My dad used to call me Dubba. Neither of us remember when he started calling me that or what it means, but I have it engraved on my Tiffany Heart Tag bracelet.
My nickname in high school was mom...lol the mom of the group. Ironically, later it was kiddo, because I was very young in older, male dominated field when I started work.
I never had a nick name everyone has always called me by my first name. I've always longed for a nickname. My middle name is Patricia. So I always wanted to use it since there are so many nicknames associated with Patricia but it never caught on. No, wait I do have a nick name, my husband calls me Bologna, sometimes. Did I spell it right? I find it very obnoxious so it doesn't count!
My name is Diana so I got called "Di" all the time...and "princess Di". My college friends called me this all the time but no one does now except my brothers occasionally.
Well I've had quite a few, but one of most memorable/embarassing was:
"Hot Lips" - Given to me in kindergarten by girls who thought the only reason why I would want to hang out with guys is to kiss them. It stuck till well after 8th grade!
"Pani" means daughter in my language- that's what I am called by my dad
My Inupiaq name is Katuk- I'm called by that name a lot here in Barrow
I was named after the GF of my Dad's best friend who died- Her nickname was "Vee-vee" I was called that lovingly by the community all through my life and her best friends who miss her
Close family and friends have always called me by my middle name, Bryant. If I heard my first name used by my Mom, Dad, or any of our close friends I probably wouldn't realize they were talking to me, lol. Dad calls me pumpkin head, sweet pea, and a couple others, SO calls me pumpkin head also, or woogie, and some other ones that are equally ridiculous
Bean.
It started in high school and some people still call me it to this day. It started when someone I knew called someone else named Joanna, JoJoBean. So she added it to mine and then my friends thought it was cute and cut my name off and I'm still Bean to this day.
Also, I think they all knew how much I love Tale of the Bunny Picnic (Muppet movie) and the main char is Bean.
Oh yeah, and Aspy. I used to use the name Aspasia for video games and RP games. My friends started shortening it to Aspy and it stuck.
