Nicknames...

[delet]

Lets see...

Harry Potter - Many people say I look like Harry Potter. It's self explanatory. (I still don't see it)
Potter - see above
Jew - I'm jewish, woo...
Wej - Jew backwards...
Freshjew - when I was a freshman and jewish, see a pattern?
seasle - I honestly don't have a clue...
B - Shortening of my name. I think I'm destined to be a 1-letter name, really.

People like to identify me by my religion despite my hatred towards religion. Oh well..

 

[Comma-Kazie]

Bernard, because I resemble the red-headed character from the "Stardust" movie. >_<

 

[Cortheya]

I just get the usual nicknames for "Griffin"

Griff
Griff-man
Griffindor
Griffith.
The Griffon
"Griff-Dawg"
There is also:
Tim
Shorty
Master G
Jeff

I have weird friends.

Griffin is an awesome enough name it doesn't need any nicknaming.

 

[Lucky Grim]

I've been called both Grim (hence the name) and Smeg (from Red Dwarf).

 

[rampantcreature]

"Buzz" was given to me in 7th grade, by my history teacher. He tended to give nicknames to everyone, and Buzz resulted as a combination of part of my surname, and him making a buzzer noise to get my attention in class. I've been using as an internet handle/name ever since.

I also had the short-lived nickname "Bazantachu" -a combination of my surname and a certain well known Pokemon- in 7th or 8th grade.

I was "C-Dawg" during a bowling game once in high school.

I only have ever let 2 people, my dad and high school gym teacher, call me "Chris" because I hate it as a nickname for Christine.

And then of course there are the typical nicknames for Christine...that I only respond to in a Czech context. I think they would be Kristy, Kristinko, etc in English. It actually took me a while to realize that I respond to different names in different languages.

"Xtine" started among my college friends. One friend realized while taking Ancient Greek that X (chi) is used to replace Christ, but X-tine is more natural to say than X-ine.

My home friends occasionally refer to me as "Tine" because it's a quick way to distinguish between the Christine and the Christina when we are all together.

Think those are all of the most common nicknames that follow me around.

 

[mcp1992]

My nickname in school was Bambi. I still have no idea why and worse of all it made it's way into the school's yearbook.

 

[101194]

Apparently, when I was a little kid, my hands were oddly large.
Mom called them paws, and I was nicknamed "The Big Dog"
I don't really mind it, honestly.

Spoiler

I'm sorry but when you said that, This officially came to mind, I watch to much of it I know.

HAH!
That's great.
If I can make people think of South Park, I'm happy.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Most people call me Ben because it's short. I'm also called Chicago sometimes for a few reasons.

The one that a lot of people know me by though is John Lennon. I got it on the first day of highschool because I looked like him. I got it from some stoner who just walked into the class, and without even 3 seconds passing, spots me in the back and proclaims I am John Lennon. Everyone turns and looks at me, notices it, and boom, school celebrity. Lasted for a few weeks, people just knew me as John Lennon. I think someone even got me a drink from the cafe once because of it. Then they realized I was more of a quiet and solitary guy with more odd tendancies so most people forgot about it. Some people still call me it though.

To name a few...

 

[sonicmaster1989]

People call me God because I told a kid that looked like Jesus that I was his father. Instant success.

 

[Schmidtzkrieg]

Everybody I play hockey with calls me Powder because I've got blonde hair light blue eyes and a fair complexion. apperently I remind them of the movie 'Powder' about some albino kid (I've never seen the movie)

Other than that mostly plays on my last name schmitty, schmiddle, schmidtit, schmidt head, bull schmidt, the list goes on and on.

 

[Spaghetti]

RossyB - Which I kept cuz I happen to like it
The Rossatron
Rossificus - A mate didn't believe that my name wasn't short for something, so they tried to come up with something...and it stuck sadly
The Marshmellow Blocker - I was goalie for my primary schools football team and I was a little bit chubby

Also, after doing a bit of DJ'ing at a party, I picked up the short lived nickname MC Numpty, which came from an Irn Bru advert

 

[Azraellod]

I'm known to my friends as Migail. I'm not sure why.

A few people call me either Az or Azrael, and there is one person who calls me Anarchist.

 

[ace_of_something]

It's kind of hard to make 'Thor' any shorter.

When I'm around my uncle (who is Thor III) or my nephew (who is Thor V) I get called Thor IV. I just remembered some of my friends occasionally call me 'Thorsday' or 'Stretch'

 

[brutus3933]

Shamu: my friend couldn't pronounce my Hebrew name properly (and I look slightly whale-like)
Wally: I am built like a wall (came just a week before the first Wall-E commercials showed up)

[seidlet]

i had a friend start calling me alex [short for my middle name, alexandria] because she thought ariel was too difficult to type. i have really odd friends.

 

[Godavari]

Well I call my little brother Fuzz (to his face) or The Fuzz (refering to him).

His name's William, and his babysitter used to call him "wuzzy" when he was 1 or 2. Upon hearing this, I recalled the rhyme "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear" and began calling him fuzzy. It just got shortened to Fuzz somehow and now that's his name to me forever.
