Most likely your mom gave it to you, or maybe just that friend you never liked, but everyone seems to have that one embarrassing nickname from when they were young. It doesn't need to be mortifying, just inappropriate for your age now, or a bit silly, although the more humiliating the better.

My dad, and then eventually my mom started to call me "Booby-Bear".

The Bear part made sense to me, because I had this green T-shirt that had a stencil of a roaring Grizzly Bear on the front, and the shirt had been around longer than me, and long story short, the paint on the stencil had started to chip away.

As for "Booby"... I truly can't think of a reason why I earned that as part of my nickname. Perhaps of my weight, I assume.

Kids also called me "Bubba-Tub" in Junior High because of my chunkiness back then. I lost the weight in High School trying to make the basketball team and the name went away.

Stella. Because my dick looks like a can of beer.

They called me 'Little Donny' because I was born with Little Donny Disease.

You want the nice or mean ones?

Haha, well the most common one was Ello or sometimes Ellie.

I didn't have a nickname in grammar school, but I did pick up the name "Puddles" my freshman year in high school when, while at some house party, the host's dog hopped in my lap, and pissed in it.

Good times.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Pooty Chang. Pooty Tang was popular around the time, and my buddies and I once enjoyed a theme park ride called "Chang". Mash the two together for no real reason and there you have it.

Noodles

 

[Rayderism]

Never had one. Though when I was single digit aged, an uncle would call me junebug.

 

[Crayon]

Jacobito.

 

[MastAndo]

Never had one. A lot of friends just called me by my last name (and still do) since it's a really unique one.

[Kenpachii]

Just my normal name, sometimes they called me dick for the simple reason it rimes with my name and i was kinda a asshole.

I was called Chucky.

 

[Chronicle]

Barney (not the dinosaur) Fred Flinstones' pal. Cause I used to always be along side my big bro. So many people called me that that after a while some didn't know my real name and told stories they heard about me (my real name as a separate person) to my face. I'm like 'hey I'm that guy too'. Lol.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

I was a chubby baby so my dad called me chubscout

 

[AJUMP23]

I didn’t haven’t a nickname I was respected not loved.

 

[Little Mac]

Shark. I had fucked up teeth and kids would point it out.

Well, let’s give you one since we’re basically family now that we’ve gotten to know one another. Do you like the nickname “Pink Meat”?

Not really.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Not really.

 

[AJUMP23]

Nobody respects that name. I would rather be feared.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Ice-T and T-Dawg

I guess they thought my name sounded like a rapper.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Chaco

Lol
My brother couldn’t say my name so it sounded like Chaco. (Francisco)

 

[jabberwookie]

This girl in elementary school said I looked like Charlie Brown so everyone called me Charlie until graduation. She even asked our math teacher if I looked like him and he agreed, so that got everyone started. Then there was the brief Tuna period when a kid associated the nickname with Charlie the tuna.

 

[Ailynn]

Ahh yes. Childhood in a public school.

I have the feeling many shared the same nickname I was designated:

Spoiler

It was the 80's and 90's - Everyone was called that back then.

Pink Meat the Impaler?

 

[Plashe]

closest I got was "Koory" which my younger sister called me cause she was too young to say right, you'd never guess what my name is from that, I used to call her "Yesa" for the same reasons, we still call each other by these names
