Parents' nickname for you when you were little |
|
and why.
Me: Woodchuck (don't know why) and Blue Beetle for a hooded blue jacket I always cinched around my face.

3. Emmy. Short for my first name, which is Ember. |

In fact, I didn't know my name was Ember until about third grade. I always assumed it was Emmy.

79. Nah, we're all French-Canadian |
|
The reason she started calling me that is really weird - in the disney movie "Lady and the Tramp" there's a scottie dog with a thick scottish accent, and he says "bairn" at some point, I think it's during the scene when he's trying to explain "the birds and the bees" to Lady. My mom heard it and decided to make a cutesy rhyme with my first name.
I also have another nickname - beaner. This one is sort of a rhyme with my second name. My Dad's side of the family (Dutch and English) invented this one. This is also, as I just recently found out, a derogatory term for Mexican-Americans. My family is very strange. :shrug:

13. My parents had a neat technique for determining baby names |
|
They would say a series of names until they found one that made a baby squeal with delight. That became the baby name. Thus, I became snicklefritz (a germanic surname), and my sister was kickapoo (an Indian tribe).

My dad's mom did that. And she had 9, so it got a little difficult!
Plus, they all had nicknames.
Newell, Zora, Naomi, Cal, Lois, Joan, Hope, Gerard, and Judith became
Bum, Oah, Omi, Binky, Loie, Yan Yan, Hopie, Ward, and Judy.
God only knows how that woman kept her sanity for almost 80 years. FSC

I really need to ask why, don't I?! While dating my husband he used to call me Stinky (I honestly don't think it was justifiable.) Recently I asked him why he doesn't have a pet name for me - so now he calls me 'the.' Probably as in 'the wife' which he knows I hate. Special, ain't it?!

Mom gave me "duck" because I was born with a dislocated right hip that caused my foot to turn inward at a 90 degree angle; I needed splints to correct the malady. Besides, I began walking when I was 6 months old, and because of my dislocated hip, Mom said I looked like Donald Duck when I toddled about.

Because when I was learning how to talk and someone asked me my name, I couldn't say "Cindy Fisher"
My dad is the only one who ever called me Ninny Feesoo, and I was probably 18 before I ever put two and two together. I had never really thought about where he came up with it, and one day I did start to wonder, and it took me all of a half second to _get it_ then I felt dumb for not knowing sooner.
I grew up babysitting and the one I was closest to, I watched twice a month from the time he was born until about age 3 and he grew up calling me Ninny. Actually, it was one day talking to my fiance (now hubby) about Kaleb and how he always called me Ninny that I realized why my dad did too.

and we'd both obliviously clamor to claim the status of being his number one fuck up.

85. I used to call my brother Mr. Pio Pio |
|
In reference to chicks. He used to get so STEAMED up about it. ahahah.
I never had a nickname. They used to call me the Kangaroo, because I was the unbeatable Sack-Race jumper, and a weird jumping style that beat even my school's teacher.
We had a 6 school olympic style race, and I won it too. Before the race, my uncle told me he'd buy me an Empanadilla (dough turnover with meat inside) and a Coca Cola. Baby...I was gonna get me that Empanadilla! I won the race.

Really mad she would call me by my given first and middle names....
Ballistic...she would call me Robbie...
She, also, called me Robbie as a nickname of endearment....
Go figure...

I was the fourth girl and when my mother was pregnant with me, they referred to the unborn fetus - me - as George. Some relatives call me Georgie to this day. Had to insist they call me by my given name in my 20s. The cutesy BS was becoming anorexic.

98. The contrary little quail |
|
WHich, apparently, is a children's book I can no longer recall.
Because I loved to argue with everything. To this day, my favorite thing to ask is "Why?". Somebody tells me to do something and I always say "Why?" (even to my boss which no doubt drives him crazy). Just a knee-jerk response I guess but I need an explanation for everything.

That's what I usually got. That's what she got for having 4 kids who drove her crazy.
