At school I was called "Ginger Nut" (Ginger hair)and my friend was called "Fuzzy Wuzzy" (Curly Hair). She came for lunch today and when she was leaving, she said Bye Ginger, see you soon, I replied Bye Fuzzy. I wonder why we got strange looks from passers by. Does anyone else still use their nick name :-D |

This topic has just given me and 'im a good laugh. When he was a little one his mum used to make her own toffee and he was always pinching it behind her back. His brothers nicknamed him Toffee. Was called it when he started school. It has stuck to this day not the sweet LOL. |

There were two Wendys in my class at school. To distinguish them one was Wendy Worms Womb and the other was Wendy Wasp's Willy. |

I dont get called by my nickname now, but a few years ago I heard someone shouting my old nickname. I ignored it, though I smiled at thinking someone else had the nickname till someone tapped my shoulder - they couldn't remember my real name. |

Gremlin was mine. Can you believe it. Not James Dean, not luscious lips, not hunky, not sexy - all of which I would have thought very appropriate. No, Gremlin. :-D |

I was Tufty or Titch.....Tufty was to do with a blond streak in my hair(not a Mallen Streak),and Titch was the obvious reason :-| |

Fatty, because I was a tubby child, but that was mainly by the boys. Also, Speccy For Eyes, because of my glasses. |
