    Probably a few threads on this already, but haven't saw anything since I've joined.

    Everyone I know seems to have a nickname.. so what are yours and how did you get them?

    I've
    Tom (just short version of Thomas)
    Tommy/Barry (Tommy because she knows I hate it, Barry after one of the chuckle brothers)
    Meeharr (from my last name)
    Pervert (self-explanitary)
    Merve The Perve (only one lad, a 'special' lad calls me that).



    One day, I'm going to start a real thread, I promise

    My name is nothing that goes with kiss, my friend is just a bit random(mad)!

    Peas, few people would call me that. Never had a nickanme so at around 18 they thought they better think of something and peas was randomly said. :S

    That's pants!

    My nickname used to be "Stoneballs". It came about in after all the young 'uns, of which I was one at the time, got into that social degeneration experiment called Jackass, and we pondered what our shownames would be were we on the programme (Jesus Christ, the inanity of youth or what?). The nickname would carry prefixes too sometimes, which became nicknames themselves. "Honourable Stoneballs", "Memerable Stoneballs", "Conservative Stoneballs", and "Disruptive Stoneballs" were the standouts.


    I got some when my family lived in Galway for a year too. They were less flattering. "Spiggal" was one, based on the village that I had come from. "Doormat" another, from a lad who got a kick out of saying it. Ah well, rough with the smooth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    Judd, because when I was about 5 I wanted to type on my cousin's computer. I typed my name but I spelt it wrong without realising and saved it as a file somehow. He later found a file entitled Judd on the computer and so called me it after that and then it progressed to The Juddmeister. Used infrequently these days though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,111 ✭✭✭Jesus Juice


    A girl in my school was nicknamed after her likeness to a football player.

    Tevez.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,082 ✭✭✭Pygmalion


    I get called "Buns" due to my surname.
    Occassionally "Dr. Buns" by some close friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,032 ✭✭✭homerun_homer


    Never had one growing up then all of a sudden they arrived in their droves.
    The one that stuck is Danger - Because Jackass had a guy called Danger Ehren (not sure of spelling) and my name sounds like his.

    When I get a good slagging then someone might call me Jimmy Jams because I wear PJs in bed.

    It's not used too often now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,862 ✭✭✭✭January


    Ado by my family and friends...

    My boyfriends grandmother who is 91 calls me everything except Adrieanne or Ado... I get Aldo, Aldi, Anto etc... it's funny.

    My twin sister (who is actually not ugly and fat, despite the nickname) was called "Blob" for some strange reason. very unfortunate.
