Do you have a nickname people call you at work or in general?

Question

At work I'm either called Stevie or Steve-o. I generally don't mind it as it have gotten used to it as an affectionate nickname.

I get those same generic “Steve” nicknames. My last job wasn’t much more than that. One woman called me “Crush” because I reminded her of some turtle from a cartoon or animated movie I’m not aware of, haha, but that was it. When I worked at a bar about ten years ago though, I was known as “Sergeant Swag” and “Captain Fresh”, or shortened to Swag or Fresh, because I dressed nice when I was managing lmao. That was pretty fun to get publicly addressed as😂 Actually, one of the last college parties I attended (at like 33 lmfao), my younger coworkers were hosting it, there was mostly dubstep music being played by the DJ, and at one point I broke out my hip hop dance moves from the 90s, before they were born lmao, and they had just never seen these pretty basic moves, so they were wicked impressed. I did this one thing where you kind of fall backwards to the ground, catch yourself with one arm, and then bounce off that arm to the other, and back-and-forth. Looks a little advanced but is actually simple. Anyway, that really wowed these younger kids, and a circle formed around me and the ones who knew me started chanting “Swag! Swag! Swag! Swag!”, and everyone else jumped in. That may have actually been the last time I was cool in my life😂😂😂

Depending upon the circumstances in my past... "the Professor" at the VT Police Academy and when I went to the Burlington Radisson Hotel's employee Yule Party I wore a genuine leather black 3 pc tuxedo and got the nickname of the "Leather Penguin" In college, because of being BOTH reliable and 'friend-zoned' the nickname of "Big Brother"~

I get "Masi" which isn't far from what people called me in high school in the US ("Macy").

And, of course, my name is always followed up with "-chan" which is just weird to me. When I lived in the US that was a privilege reserved for my Japanese family members because everyone else that did it was cringey as fuck.

You know how naval aviators have really cool call signs like Viper, Iceman, Ace, Maverick, things like that? It's not that way in the army. In the army they take the least favorable or attractive thing about you and that is your name for the rest of the time you're in. Cuz the guy in first platoon they called stinky. For nearly 4 years I was Opie because everyone thought I looked like Ron Howard from The Andy Griffith show.

I’m the third generation of my name. Me, my dad, and his dad,(and my first son when I get there. lol) all have the same name. Our first name name is Robert, but none of us went by that. lol Robert Sr. went by Bob, Robert Jr. goes by Rob, and I’ve always been known as Robbie. Maybe Robert IV will like our first name. Haha. I think it would sound royal as the fourth generation, and what him to be my prince.

My name’s Mark. It’s pretty short, so you can’t get much of a nickname out of it, but sometimes I got called Markie.
