Tarakán (cockroach) when I was a little kid. Deníska, but now I don’t like it, as I changed my name; I didn’t even like it at school later, as few could pronounce it properly. However, my 11th year English teacher called me Dendog. Dennis the menace (I didn’t like it at first, but later found it OK). My sister and her friend called me Denísochka and my other sister still calls me Dénya. At school, some friends decided to be Beatles and scientists, so I was John Lennon and Albert Einstein. At one group home, more friends decided to call ourselves after my coworkers, so I was Bruce. At another, a staff called me Elvis, after Presley. My real name, after I changed it, is Abdullah Isa Goldstein, or Avdiel Yeshua Goldstein.

I've been called dress shoes (while wearing combat boots under boot cut jeans, and denim dude, because I had a denim jacket in highschool. I'd have bought a leather one, but I couldn't find a decent one back then.

Lately though it's back to a blank slate.

My childhood nickname was Coobs and I still get called that sometimes, can anybody guess where that came from?

I also got called Pumpkin a lot by my parents and still do. Oh and Rabbit.

In HS I remember being called Princess and Little Miss Perfect but I don't know if they were nicknames exactly I think they were kind of compliments but mostly insults.

A prior boyfriend called me Squeegie or Squeege for short and I have no idea why.

My current boyfriend calls me Punky or Princess (yes Princess somehow appears twice on this list).

In high school I got the nickname for a female body part because we had to look up the origins of our names, and mine just happened to be that word. ONE person called me that, and it spread like wildfire. For 8 years of my life, I got called this b/c I went to HS and university with the same people. I just gave up and accepted my fate, so it didn't really bother me with friends, but when we were out places, and they'd call me that in front of others, it was 1000% embarrassing and they knew it.

melanieeeB · Answer

Yes and I do love it, nearly everyone in real life is using that as my "name"

In high school people used to refer me as “the dinosaur chick” when they talked about me,

because I had a huge butt and I used to walk with my hands curled up in front like of me like a dinosaur to stay balanced because I have a very tiny thin wrists and huge hands/palms with long fingers , my hands are literally 9inches long plus I have a short torso and long legs honestly I felt embarrassed when I found out people call me that

SaoirseS · Answer

More than I care to list, with most being references to small stature. Those who dish it out need to be able to take it. They don’t bother me, they’re fuel for revenge.

Bug... Dad started it and my mom and older sister joined in. I hated it as a kid. As an adult with all the stresses that come with adulthood, I find it a little endearing.

My allies don't see the need to add anything to my 'real' name. Only at one kiosk down the road they call me ''Papah'' (I never told them my name).

My adversaries don't dare it.

For unfairness - I do name others myself. In my surrounding you find: the Monkeyman, the Street-dog, the Duck, Mother Hen, Jungle Woman (obviously, I'm an animal lover :) ... and I'm bad at memorizing names)

My nickname is just a short and easy version of my name, since my name is long and hard for people to pronounce.

Guardian45 · Answer

Yes, a few. My parents and members of my family have ALWAYS called me one name. Friends have called me different ones, like Ing, short for Ingrate.

But one nickname caught fire and now almost all my friends call me that. If I told you the name, then I'd have to kill you.😂🤣🤪
