone's life, has gotten a nickname... I have several, some i don't care to talk about, because well, their a little personal, and some kinda hurt... Some of mine are as follows, I'm going to give the nickname, and then reasoning for it, it doesn't matter if you've been called it once, or your whole life... their interesting... Ashes - my name is Ashley, i hate being called it, i just hate the name... people started calling me Ash, and i was like whatever, and then i started smoking.... Well that's when my new nickname came in... Yep... horrifying... Chubby - There's this woman who has always been jealous of me that i can eat whatever i want, whenever i want, and never gain a pound, and most of the time, the more i eat, the more weight i lose, i think it just has something to do with my metabolism. Anyways, one day, she got mad, and started calling me chubby.... Trust me, it's upsetting when you have self esteem issues.... Red - Well, people, my hair is naturally many different colors, red being the most dominant... If I'm in any kind of sunlight, that's all you see, is red.... red red red..... Anyways, people started to see this right before i started dying my hair, and that's how i got that one.... Princess - I have some royalty in my family, on both family sides, and even though their not recognized before by cancellation of the thrown or something like that (I don't know and i really don't care) My father had to tell everyone that if the thrown was still available, i would be a princess.... Yeah... thanks.... err.... and one of my most recent ones... Mrs. Steak - yes, one of my good good friends, called me that not long ago, because all i wanted was steak, thanks hun... it was cute. Though i have many many many more nicknames, like shortie - I'm 5'1'', blue eyes, Mrs. Wolf - My husband and i love wolves, and our poker names have a lot to do with the wolf, so we acquired the nicknames of Mr. And Mrs. Wolf.... i think these are some of the most interesting, and un-hurtful nicknames i have.... What are yours? Have any that hurt? please tell, and give reasons behind them if you want... I would really love to hear about all these, it's another thing for me to look forward to reading. Thanks all, and remember, i rate everything, luv y'all Ash

my nick name is handy bendy ben, i don't know where it came from at all because i'm not handy i'm not bendy but my name is ben, i think it could have been a slight joke at the fact that i kept putting shelves up lop sided as i wasn't very d.i.y orientated at the time, bit better now though.

Well I had a couple when I was kid and a couple now. Cereal - my sister had trouble pronouncing my name and it came out sounding like Cereal, so our frined started calling me that too. then they started calling me different kinds of cereals every day. One day I was Lucky Charms, the next I was Trix, and so on. It didn't really bother me. Twinkie Twin(s) - my sister and I are identical twins and our dad worked for Hostess when we were growing up so all our friends started calling us this. They still do every now and then. Punky - this is the nickname my dad called me and still does occassionally. That is also the nickname of my daughter. Goalie - this is strictly what my friends in my fantasy football league call me. I was a goalie when I played soccer. They call me this online and when we meet up in Laughlin during football season. Surprisingly the one nickname that is obvious with my name is the one I that i have never been called and that is Cher. My real name is Cheryl.

During school I was badly bullied and the nicknames people used to call me were nasty and vindictive, I was always a chubby child and because I was overweight I got teased and tormented so much, even now 20 years on I am still heavily conscious about my weight. Now the only nickname I like is wolfie which is more me because it fits. I am a nocturnal creature in that I stay up late at night, I am fury, I also protect my own and I am very wary of strangers! And yes my bark is worst than my bite too!

TC - I was called this when I was very young because I needed tender care after going through some pretty harsh stuff at a tender age. Tia - Because my nephew couldn't say Teresa and Tia means auntie anyways....he would chase me through the house screaming in delight Tia Tia Tia. Then my sister would play along. Then my mother would refer to me as Tia. Then family would refer to me as Tia because my mother and sister were...and it sorta spiraled from there. Mom/Mommy/Ma - I have seven children and a partner that often call me that. Of course, there are times that I tease my partner that I am not his mother. But hey, he seems to think it is ok to call me that because the kids do...I guess that is why. Other than that, any other nick name that I have been called would not be nice to say here on myLot. ha ha

My nickname is Nen. This name was created by my youngest brother because when he was a baby he couldn't pronounce my name properly. That's why only the sound "Nen" blurted out from his mouth. It sounds funny so all in the family decided to keep that name.

I have few nicknames when I was very young, simply because I was born fair and chubby. It has been like that. Somehow, it hurts when I started school because the little friends start to giggle and laugh when they heard my nicknames. There is this particular neighbour who brings me to school and enjoys calling me by my nickname. I soon outgrown it. Now I have a all time favourite nickname - big head. The nickname was given to me by a close friend. Not that I have a big head, it reminds me how great I am!
