Do you have or have you ever had a nickname?

When I was in 8th grade, I had a newspaper route. My buddy's dad saw me delivering papers and started calling me "Scoop" - and it stuck. Even to this day (@20 years later) some of my friends still call me this.

Chico.
Me and some of friends decided to give each other nickname's in high school. I was Chico. There was also Loco, Paco, and Bloody Burrito (these were my friends). They didn't stick. Just mine.
I wonder what those guys are up to...

My name is Ross, which rhymes with floss, so I was called Ross Floss, Dental Floss or mainly just Floss. This was in high school.

In middles school my hair was kind of poofy so Fro Boy caught on.

Ross the Boss

Ross-a-Roni, the San Francisco Treat

ad nauseum

Spaceghost.

I got it because when I got hired, I had a T-shirt with Spaceghost on it and the phrase "Don't make me use the spank ray.". You can still see the top of it on my ID badge picture. :)

Mucho, BTW it's not taken from Spanish (although my ex is Spanish speaking and her maiden name means wolf) rather it's an abbreviation of my given name almost no one knows my real given name.....cause I really hate it.

When I was in high school, there were three of us within our group of friends named Patrick. So people called us by our last names. Now all my older friends call me by my last name, and newer friends call me Patrick.
