The Blackangel Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 This is about nicknames, not screen names. Unless your screen name is a name that many people know you as. That said, I think pretty much everyone has at one time or another. I still have my nickname, which is Panda. I got that name because of my love of bamboo. It's an amazing plant, that I am simply mesmerized by. When we eat Chinese, I always have to get a lot of bamboo chutes in it. When we're at the zoo, I chew on bamboo leaves the entire time. The leaves can be sharp, but they taste so awesome. With The Blackangel, many people have known me by that name for more than 20 years. People often ask me why I have the name, and I always tell them to just get to know me and it will make itself clear. Everyone who has gotten to know me says it's completely accurate.

Shortie Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 When I was born, I was a tiny baby and when my dad saw me, he instantly gave me a nickname due to how small I was and that was Diddy. Throughout my life, he would always call me either Diddy or Did. It used to annoy me as I got older and into my teen years but it was a nickname my dad gave me so I tolerated it and still do to this day 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryAR Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 There was one guy in school that used to call me Bob, but I have no idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Longman, we had a textbook in secondary school named longman. I was given the nickname because of my towering height. It was a unanimous decision by my classmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svjiminfxv Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It's not a nickname that is used now, but when I was in school I was called either toffee or Smurfette from the movie The Smurfs. I'm not sure why I had the nickname toffee but the reason I had the nickname Smurfette was because I was the smallest of my friend group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Yeah, I have a nickname that was given to me by my parents when I was little. It's very common at my place to have a nickname and a real/official name. So, almost every person will have two names. One for the world, one for their family, hehe.
