What strange nickname stuck with your child?

[MooseBreath]

What unexpected nickname stuck with your child? I'm not talking about Alexander becoming "Alex" or Evelyn becoming "Evie"...I'm talking much more bizarre, that often has nothing to do with the name at all.

At home my sons are affectionately known as Muggins and Skeet. Skeet hasn't started school yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if he chooses to introduce himself that way!

We added 'kins' onto our son's name and call him Mr Kins sometimes (he's nearly 13 😬).

That’s a really interesting coincidence as I have lexical-gustatory synaesthesia (really fancy name for being able to ‘taste’ words!) and the name Olivia has always tasted like lemon to me

My sister was known as Patch by my Dad because of brief moment in time when the Sindy doll had a little sister called that. I don't even remember if she owned a Patch and she didn't look anything one. My Mum remembers a woman who was know as Baby until she passed away at a venerable old age because was the youngest in the family.

Fonzarelli or The Fonz so called because he was very popular at toddler group with all the babies (younger group). He was like the Pied Piper, so sometimes also gets called Piper.

dh was scratch born on a pool table holiday in sept
could have been worse he was 10 lb some of family called him punkinheadfor a while.
sis was poohbear

Please do an ask me anything as this is fascinating and I want to know what more words taste like to you!
