What are some of the nicknames yall have gotten? Preferably real ones and not some jokes. I know by saying that it will like make people wanna do it. But meh:
Pudge: Use to be called that. Dont know why. Especially when Pudge Rodriguez was playing for the Rangers.
Flames: In High School. Was cause I would spike up my hair and people said it looked like fire cause my hair was at a length where you could spike it, but it would be kinda curved.
Silent Bob: Whenever I go to my friends house we're always at the comic book shop his dad owns all day. I end up sitting in the back room not doing or saying anything for like (not kidding) 6 hours. This one guy noticed and called me that. A few people were afterwards. It just so happens that my name is Rob...

I always wish I had gotten a rad nickname that I could go by rather than my real name. The only nickname I got was "Keegs," and that was from girls. When guys called me that, they were automatically the gayest things ever.

First name being Richard I have often got in life these names: Dick, Dicky, Dicko*, Rich, Richie, Rick and Ricky.
For a couple of years in high school I was known as Big Rich cause well it was because I was fat.
*When Australian Idol started and I found out one of the tool judges was named Dicko that name suddenly became uncool for me so I made sure I let everyone I know to never call me by that name again.

The Don (or just Don). I got this nickname almost a decade ago at the beach. It was meant to be as an act of "respect", as I was the oldest guy of our group, but I've never felt it was actual respect. Maybe because it came from the Simpsons [Don Homer], or mostly because it was meant and used as some sort of joke/jab... Anyhow, I still loathe this nick today, and sadly it has stuck, at least among people I know from summer days.
I've tried to persuade al least the new friends to drop it, but it's difficult.
Kalle (or Calle) is another long-time nick I had. It's a shortening for my family name, and can work as first name too.

Hmm... when I was a little kid (like, 4-6 years old), people called me "Petit Jean" a lot. It is the French name of the monk in Robinhood, I don' t know if his name is different in English. "Petit" means "small" or "short" in French, and since I' m small and that my name is Jean... Anyway, it used to piss me off like crazy back then because I didn' t like people to tell me that I was small (which is fun considering that nowadays, I really don' t mind being small, and I actually defend small people* against these elitist morons that tall people are ;D), so it eventually stopped.
Also, during some holidays at a ski school, when I was like 14 or 15 years old, a guy who was about 19 years old called me "Brownie." I never understood why he called me that and when I asked him, he admitted himself that there was no particular reason (The only reason I could find would be my dark brown hair, but then again, a lot of other guys had dark brown hair and I was the only one he called that). I didn' t mind either because I found it pretty cool and I wish THIS one would have stayed.
I also randomly get called Shengele, which is the translation of "Petit Jean" in Alsacian, a dialect in the place I live. For some reason, this one never bothered me, even when I was a little kid.
Also, my friends started calling me X-tra Wurst, but it only lasted a handful of weeks.
*And by this, I don' t mean the stupid politically correct name people give to midgets, though I defend midgets as well.

Elmo, not sure why. Maybe because my surname is Elliott and they both start with 'El'. Some just call me Mo as a shortened version.

MIkey Badnews
for some reason everyone in college who could have a Y at the end of their name got one. I think we were all drunk one night and I said "I'm bad news" and everyone started calling me Mikey Badnews.

Steve-o was a nickname I had for a very long time.
Captain Cheese Beard, I am not sure where this one came from, but I know a lot of people in 11th-12th grade called me this, and a few of them still do.
Steelers Steve, in my first class at college there were 3 Steve's since I always wear a Steelers hat the professor started calling me Steelers Steve and it stuck.
The Chad my sister one night when drunk off of her ass was watching some show and saw a character named Chad who looked a bit like me, and she said you know what your name isn't Steve anymore, you are forever...THE CHAD!

I have a lot of nicknames. Shep - Shortening of my first name. Mike, Jr. - My best friend Mike is a world class boozer and poon hound, and I'm a lesser version of him. STD - My friend James calls me this because he's sure I have one. Piss - I piss wherever and whenever when I'm drunk. Good times. Adolf - My black friend Cal calls me this because of my racist jokes.

Really much it's Peapod...however...recently a couple of my friends have been putting in words instead of the "Pea" depending on my mood or what I did.
For Example:
SillyPod (when I"m being Silly) AngryPod (when I'm angry)
and things like that...it can get kinda of ridiculous...

I'm James, so I've gotten a bout every variation of it... Jim, Jimmy, Jimbo, Jimbo Jones, , Jimbob, Jimbabwe, Big Jimmy (some girls gave me that in middle school since I was one of the shortest kids in the class and the double entendre)
Then in 9th grade we had to study West Side Story in English and do pieces on it, so I played one of the Jets and put a big "J" on the back of my coat with eletric tape and wore it around like that for a day or two out of laziness. When my friends and I started backyard wrestling the summer after that, my friend insisted I manage and be known as Jimmy Jett. Tapes got traded around and other people just heard of it and it stuck. So I also became Jett, Jettster, etc. I actually overheard people say the whole Jett thing was because I was so skinny and could fly around the hallways, ducking past people, spinning around people at lockers, etc.
Also in high school, my friend began putting my name down on papers as Jim "The Anvil", Jimmy "Superfly", "Hacksaw" Jim, "The Mouth of the South" and even Jimmy "Jam". My senior paper actually had Jim "The Anvil" on the cover page as he printed it out for me as a joke and I just stapled it on and handed it in.

Penguin (the way I walked when injured) and Elvis (my hair I think?) are the only two that lasted.
Mostly it’s just Dan or Danny Boy. By the way Danny without anything after it is just wrong and should be banned.

My nickname can't be said here, as some think it's in bad taste. But let's just say that if I was to translate it, roughly it would be Grande Negro or Negro El Grande.
I was given it in High school and it's stuck with me since.

Mostly I get Macca (or Macs/Max/Maxx). On very rare occassions, I get the Macca Man. And back in high school, I got Casper 'cause I was pale (& ya gotta pick on someone, right? ).

Chainsaw. It's pretty much become my identity over the last 13 years.
Every other nickname I've had has been less than flattering.
