Weird male "nicknames"

[elvistears]

Dude, that's terrible!  Hope yr ok.

[Between Names]

I'm okay, thanks.  Just went in for a follow-up and the doctor said I look "fantastic" for one day of healing.  Maybe 6 days and I can get the stitches out.

That's where the hero comes from. 

Its almost never applied to female military personnel, BTW.

Guys are into nicknames. One of the weirdest I came across was a guy called George. Everyone called him Henry. I still don't no why.

Do girls get nicknames I've never heard of any except in sports and even there it seems rare.

Stitches I hope you recover OK, and that is one cool  nick name. If I was a guy I'd use it all the time.

ha,  love nicknames! especially giving other people them, even if its just a nickname of a nickname they already have. i call this kid...uh, i think his name is austin or something, but i call him eddie cause he looks like a little eddie van halen.

and i just remembered, i got a friend that calls me Shepherd sometimes (usually when i'm not paying attention lol) cause i love german shepherds. so thats cool seems more like a guy nickname then a girl one! (i don't think i'm really out to him..not exactly, i dont quite know lol)

My brother's name is Matthew, but my friends and I all call him Archie.

I love how in a group of friends some people end up introducing everyone they know with a weird nickname. With some of the people I know it'd go "This is slash, gnome, tomcat and noodle"

We weren't really into the nickname thing growing up.  There were times when I wanted a nickname, like when I tried to get everyone to call me Hawkeye during my M*A*S*H phase, but it never worked.  The only people I knew with nicknames were people who hated their first names and so went with a name they liked (usually their middle name, but not always).  Like James who went by Brandon or John who went by Jay.

My dad used to call me "Slavid," as in slave + David.

I've called my son things like "Attila the Hungry," "Vlad the Inhaler" & "Frankenswine" due to his appetite. "Lord Manhammer" is another one for his D&D and gaming habits.

My parents just call me KID LOL

my ex-friend used to call me Hawkeye sometimes, but more of an insult cause i got really bad eyesight, heh. but then i'd turn around and call her Klinger...she didn't like that, ha!

Lets see.  Friends sometimes jokingly call me Moonchips because I sat on a bag of sunchips one night camping.

Aunt calls me Big-A, and My little sister Little-A  because we both have first names starting with A and keeps her from having call me by birth or preferred name.

I know one nickname I do give out for people not wanting the whole issue of names or trouble remembering.  AD which is my first and middle initial and pretty cool to

For some reason, nicknames never seem to stick to me.    Even if people start out calling me by a nickname, they eventually revert to my full name.  Even when I worked at a music store where everyone, practically, had a nickname - Squirrel, Santa Clause, Butterfly, Stash, Jonny-B, Chuckles - Not me.  I think there was only one other person who didn't have a nickname, and everyone was slightly afraid of him.

That being said, though, my extended family has been having a terrible time remembering my new name, so my uncle, for a while, took to calling me Mr. J.

Somehow in my mid 20's, I got the name Zoro.

You know that "Zorro" is Spanish for "Fox," right? 

[LordKAT]

Even if it is misspelled intentionally?

[Aiden]

Zoro like the old superhero?

Well, that does change things a bit.
