I don't have any nicknames for my friends. However, my sisters are known as Chatty Cathy and Poga, and I've got more family nicknames than you can shake a stick at, including Jennipooter.

I grew up with Tiggy, Muzzy, Dunc, Pocky, and so forth. I call my mother "Memo," my sister "Butt" or "Button" (guess which one she prefers) and my brother was called "Bucky" until he was like 8. I respond to at least 7 family nicknames, myself!Brehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718080604008513653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1147120392586764752006-05-08T13:33:00.000-07:002006-05-08T13:33:00.000-07:00I think nicknames are fantastic.

But I dont know if its a problem that I dont remember peoples real names after using nicknames for so long. I'm probably at the point where I have to sneak a peak at their license because I don't associate whatever their real name is with who they are....maseumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187155459751203786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1147117991278388472006-05-08T12:53:00.000-07:002006-05-08T12:53:00.000-07:00I have this problem - whatever name I'm introduced...I have this problem - whatever name I'm introduced to someone with is the only name that I will ever be able to call them. I can't shorten it (Michael to Mike) and I can't go to a nickname. I wish I could, but I can't.

Thankfully that leads to millions of results when people try to google me. That and the fact that people never have to ask me to spell my last name for them are the two benefits that I've found for having a boring last name.Mrs. Cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082235238988664221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861052.post-1147103107687376652006-05-08T08:45:00.000-07:002006-05-08T08:45:00.000-07:00Too funny!
