Nicknames! What have you been called- dished out?

[gingeman]

Hi!
A recent text from an old mate prompted this:-
Bit of a fun one this. My real name is Chris, but throughout my life I believe I have possibly had as many nicknames as anyone I've ever met. Most stem from my hair colour I guess, some have stuck for just a few days/weeks, whereas others ("Ginge") have become more commonly used than my real name.

Here is a selction of names I have been called, with reasons listed where not obvious :p

Ginge - what all of my mates call me and have done for years...
Ginger
Gingeman
Gingeroo
Ginger prince
Ginger pubes
Rusty
Rusty bo!!@cks
Duracell (a big one in school - looked like a battery in my uniform)
Hucknall (after Mick- a fancy dress night that was hard to shake off)
Meggo/Megson - (after failed, balding premiership manager Gary- started about a year ago as my hair began to leave me)
Popeye (an infection in my arm swelled up)
"Evans" (Chris Evans)
"Scholsey" (Paul Scholes- usually at football)


to name all I can remember in a 5 minute effort. As you can see they're rarely that imaginative. A few have had to be excluded owning to this being a family environment. I have also coined enough for other poor sods too mind...

I was wondering, what nicknames other member's here have, especially any that have amusing anecdotes attached. One of my mates has been called "naughty pikey" for years due to a particularly amusing incident involving eating biscuit crumbs from a dirty floor when pissed....

Let's hear them!

I don't really get called a nickname since my real name is just 3 letters, but if anyone has a good nickname for me, give me a PM :hehe:

Mike
Dweeb
Geek
Nerd
Hacker (wtf?)
Maker Of Viruses (again, wtf?)

(Although Joseph did once believe i was Morphmaster by name?)

My friends and I dish out a bunch to each other. They don't really have an actual connection to a physical attribute or anything like that...they're just strange things that we call each other for fun.
Here's a few: Big Perm, Champ, Chief, Boss, Dragon Slayer, Nigel....those are some of the popular ones.

Its a good point actually~ I even have a few that have no relation to anything about me- my dad has called me Fred since pretty much the day I was born, not sure if him and my mum argued over what I should be named and this is his way of protest, or if he is just too old/lazy/forgetful/smartass to call me anything else.

Another he uses occasionally is Blodwin, no idea why, but its quite a funny name.
:p
