What was your highschool nickname.....some nicknames are based on playing off your real name, some based on an event, some on your personality.....and some are self-imposed by people that want to sculpt their own identity.
A few of mine were:
1.) Blue Gill 2.) Gillfish 3.) Sultan 4.) Bluto 5.) Dot Lig (figure that one out)

With a Name like DeBekker You can imagine all my Nick Names I got hit with that are not appropriate for a clean and respectable site like this to be reprinted. Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
#1-Jillbeans (1963-named after a pair of rubber pants that had jellybeans on em when I was a baby) #2-Jill Pickles-another of Daddy's nicknames (I like pickles) #3-Silly Jilly (circa 1979 from being so ditzy, by a co-worker) Mom wanted to call me by my full name, Jill Marie, but I was so tiny when I was born that the name seemed too big. love....jill

Forget your name...how about where you live!

Made the mistake of wearing a tan jacket with patches on the sleeve to high school one day. You know, the same kind of jacket Norm from the TV show Cheers wore all the time.
Eighteen years later people still call me Norm...and a majority of them think it's my real name.
Got stuck with the name Vicky for a while too after an unfortunate incident in a Victoria's Secret store.

Posted by William Holohan (Member # 2514) on :
With a last name like Holohan it was just a very short jump to Hollowhead...which was quite insiteful on their part.

There was a guy in school they called "Gill-do"...but then again I was called "Dick" so you can tell what thier obsession was...I'm just thankfull I wasn;t Todd Cramm or Peter Snerch.... I was usually known as "Chab" by my real friends. Coined around the age of 12, I am still called this by my childhood friends.

Dot Lig? That was an easy one to figure out...
I got nicknamed Doctor CasMate by one of my sign making buddies which got shortened down to DrCAS for my chat nickname.
I like it.
I won't tell you what Dana calls me sometimes... and it isn't stud muffin.

I think weirdo was the nicest one I was called at school! My time at school was not a good one, thanks for bringing that all up again. I'm going to have to re-mortgage for the therapy now. JOKE Barb
Posted by John Deaton III (Member # 925) on :
Got stuck with "Tater" when I was little. I think my mom put it on me. Her little tater. My friends picked up on it and there you go. I played softball for about twenty years, and probably none of the guys I played with or against ever knew me by anything but Tater. All my friends still call me that. Truth is, I kinda like it. Posted by Bruce Bowers (Member # 892) on :
So, Bro. John Deaton...
Do you call your kids "Tater Tots"?
Hey, inquiring minds just need to know!
Posted by Todd Gill (Member # 2569) on :
Bruce, you troublemaker...just kiddin. Tater is a cool name. There was a crazed jock in high school that everyone called Potato....why I don't know. I'm surprised I never read about him being sent to prison...he was one psycho, and he loved to fight.
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
Broooce! That's MY nickname for Dave Grundy. And yours is Broooce. Love....Jill (and Steven Marcel Chartrand is great at high-sticking)
Posted by greg baker (Member # 3337) on :
We use to have a friend we use to call "showbags" because he was always full of s**t !!!
Posted by Bob Stephens (Member # 858) on :
I went through all four years of high school with the nickname of Horny. My friends would even call and ask my mother if Horny was home.
Later on after high school I was called slim. 6" 4" and 170 lbs.
Thirteen years ago here in Florida my skydiving friends started calling me BadAssBob. Still go by Badass.
Recently I'm called Bob the snake guy!
In five years I hope to be called FilthyRich.
You are what you think you are and what you are perceived to be.
Posted by Kimberly Zanetti (Member # 2546) on :
KAZ...my best friend from high school STILL calls me KAZ
Now my husband either calls me K.P. or Raven (because I had black hair when we met)...that's where I got the name "ChefRaven" that I use for my culinary stuff.
Posted by Ian Stewart-Koster (Member # 3500) on :
Cossie, then Kosciusko (the tallest mountain in Oz), then Zit (more pimples than anyone else at school), then Stewey (as there were four Ian's in our grade) Stewey stuck for most of it, although Stewey-Zit hung around for a bit!
Posted by Jon Butterworth (Member # 227) on :
With 25 letters in my given Christian names and Surname ...
Jonathan got very soon sortened to Jon
Butterworth ended up "Butts"
I won't tell you what my middle name got shortened to !
Most my parachuting mates called me "JB"
Think the "Bushie^" nic came from having a beard and living "out west".
My sister-in-law Faye has the best one I've heard ... "Fondle" ... go figure how she got that
Posted by Monte Jumper (Member # 1106) on :
My christian name is Michael...and my stepdads last name was Montgomery ( whos name I used as a child growing up).
In the fifth grade there were 5 Michaels in my class and my teacher decided enough was enough.
One became Mike...one Mikie...one Mickey...one Michael and I became "Monte".
I guess it stuck!

Posted by Tony McDonald (Member # 1158) on :
In high school it was Little Mac, Old MacDonald, Ronald, etc...
The boys at the last place I worked called me "wormy" That one stuck for quite a while.
Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
Vroom Vroom - because the track announcer could pronunce my name right and it rhymed with his version.
Airhead - because all my early work was done with airbrush.
Rembrandt - becuase iwas the first one around doing senic murals on race cars.
Rapid - because I could whack out door numbers fast.
Worst was my dad..."Raymond Michael" It wasn't a nickname, but I sure knew I was in trouble when he said it.
Rapid
Posted by Sheila Ferrell (Member # 3741) on :
LOL Eric!!
Mr. William ... You ain't ever been called "Hot-lips'??
LOL. I think of M.A.S.H. every time I see your name.
Posted by Kissymatina (Member # 2028) on :
Ray, you forgot your latest, letterhead-given name, RABID!
Posted by Jillbeans (Member # 1912) on :
....coined by me of course, like The Impekkable Pekka. And my Head nickname is The Panel Diva, given to me by Pat Welter! Love.....Jill
Posted by Leonard Sappington (Member # 4562) on :
Well, I was "little Sap" as upposed to "Big Sap" and there was also a "Sap" and we all answered to "Mr. Sap"
Question to the riddle: How many boys did Mr. Sap have ?
And then later on, about the time I bought the BIG BOAT I became "Captain Leno" and that has stuck... That also has something to do with my other hobby of Treasure Hunting... yes, I know it sounds goofy, but you should see my coin collection, and last week alone I sold over $1400.00 in White's Metal detectors.
Now, I have another Nickname that Some of my Camping Buddie's call me and that is "Streamline". And that's got something to do with the way I camp.. I have every Non-Electric Appliance known to man, I have went to GREAT lengths to acquire some of them.. But Rest Assure, I can take off in the Middle of January to the middle of the woods in well below zero weather, and have all the comforts of home including fresh baked goods IN MY TENT with absolutly NO ELECTRICITY !!
I really think the person who coined me with Streamline actually ment Airstream... but what the heck...
