Middle child has been called Sister since she was born. I have to stop to think of her given name sometimes.

A kid that smiled all the time was ‘boomerang mouth’, we had Gassy Gord for obvious reasons, and I was ‘ski’ Polish heritage but didn’t have a ski in the name, so they gave me one. Military buddy had the last name of Ferries, his call sign was ‘tinker belle’ no, he didn’t like it. My dad had a friend who had polio when he was young and had a messed up leg. His bowling team nickname was ‘old step and a half’, and the plus sized janitor who wore his uniform to bowling was ‘the blue Buddha’
Had tons of friends with nicknames in the army, some quite funny.

If I'd known what my names mean, it would have been fun! First name derives from Gaelic term for marksman/spearman. Last name is German for "nail, peg or (if ya push me) stud."
Nicknames took no brains to cook up. People at work would get cute and I'd just say, "Fourth grade, dude. Try harder!"

When I was born my aunt wanted to name me something other than what my parents wanted, so she said, if he isn't going to be named whatever she wanted me to she would call me Pedro (from a character in a movie she had just seen). It stuck all through my childhood for family and friends. It was eventually shortened and now I am Pete to everyone in the family.

Stretch. Never made any sense and I hated it. One uncle still uses it and I won't respond.
I was probably around ten years old and, for some reason, asked for a box to hold file cards as a Christmas gift. Us kids chipped in and bought dad an engraver for marking his tools. He decided to try out his gift by writing "stretch" on my new card box. I immediately ripped the lid off, ran to the kitchen and threw it in the trash. Then he beat my arse for overreacting. Pretty much summed up our relationship.
My brothers called me Professor after my hero on Gilligan's Island. They stopped when they realized that I liked it.
Friends:
Carp (him and his buddy had to be the inspiration for Beavis and Butthead)
Tater
Boner
Moberry
Buttracer

One uncle called me Roho. Took years to figure out it was really rojo for my red hair. Don't have any hair now lol
Guy in high school called me bubba because he said my lower lip stuck out like the black guy from Forrest Gump. I laughed along and kept that one a while.
No good nicknames. Dad once said I was big enough to hunt bear with a switch. Kinda wish that would have stuck lol
Who's that? Switch. Lol

Boy and dumbass. Pretty much all of us brothers had the same nickname.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
