Nicknames: How many do you have? Which one do you use the most? Where did they come from?

I have many, many, many nicknames, but my most common is Maira, or Maira the Panda.
It's an online nickname only, no one in real life calls me that. I got the Maira from Maria, which I like, but Maira sounds cooler. It's pronounced M"EYE"-rah. The Panda is a slightly cruel description of myself, which I came up with. I'm chubby, have fluffy hair, look cuddly but will bite your hand off, am very pale and wear black often, and I know that everything (moral) in the world is a shade of gray.

Your turn!

'Sayuri Kajira' was a name given to me by a good friend-- so I use it a lot online.

'Princess'

'Strawberry'

'Sugar Boobs' -- Don't ask.

Not many actually, Nick, which is my preferred name over Nicholas, given to me by me. Jowy, which is the name of my main char from an original story, and Nicky, given to me be by LFG's very own and my beloved Sayuri Kajira.

ephie (originated on the forums here)

Siegie (nickname in real life)

i think thats about it

Did I start that? cause I don't remember

Gigs/giggle/giggledrop....think a few of you know why >.>

Chels is what most people call me

I have more, but they're word play with my last name and I really don't feel like sharing those

you, Sayuri, envi, all the jibberjabber girls contributed to it

Nilly is short for my full username, Niltiac Tsegrah.

I've been called Nelly by Ephie up there.
Wolfie (Short for an old username that I only have on one message board)
Caity
Cait

And a friend of mine frequently calls me a bitch. -__-;

My mom calls me Lulu-Belle. (A play on of my first and middle names: Lisa Lynn)

Richie- is my prefered name over my actual name, Richard (I'm not going to say my full name)

Ricky- one of my teachers calls me this one

Dick-... a few people call me this

↑Tex

hhh (short for hhh221)
H3 (short for hhh)
H (Short for H3)
Weasel (from Uga)

dont forget, i call you 'tripleH' ^^

I call him Tri-Pod H.

Whenever I see his name I call him Triple H as well, which in a way is odd for me since I am a WWE fan and there is a wrestler who goes by Triple H.

Havn't gotten around on this sight enough to have a nick name.

My guildies in WoW call me Hal when we're not RPing, it's short for my character's name, Haliron Blazingsun (yes, I gave him a surname).

And my RL nick name is Pope John. Because my name is Paul and I'm Catholic.

If you wanna look at WoW nicknames included then I can add Roc, X, and Dark (prior to my Warlock's name change when I moved servers with her) Hell, I still call her Darkbreeze sometimes even though her name is Schalaa now.

In real life, my family calls me Tony, my sister calls me Ants when she wants to sound annoying, and I insist for my friends at school to call me Anthony A, b/c I hang out with two others. The WoW nicknames for all my characters are Wyrm, but sometimes people call my Warlock the cookie man... b/c he bakes the competition!
My nickname on the Steam community is Verd, short for Verd'ego. What's odd is I chose a name not remotely related to any of my others, it just sounded a good idea at the time. The Games and Entertainment thread gave birth to DC and Death, as my name is too long for some people's tastes.

From a reliable source... I discovered HHH is that wrestler who is constantly pantsing the other guys. Yet rednecks love that kind of homoeroticism. Hrmm.

As for me:

Rye bread/Rye toast - A friend's dad always used to call me that, always in good fun. I kinda miss being called it.

Rye - From people who are too lazy to pronounce the extra syllable

Ry-ry - I think Angel/Demon was the first to ever call me that actually. Recently people on the forums and in RL have been calling me that too.

Rhine - One of my friends used to always pronounce my name too fast and just skipped the "a". It stuck.

My main group of friends and I had this whole thing about each of us had a nickname. We were Moose, Mick, Butter, The Gnome, Red, and Crumpet. I'll leave it to some of the people here to guess which one was mine before I explain anything.

Matt

Tater Bug

Chucky Wally

Not that any of these have anything to do with the color blue.

V, due to my occasionally introspective posts


Sirics, due to an old Iksar Shadowknight I had on EverQuest II for a while


Romain Skullcarver, for a level 74 ogre guardian I still have on EqII


Skass, due to an Iksar Necromancer I named after the Iksar Lord on Lords of EverQuest


Croc, for an Iksar monk I had on EqI


Shaggy, due to my hair


Tork, due to a dwarf berserker I have on EqII by the name of Torkluf Axebeard


Rom, short for Romain


Knight Skullcarver, how Romain is currently addressed in his guild


Sez, short for Sezisk, an iksar skeleton bruiser on EqII


Jimmy Hendrix. Looooooong story.


Treviticus. Even longer story.


We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive, We do not forget. Expect us.

Amongst my non-trekie friends, I am THE Trekie.

Amongst my friends who were fortunate enough to be there at the begining of my (exagerated) super-hero career, I am the Mighty Hanner.

and after the premier of the new Star Trek movie, I am known to the ladies as 'Mr. Spock'

I don't have too many offline ones... My mom'll call me Babydoll or Babygirl sometimes. When I was a baby, I was dubbed Squeaky because I would apparently squeak rather than cry normally. A bit more at-random, I've been called Chi Chi, Coconut Prostitute (yeah, I don't know either), Crazy Lady, Chica, some man-name I can't remember, and others I don't particularly recall but never had any importance anyway.

Online I've had a several different screennames that spawned different nicknames... The ones that got used most were:

Novalyyn - Nova, Nov, and Novalynn if you count the constant misspelling
Dragon Moon - DM, Moon, Draggy (it was just one guy who'd always call me that)
.+Destiny.Eclipsed+. - DE, Des, Eclipse, Destiny

My roomie's gotten some more amusing ones, most of them psuedo-alterations of his real name. I'm not sure about before I met him, but name's I've heard him called (or have called him) include: Tedd, Teddybear, Theodore, Tedmet, Meathead, Rufio, Umbra, Umbrascitor, Darkstorm, The Banana Ninja Guy

*gasp* How could I forget that I'm Tex?! Don't forget ↑Church

And Sayuri calls me Gibbles
(that still makes me laugh)

I finally comprised a list of all my nicknames:

Lulu-Belle

Allen

Aya

Leelee

Elle

Loopy

Sayuri

Yuri

SK

Lambchop

Lisafarian Mastacarian Bugga-Boo (My dad is so awkward)

^ Is that last one a play on Dot's full name from the Animaniacs? That would be much more awesome if it was.

It is. My dad heard it and had to use it. He writes it on all of my cards.

I don't have many offline ones except Tay or T cause well those are the letters that start my name.


Online
Blod
Bloddy
Crazy Psycho Maniac(not used often cause its long)

My nickname is Koriat - it's my online name. ^^ Pronounced "core-ee-AHT", it means "Black Fire" in Elvish. I'm also known as The Wall in soccer because I'm a big girl who's afraid on -no- one. Or 5, which is technically my name (it's my middle name, and no joke).

I have some rather stupid Nicknames, Imo, but that comes along with having rather stupid friends. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Dume - Something to do with my last name. I don't know, I block out unpleasant periods of my life.

Kiwi - My Aunt made it up when I was a young child. It stuck for five or so years. Now that I think about it, it may have something to do with my first name.

Jade - Among my RL friends, it's my middle name. Among WoW friends, it's a short form of two of my characters.

Slaeh - Short form of a character.

Anon - Short form of one of my many names.

Rorsch/Ror - Short form of this name.

That is all, I believe, although I may be forgetting some. If I can't remember it, it's obviously not very important.

To my friends I am mostly known as Lex, which is short for Alexis and makes me think of Lex Luthor. I periodically get called other things.

Closer friends, family and exes call me Lexi.
One grandfather calls me Grubbins while to the other I am Munchkin or Sweetie.

My step-father's side of the family has this thing where you call anyone younger than yourself Tad and a popular saying amongst them is "What's wrong, Tad?" Not entirely sure where that comes from, so I may be missing something.

I am periodically called Leftovers as an in joke in my group of friends (listen to the song Breakfast by LeLe and you'll get what our nicknames are, though mine isn't in the song. My friends all got Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Midnight Munchies before me) or Shorty/Shortstuff/Tiny/Midget/Old Hag/Old Lady/Old Woman. Im actually pretty tall (close to 6 feet), slender and rather young. My friends just happen to all be around 7-8 feet tall, kinda heavy and a little younger than myself. I found a gray hair once, caused by stress, which didn't help once one of them noticed while messing with my hair, which they do because they're larger than me and Im usually too tired to care when they decide to mess with my things.

On one multiplayer game, which is really just a glorified chat room with avatars (it's not too horribly well known and the avatars are not humans) I still get called Kira by a few of my older online friends since it used to be my username, now Im just Show, since my new username is Showtime.
And once or twice Im called Necro, if only because I really like the undead.

On various forums there has been debate on how one goes about saying my username.
I honestly dont know, so it's usually up to whoever happens to be reading it. This leads to nicknames.
On one I was referred to as Chewie (my username has nothing to do with Wookies FYI) while on another I am referred to as Shwinty, the last one I've adopted in real life and refer to myself as Shwinty a lot more than I'd hope.

I really like the name Shwinty. It's like, my thing now.
SHWINTY NEEDS FOOD BADLY!

Ugie - because of my screen name here

Teddy Bear - obvious reasons if ya know me in person

Kuma - Japanese word for bear

Big'n - Im a big guy, duh

Heavy Duty - Same reason as above

Hercules - I'd rather not say *blush*

edited again

My nick names are,
Bunny ( My husband gave me that one)
Xena (High School nick name)
Drunky (Ren Fair nick name)
Gracie (Short for my real name)

Thats all I got for now.

I completely forgot my DnD name Drac. I was short on time and I was playing a Dragonborn Paladin. Nobody has yet to call me that outside of the game because I only used it for the 4-5 sessions it took for my group to overcome the first dungeon. It consisted of me, my mom as a elven cleric, my midget little brother as the halfling rouge, his friend as the elven mage, and one of my close friends from middle school, Timothy as Tim the dwarven warrior. My dad played a mean DM since he played multiple characters back in college... I'll probably reincorporate the name into my arsenal the next time I play.

Before I forget..

Barrel Throwing Ape (from zoid)

Caboose (from church and tex)

Masakatsu: Means true victory, part of the phrase Masakatsu Agatsu, meaning true victory over oneself, a joke involving my ability to beat someone silly in the ring, but trip over my own two feet on the way there and back

Sir: A lot of my friends have nicknames. When the ex asked them what mine was, Rat answered, "Sir". It stuck.

I've had so many nicknames over the years...

Steak: Joke about my last name...

Fangs: I have... unusually pointed canines

King of Pain: yeah... I used to get picked on a lot because I was "weak". and then I wasn't anymore. I have a tendency to be extremely vindictive.

Demonbastard: I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure my RPers call me some variation of this behind my back.... I like making tremendously difficult villains. >:)

Soooo many nicknames...

Well, IRL I don't have many, just any cutesy variation on "short" (shortcake, short stuff, SS [strawberry shortcake]) and ... um... Crack Rabbit. Heh. I got that because I'm ridiculously fast and I "just keep coming like somebody on crack." (Long story.) I begin to suspect it was also due to my size, as rabbits are fairly small...

Here I have had Ray and Sparkles (Ray was actually a popular nickname for me when I was known as Raven [Ravenwitch, King, no need to panic]), and I've also had Sage, Sagey, "Honey" (ugh, that one transferred to RL for a short while), Sagey-chan. On WoW I've had Char, Cat, Cath, Xei, Ray (see?), Q, Quillz (from Quilla), Crow, Kat, Temp, Tempy, Can, Cana... that's about all I can remember.
