Nicknames

At Grammar School my nickname was a corruption of my real surname which I’m not about to divulge on an open forum. Since then I haven’t had one.

Pip! I love it!

I’m certain it was a proper corruption of your surname:-D

How did you come about that nickname DooD ?

Razor Ray, but only by Ronnie, Reggie just called me boy.

Let me guess, you had a sharp wit hence the name Razor Ray!
Nice nickname :smiley:

Picking up where we left OFF
(pun intended)…

What were your childhood nicknames/teasing names?

Going back to what my post said originally. One girl when we called each other by backward names never stopped calling me Eerie. :grinning: Long after this, in fact years later I was in a pub with my OH & who should be there too but this girl, we hadn’t seen each other for years yet she yelled across the bar. “Wow! Hello Eerie, not seen you for a very long time”. Everyone turned to look & I yelled back, “How are you Alemap”. :grinning: :grinning:

I inadvertently did the same Hanah… :wink:

It’s strange and kind of nice, how we hold the same nick names for friends from years back,

The boys used to call me Farrah after Farrah Fawcett Majors in Charlies Angels.(I’m a blonde)
And then when Farrah Fawcett Majors left I thought they would get another brunette to join the other two.
Nope Cheryl Ladd,who was even blonder. Anyway Farrah stuck with me until the start of college.

Mind I feel sorry for the kids that got tagged with the cruel/belittling nick name, why ! Because that name sticks, you see someone from school, Hi John… but in your head you’re calling him Green Sleeves…(Runny nose kid no hanky)

Only just realised just much a nick name can stick

Yes, you’re right! Kids can be cruel…

Thing is the boys were ok about it.The girls were the jealous ones and always saw me as a threat, and you know what girls can be like when they’re jealous.In the end I just went around with my hair tied up.I even considered dyeing it but my mum who is also a blonde wouldn’t allow me.
