Nick-Names, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[Nonimus]

Since many of my fellow Jubbers are getting pissed off with moaning about moaning threads, I thought I'd try something afresh: Your personal Nick Names which have been given to you throughout your life - Are they tokens of affection by your peer's or are they diabolical labels which make you cringe every time you bump into one of your fellows per chance?

Here's a list of mine:

Childhood familial nick-names:

Lambsy (earliest recorded nick-name) Pikelin, Pikey (still used today by family members) Mickey Dripping

Schoolmates:

Shep, Sheppy, (Derrivatives) Sheepsy, Sheep-shag, Sheep-dip Sheep-hard

Workmates:

Mikey, Mikey Da Jew, Mikey Jew (still used by several freinds)



So, your nick-names are_______ and are they 'good' or 'bad'

You decide (I'm off to watch the X-factor Finale)

JAKE by my uncle. Always one of my favorite nicknames.

GROVER like the little blue guy on Sesame Street. Never really fond of it.

BULLFROG... I kill and dismantle people who call me that.

JERRY. I think every dumbass, ignorant man in a movie is named JERRY... I hate it

BUBBA... the most used nickname to this day. Guess it fits since I'm a redneck from Alabama

 

[BrandonSBCA]

My nicknames on JUB

DB19
DB
CBB (Cuddly Brannie Bear)
Brannie
Brannie Bear
SBCA

Some of them I like, but I guess when you've been here for 2 years you get different types of nicknames, I don't consider any of the ones displayed above to be bad. I consider them to be the kind of names a gentle person would have.

I never really had any nicknames. My brothers, cousins and most of my close friends still call me Danny if that counts.

 

[GL]

How about, Daniel Son?

Oh crap! I forgot about that one.

Jeez... I always heard that one in high school.

Maybe that's why I forgot it.

Grover! Love it!

I forgot one, when I was a nipper my old dear used to call me Oscar The Grouch!

My uncles and my brother call me "Burr" or "Burrman."
Close family and friends call me "Wil".
Dear friends call me "Doc."
Shipmates call me "Brownie" or "El Tee."
Everyone else calls me "Putz" or "Liam."

I enjoy all nicknames, as I find all terms of endearment.

If I recall correctly, Sammy Davis, Jr. once said in response to a question about Dean and Frank's joking, he said something to the effect of "I'll worry about when they stop joking. That means they don't care anymore." Or something.

How many Jews does it take to Loose a Liam?

I've never liked any of my nicknames.

1) In the summer at the pool, I was always cold even in the 90 degree weather. Some girl called me Shiverpuss! And it stuck for the rest of the summer!

2) I was always super skinny until my mid Thirties. My swim coach called me Bones, so that became my name for years! Some people didn't even know my real name!

3) My username, gmoney was given to me by a co-worker years ago, when I was in sales and always went for the last dollar!

Shiverpuss. I love it.

You know, you shouldn't have told us this!!

I MUST make sure to save this thread!

My family called me Dannyboy growing up. MY mom still calls me that.

 

[Marbas]

'Gagga', by senile elderly family members when I was a little kid.

'Gazza', by idiotic younger brothers during teen years.

'Gary'/'Garry', by just about everyone who, stupidly, thinks that 'Gareth' is too formal (although I always tell them that I hate those two versions).

'Gah', 'Gar', or 'Grrr', (with my approval, the latter being my fave) by friends, throughout my whole life.

I used several 'noms de guerre' back in the days when I played in bands, but I'm not giving those in case anyone tries googling them.

 

[ronboy]

Ron
Ronny
Ronboy (hence, my JUB name)
Ronster (yech...)
Rhonda (a couple of very femme queens used to call me that. Hate it!)

Oh Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeee!!!!! With sugar on top?

NO! Not even for you.

 

[Nonimus]

NO! Not even for you.

Pretty PLEASE - I swear I won't take the piss out of Goths! Honest!

 

[Croynan]

It was hurtful - but i use it today just for one thing i wanted to make sure i would not forget. And i had to accept it as "my name" so as to avoid a conflict with my father's name. It was just as well, given the cirumstances. So at age 10-11, i suddenly declared my independence and said the henceforth i was to be known as Michael. My real name - and i meant it. It took awhile, but people did not refer to it again.
