What do people call you?

I was just thinking about the nicknames that people've bestowed upon me, past and present, and I realized that I've gotten called a fair few things by various people.



"Prince," because I remind some Australian kids of the musician who've begun calling my girlfriend "Princess."

"Psycho," because I used to be fairly crazy, when I was in the gangs. (Also, a Fight Club reference.)

"Poet," because I am one (and stand on the streets, reading poetry for free beer/drugs/cigarettes and to get my stuff heard).

"Bastage hoe," because... erm... because a friend likes insulting me. :P



So on, and so forth. They've all got a bit of meaning behind them, and I answer to all of them.

What names, other than your given one, do you answer to?

(P.S., "Jaron" is actually my name.)

A few guys I work with call me shorty or stretch. It's a height thing.

My friends generally call me by name or MJ.

People just call me Brandon. I was called "Whitey" when I was young due to my really blonde hair at the time. Now I'm a dishwater blonde, and am thankful that I don't have a nickname.

Sixate, what height ARE you, with those contradictory nicknames?

Brandon, what's "dishwater blonde" entail? I'm not quite sure what colour you mean by "dishwater," after all, considering the random colours my sink ends up...

My best friends call me Teeny. Cos i'm short and cos it's kinda part of my my name (Justine -> Justeen -> Teeny).

My ex used to call me Cinnabum after an interesting typo in some instant message conversation we had before we started going out. *grin*

My Dad and brother call me Heddie. For Heather. Hubby, when he first heard that thought of "giving head" sort of thing.

When I worked at a window manufacturer. I was posted at a bunker programming the glass sizes into the the glass cutting robot. I also ran a number of errands at the end of my day each day. When the supervisers (one in particular) would call me on the intercom, which was often because of where I usually was, they would call for "Heather Locklear" cause he said he couldn't remember my last name ever. My maiden name was a longer german one. I loved answering the call for Heather Locklear. lol

Now I'm rarely called anything but Heather or Moma.

Some of our couples that we swing with - the guys have called me tiger. I love that.

My Id's at most places is Brulee (often with something extra) since that's one of my most favorite desserts. I love Creme Brulee.

I get Bud, and Buddy from my parents.

Name is Keith, and when my cousin was little he would call me Keef. Therefore Keefer was dubbed.

I got roni from my mom, because of my love for pepperoni, also as a little kid.

Same cousin later decided Keister was a good name.

Im irish, and during a soccer season, I was on the skins team for practice. Casper was then given... but only my highschool friends keep that one alive.

"Spare Parts": My "father's" sick sense of humour, when he beat me as a child, he would also call me "spare parts."

"Undertaker": One of my coworkers thought the name went along with my sense of humour.

"Apple": no idea how this one came about, it started and ended in high school.

"The Kid": came about at work because I was at least 20 years younger than all my coworkers.

"Phaedrus": friends started calling me this after they read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, seems I reminded them of his alternate persona.

Funny... just how movies give you nicks, when friends somehow associate you with them.

Any particular reason, other than long hair, that they called you "Space monkey"?
