lots of variations of my last name.

in grade school, all the kids would whistle the andy griffith theme song when I got on the bus and I fucking hated the name 'andy' so much.

*rocks back and forth in the corner*

I need a drink. :|
lol, I'm not sure I see what you're so pissed about 😛

As for me, I got the Yanky Doodle song sung to me a few times. Some others said, "Spank it, Ankit." Those were both elementary school, and in high school and college it's always just been "Brown."
 
Kids call me "wu" even though that's not part of my name at all. Where it came from is sort of a long story.
 
Somehow I earned the nickname "chipmonk" - later, the girls, especially when flirting to get me to help them with their homework would call me "chippy."
 
People called me by my surname in High School.

I probably had half a dozen nicknames in college though. I had a Tarantino-obsessed friend who called me Honey Bunny and that kinda spread like wild fire. :|
 
satan... partly because I was (am?) a huge asshole, and also because I was the only goth in a jesuit prep school 😛

oddly enough, I've never been called Al on a regular basis (only have one friend who calls me Al, because we all used to make fun of the way she pronounced Alan.)
