Who do you remember as having the funniest nickname(s) when you were growing up?

Question

Either family members, friends, or acquaintances? I remember a guy being called 'Sodie Pop.' I suppose you know, he drank soda pops like they were going out of style.

Answer 1

Yes I didn't have one,but my brother was called Chucker. His name is Ron,so don't know where his friends got that. One ,a short guy was Tadpole,and also Rimples. Have an aunt Dill Pickle,& she is an old sour puss,too,so it fits! one guy,last name Martin,was called Farty Marty!

Answer 2

A girl in my junior high school was called Cookie. This was in the 50's. Even then I thought that was very degrading.



Obviously, I have a nickname - CurlyQ - it was also my CB handle in the 70's. Until a few years ago, I wore my hair in a natural (afro) for 30+ years. Now it's straight as a board - I guess I need to change my handle on here!

Answer 3

A little chubby boy in my neighborhood was caled "Punker " I never knew how he got the name though. I guess i was young enough that I didn't really care. I was called "Kitty Kat " and I use to get so angry over it. I was a rebel back then and I usually put a stop to it when I'd catch the person. HA HA Now, with age i've mellowed and I don't mind it at all. But, no one ever calls me that anymore

Answer 4

Not a nickname but one of the boys in my grammer schools

real name was Valentine Schooly. Boy did he have a hard time with that one. Especially around Valentine's Day. Last name was up for razzing too. He was a nerd on top of that and also had a wetting problem. (he was all the time wetting his pants) That guy was a mess.

Answer 8

The little girl next door had the strangest nickname, I forget

what her given name was, because, everyone called her,

"Peedie". I never asked where the name came from. Now that

it's come back to me, I wish I'd asked. Her brother didn't even

have a nick name. It's strange he didn't, I think, since his

sister did.

Answer 14

Two guys I ran with when I was a kid: TOOT and JUNE BUG. In the Navy one guy LOVED root beer. Since the soda dispenser machine was available 24/7 on the air craft carrier we were on (USS Nimitz CVN-68), we always had 3 pitchers of soda in our office (root beer, Coke and a 3rd). This guy's nick name was ROOT BEER (his real name was RUBIO). Our acting Leading Petty Officer for our division on the same ship was named ABELIDO, but his nick name was ABBA DOO DOO. On that ship my nick name (besides Andy) was Pappa Smurf (someone got my foul weather jacket and stenciled it on there). The repair person who worked on the pier forklifts only knew me as Pappa Smurf. She had to get in touch with me one day and I wasn't on the pier. She went to the mid-ship quartedeck and had them page "SK1 PAPPA SMURF, LAY TO THE PIER."

The military can give funny nick names at times. I was stationed with 5 different Mullins and each one was called MOON (after the character in the old funny papers). Then there was Stoney Burke (after the old time cowboy), Digger O'dell (after the undertaker in the Life of Riley), Hoot Gibson (after another old time cowboy). One of the female sailors I was stationed with was nick named Spike (never knew why). Then there was one of the Bos'n Mate senior petty officers, Momma Boats.

When I was in Antarctica, the guy that ran the main warehouse was called Big John (the phone would ring and he would answer, "Big John's Warehouse, Big John speaking.") One of the other store keepers answered one day, "GSK warehouse" and the caller said, "Oh, I got the wrong number," and hung up!

One of the young ladies who worked for me stood about 4'11"...her nick name? STRETCH!
