Did you have a nickname in high school or at any time during your school life? If yes, why this nickname?


People called me "Jackie Chan" all the time in the US in high school being the only person there with Asian blood (I'm only half-Asian, but my Asian side stuck out) besides one Vietnamese girl being two grades.
One reason is because of my Asian side but another is that there was this guy who kept challenging me to fight because I got a reputation for being Asian and knowing martial arts (I didn't except some training in boxing and kickboxing).
So one day at recess, the students all gathered to prevent teachers from seeing and he charged at me and tried to do some jump kick. Then I don't know exactly what I did but I reacted in a knee-jerk way and just sort of put my hand out to try to block it. But I clumsily grabbed his leg and flipped him around into a backflip face-planting on the ground.
Then everyone was like, "Wowwwwww! Holy shit! Don't mess with that dude!" After that they kept calling me Jackie Chan. It was annoying and also I didn't even do that on purpose. It was just like a lucky accident. 😂 But the name stuck ever since.
[*] [...] besides one Vietnamese girl being two grades [below me, like she was freshman when I was a junior].
Cool nickname though🙂
Unfortunately that reputation lingered around me even though I kept telling people I don't know martial arts and I don't want to fight. So later I ended up getting beaten up by the captain of the wrestling team. Like that one incident made all the toughest guys in school want to challenge me to a fight. I hated it. 😂
Wow, that’s bad
All's well that ends well as I see it! But my high school days were quite crazy. Also became a big fan of Jackie Chan, maybe in part being called that all the time. 😂 This is one of the greatest fight scenes of all time in my opinion (wish I had those stunt skills):

no other nicknames than those for my actual name... Jonathan Santiago
Nathan being the most usual, which is why I use it here... although, some at school would also call me Thiago and some girls would call me Jonah... lol
@7Phoenix7 Phoeni 🤗
@NathanDavis I like Jonah😊
little redhead... a nickname given to me during an accidental encounter with mafia men, a longer story I described somewhere on this forum :D
sometimes carrot or iskra, which in Polish means spark, because I have red hair
Dangerous woman😁
I like them all😊
Smiley ☺️ because I can be a little shy and when a teacher calls on me in class I just smile I can't help it.
Cute nickname🙂
Thanks 👍

Yes, during my last two years of high school, I ran errands, fetched books, notes and orders from the burger joint across the street from the school for several of the female students whom I knew had boyfriends and were having sex regularly with them.
When two of them began having me give them pedicures on the front steps during lunch hour, the guys started calling me, 'Loser'. When I was dutifully applying several coats of red lacquer to one particularly attractive young woman, and the lucky guy who'd been dating, bedding and sharing physical intimacy with sat down next her while I was pampering her luscious feet, I became the laughingstock of the entire school overnight.
werewolf
white fang
wolf boy
angel faced devil
i had 1 friend who was a huge 7 deadly sins fan, he came up to me with the nick name of '' wolf sin, sin of violence/ferocity'' (he was raven sin, sin of wisdom/intelligence)
I like them all🙂
Ok👍🏻
I did but it was more my brother's friends that called me it. They called me LT or Little Travis. I didn't like the Little Travis but didn't mind just LT. I tried to get LT to stick in middle school and Highschool but it never stuck with my friends. So I'm just Drew
I like LT too🙂
Lol i use to love it, i didn't at first but I got to the point I enjoyed having a nickname with my brothers friends made me feel like one of the guys, I was 6-8 years younger than his friends. But I always got mad when they said Little Travis not LT, I think they did it on purpose lol
I feel you😁
Yes, in high school my nickname was
“Gangstera”
Of course - Jokingly,
When we wrote a Graduation song, they sang about me right in the Chorus.
I wasn’t really a Gangster, lol.
I was an A student,
but nobody ever messed with me, I was friends with both, bullies and shy kids and I was kind of respected but loved at the same time.
I take pride in the fact that I’ve never bullied anyone, I was always protecting the weak.
Cool nickname🙂
I could throw a baseball 90 miles an hour in high school despite being five-seven,122 lb., about two inches shorter and eighty pounds lighter than today, so I was called "The Whip." I was briefly called "Butch" as a boy (my five-four cousin, Otto W. White, Jr. bears the nickname today.)
Lovely🙂
I had a time at school where I was called Mateus, it’s Portuguese for Matthew, however that’s not quite the reason.
Ok🙂
My family calls me scooty because when I was little and still crawling I would scoot on my butt instead.
So cute🥰
I like the new pic❤️
Thank you. Decided to post a no makeup pic. Guess I'm trying on my brave panties today 😂
You look lovely😍
Thank you
Scooty & The Blowfish!
Sorry, I’ll see myself out…😅😅😅
I was scooty but now I'm the blowfish
Hey-OOOOOOOOOOOO *rimshot*
*rimjob*
The lighting mainly.
Thank you @Jennz6
Most of my friends called me, Bexter 😆 A few people called me, Rebecca, because they knew I hated it!
Why Bexter 😁😁
I like Rebecca name😊
Because of that crime show, Dexter. Lol I never did like Rebecca, it’s an old ladies name. My neighbor started it because he knew I hated it!
Dexter then, because I really liked the show😁😁
I meant Bexter, very cool nickname🙂
I actually didn’t mind it. Originally, my friends called me, Bex, kinda short for Becky, but then one of them really liked that show, so she added a T, E and R at the end of it. I have never watched the show, because shows like that freak me out! Lol But I have heard it is really good.
Yes, it's a pretty good show, but if you don't like crime shows, it is not for you 🙂
@elena_stewart
"Melons" which I naturally absolutely hated.
I'll leave it to you to work out the meaning of the name!
It is a secret🤐😁
Sorry😁
Noooo
IN School----Big Boobs. lol Offline as Time Went On, "Paris" For it was Easier For The Egyptians To Remember and just I Carried It Through Online. lolxxoo
I like Paris more❤️
Yes, but unfortunately it would give away my last name and there are too many psychos on here to do that😂 But it was a reference to a movie where the main character has my same last name.
Tell me please I want to know what it was🥹
I won’t tell😁😁
Nice nicknames😁😁
By mistake sorry😁
They still call me “Tits” lol I suppose because they love 💕 my boobs 💃💯
Gotcha😁
I sported a lot and had toned arms. So they called me "muscle ball"
Cool nickname🙂
Now it is. In school it was more 50/50. You have haters and lovers for a muscular female arm.
Gotcha🙂
Zen man and I was called that because I'm a very laid back individual, zen if you will.
Cool nickname🙂
Birdman and Forest Gump. Both were the way I run.
interesting 🙂
Hulk (for my strength) and Window Cleaner, Car Washer - eastern european stereotypes lmao
