Storm. While studying abroad in England I joined the lacrosse team and ended up lighting some other player up (our team wasn't very good, and my experience in the states made me the best on the team). They started calling me storm, short for Bryanstorm, which is a play on the Arctic Monkeys song Brianstorm. That took more explaining than I thought it would.

Apparently, one of my school years, some immature dumbass figured out that my last name rhymes with "weiner" (My last name is Werner by the way...), and so he decided to start calling me as such.

But, he was held back for nearly 3 years and was still in the 6th grade, and I would always remind him each day he'd bring his stupid shit to the table...


Also, whenever I was living in an extremely ghetto apartment complex, I somehow got the nickname "Skittles"... Not sure how that came up, but whatever..

I earned my nickname by growing a scruffy short beard and a massive amount of fuzzy hair in 8th grade. I looked a little like the afro guy from superbad, it was wat i was aiming for

I only give people nicknames when I'm being condescending towards them.

Think you caught all that, Sparky?

I myself don't have any nicknames among people I like, because my name is like three letters.
It's almost impossible to give me a nickname that doesn't add more to it.
The awful M, it suits you perfectly.

OT: I have been called "german" because of my blonde hair,

I personally get called MudFlap, why you ask? Because i once had a massive mullet that resembled the Mudflap of a car.
That has at time been slightly modified to things like: Flappachino, Flaptain Cook, Fanny Flaps and that just about covers it..... Oh wait i generally just get called Flap for short, i kind of like it really.

Jessicus Maximus the Third, because of my incredible Gladiator performance.
It's so long nobody really uses it though...

Well, my favourite nickname is Roulette, which I got because someone said I was as hard to predict as the game.
My distinctly less favourite one is Edward Cullen. Mostly because I'm pale, vaugley vampirish and pretty damn outspoken about disliking the book series.

Well, my facial muscles don't get much exercise, so in junior school my Year 4 teacher branded me with the name of 'Frowner'.

Subsequently, in high school my disdain for the people around me grew, and some random pupil gave the nickname of 'Scowler'.

Not very imaginative, I know.

All of these have a story behind them but I can't be bothered typing them.

'Pirate'
This is earned by many attributes, not the least of which are my naturally swarthy demeanor, an affinity for rum and wenches (or I suppose wenches and mead for you fellow Alestorm fans) not to mention the fact that I wore a bandana almost every day of freshman, sophomore and most of junior year

'PH Balance'
While I didn't necessarily earn this by any means, a friend of mine has been calling me this since freshman year of uni; a play on my first and last initials I had never considered up until that point

'Glass Man'
Once, I inadvertently swallowed a piece of broken glass

People usually just call me by name. I have been nicknamed "Subwoofer" by some though.

Mine is Coolly which is a play of my last name that is pronounced cool.

I do have a good nickname story. I was out with friends one Saturday night when one of the guys dragged the hole group over to where the Hoons (people who really love cars and showing them off) where. At one point me my friends where introduced to a girl who lets say, it was a surprise that she was standing she was so drunk. When i introduce myself miss heard me called me Jully after that i was called that a lot on the way home

Birdy


I got from various friends and acquaintance, the origins of the first four are fairly obvious but I got "birdy" because I have a bit of a habit of stretching my mouth wide-open, like a bird.

"Squirt" I got from my mum because I'm short.
