I don't think this one has been done before, but it might be fun... What nicknames do you have, or did you used to have, and what are the stories behind them?

 

I'll even start up... all through HS and college I was known as Crash. Most people had no idea why... When I was a Jr in HS, I got a job at a local country club through my best friend at the time. I worked in the pro shop. One of the duty's we had was to clean the golf carts and take them back to the bin to plug them in to re-charge. The path was a backwards C shaped path around the proshop and garage to the back entrance where the carts sat when they weren't being used. My first day on the job when my buddy was showing me how to clean them and where to take them, he has me hop on another cart to follow him back to put them away. I slam on the go peddle and slide out of the curve and smack right into the Pro's conversion van, with him and his assistant watching me. Instead of firing me or yelling, he just calmly looks at my buddy and tells him.

 

"Let's teach Crash here how to properly drive a cart."

Ship.

 

Some guys at work call me D'BO which I think I like more.

Stanimal. It started in high school and every group of my friends has picked up on it

Redsauce, The Sauce, or just Sauce.

 

(used to be Reddy, hence the s/n)

How do you Redbirds like coach Jank? I know him. He's a great great man.

I got Shoey for the longest time from about 4th grade to high school, In college I've got KShoe alot.

Hurt. All my buddies know that Frank is my favorite player. About 5 years ago, we were joking around and I said I wanted to be called Big Hurt. Since then, they all call me Hurt. It's kinda cool.

I played on a traveling baseball team and five of the players were all named Jim.

Jim Adkins got to keep his name. Fitting because he was our Captain and best player

Jimmy Lubtack became LBJ as in led bottom Jim

Jim Valentine became Valentine

Jim Durkin became mouse because his dad was an exterminator and had a giant mouse on his car.

And with one mighty swing and a miss during a practice, I became

grandma

T-Bone

I have been heartattack since high school. I was always a second baseman, but USED to be able to run fast. Coaches decided to put me in the outfield, i would always look like i was camped under a flyball but then at the last second make some crazy adjustment to catch the ball, giving the coaches and my teammates a "heartattack"

 

Name has stuck to this day, and i still catch flyballs the same way!

Throughout high school I was Sucram, it's my name backwards. It was mainly because a friend of ours like to say things backwards every now and then.

 

Now I get Markie or the ever so popular Barackus. My name's Marcus and numerous girls tell me I resemble Barack Obama.

I love my nicknames:

 

WalRuss

DangerRuss

MonsterRuss

 

DangerRuss was the most common for baseball, and WalRuss for everything else.

I was a big fan of Sucram. Especially because it took me like a year to figure it out.

Well first, I was known as Shlong, because my last name is long.

 

But now its J, starting with my first name but cooler.

In high school, I was called Fuji and Alpha Dog. In college I got reduced to my sports number, and was called '15' most of the time, with the occasional Alpha Dog from those that knew me from high school. Haven't been called any of them much anymore, outside of here or a few other sites.

Teggy, because of my last name. My brother was given it first, so whenever I'm around him or his friends he's big Teg, and I'm little Teg.

Pretty much everyone of my friends refers to me as Gage or Ten Gage. Ten Gage has a perveted meaning where as Gage is simply my last name but it rolls off the tongue very smoothly.

I get just the letter "E" sometimes b/c my name is Evan. Lot of people just call me by my last name...
