Did you ever have a nickname?

Roman
I've had three

Smelly Emily, because of my incontinence- this started at school, no one wanted to sit next to me in class just in case I had an accident

Scar, because of all the abuse scars on my face
The third was slightly more welcoming. People started calling me Lady Grantham, because I loved Downton abby so much- and I even responded to it in my best royal voice.

Damn. This must have been very difficult for you at the time in school. It's something capable of making someone depressed.

I was never good enough to be given a nickname by my friends in school. I felt bad about it though because I was the only one in class without a nickname.
 
When I was born, my dad was always shocked at how small I was (I was born 5lb 5 ounces) and from the day I was born he gave me the nickname Diddy or Did and that carried out throughout my life.

Shortie is a nickname that my friends gave to me when I was in school and is now my online nickname both for forums and for gaming.
 
I headbutted one of my classmate when we fought in class and busted his lips wide open. My class guys named me hammer head after that fight.
Wow, this sounds very serious. I wonder what would have resulted in the fight with your classmate which reached to the extent of headbutting him. Do you know the headbutt could have killed your classmate and you will be tried for manslaughter? I don't like fighting anyone. I would do anything possible to avoid a physical fight.
 
Yeah. In my place, every person has two names - one nickname and one formal/official/real name that is used in all identity documents. So yeah I have a nickname. Usually, family members keep that nickname and only they are the ones who call you by that name unless anyone else knows.
If you have funny friends growing up, they will never rest until they have given you a befitting nickname that says so much about you. It's when you don't have friends in your neighbourhood when you're kids, it will be hard to see any please giving you a nickname.
 
Most often nicknames are given to the school and I was also bullied because I was the main figure for bullying in my class. I certainly did not like it, although there was nothing offensive about the nickname (pillow) due to the similarity with my last name, which I will not write. However, I knew that it was said with the purpose of insulting me, so this nickname was perceived very badly by me

Yes, there are some nicknames which are given to someone just to make fun of them and probably insult them because of either how they look, their height and skin colour. There are students who are racist, which is what they learnt from their parents.
 
When I was young, my family would call me little Greg. And the sad part is I am almost 50 years old, and my family on my dads side still call me little Greg. I will always be little Greg until they die.

P.S. my dads name is Greg, which is why I get called little Greg.
As for me, I think it's cute when an already older person is called little Greg. It's great that the nickname is not offensive. I think that you are not offended by this, or were there times when you did not want to be called that way?
