Nicknames
Anybody here have a cool or crazy nickname?
I have two.
I am called Spike by a lot of people. A nick name that was givin to me by a former NASA employee if you can believe it.
I am called Pockets by a select few. A nickname I picked up as a result of carrying all of my tools in my pockets. Not just screwdrivers and such, but larger things like impact wrenches an mini sledges.
Those are mine, what's yours?
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

I have 2, sickboy, because in highschool I got into a fight, the guy hit my stomach pretty damn hard, I still was able to get on top of him, but that punch did me in and I just threw up on face. The other is Cortes as that's my mothers family name and a few friends knew that and just called me that.
"Bastard Sheep" count? My avatar is of a birthday present I was given not overly long after I picked up that nick.

Jolly Green Giant - because im tall, and im usually nice to everyone. Im not green though, dont know where that came from.
T-Bone - someone gave that to me when i played basketball in school. My name doesnt start with T, and im not a stick figure, so i have no idea where this one came from.
My long, dense and unruly hair got me a few nicknames, mostly related with a jungle.
For example, Yago - according to a south-american soap opera called 'Yago, the son of jungle', or George, as for another, American TV serial parody on Tarzan. My hair since then is about a half meter long and worn in a ponytail. From a psychological point of view, I'm a shy person and I use this mane as a veil, or a decoy to turn attention away from my face. Yeah, I got a few nicknames because of my face as well, but not that I'd be ugly, just my mind is....uhm....weird, in the sense what the strange alien minds in a psychological sci-fi films must be.
Also, some kids for some time called me 'Allan' for no reason known to me. I guess this was an impression radiating from my aura which stimulated certain response in their brain. Next what I remember is Professor, because I'm a walking encyclopedia, my knowledge is vast and I've got to be careful to not make a lecture on some obscure topic every time I open my mouth. The problem is, that I've always lived in a company of not very intellectual or educated people, for who almost all topics are obscure, and who prefer to talk all the time about nothing. This is the only topic I don't know and I don't care about.
It seems that I'm a natural object for nicknames. Even my real name is nowadays rather not used in a local culture except for very official ocassions, (I have no idea why, it just feels like that) but replaced with it's diminuitives or germanized form. Together with my surname it's also very common, almost anonymous here. This is why I don't care what my name or nickname is, as long as other people well about it and it's not derogatory.

People usually come up with crappy nicknames for me, since my name is "Will" and you can't really do better than that for simplicity. Attempts have involved rhyming, like "Will the Thrill", or bad tie-ins like "Good Will Hunting". "Free Willy" is punishable by shame.

I don't usually get any very good nicknames since my name is Doug... I usually get the old comment of "Hey! where's Patty Mayonnaise?" Or "Hey Doug Funny" i also get called Dougy fresh...and i have no clue where this came from.
The only nickname that i have gotten that i have ever liked is sage. The guy who originally called me this said that i reminded him of one of those sages from the asia who should have gone somewhere but instead stayed at the temple. its also because i am like luminon i usually surround myself with people who don't know a whole lot about anything and like to talk about nothing which i don't know anything about either.
People on the soccer team call me Spider Monkey. It stems from incredible agility, and the notion that I "always have a trampoline under my feet."
The name has also largely caught on at school, slowly replacing "Daniels" (the only kid who everyone refers to by his last name).
I also have other nicknames: ****face, ****face, **** you, asshole, dickwad, asshat, fat kid (though I'm skinny as hell), that kid in the shiny jacket... The list goes on.

I was called monkey boy for a while after I climbed some pallet racks at work. It didn't stick though. A new guy started working there that looked like a monkey, so he picked up the title. Not joking either, this kid was the missing link. Serious as a heart attack.

I go by my last name because my best friend happens to share my first name. Over time, this has simplified to the first 4 letters of my last name.
