Almost everyone has once had a nickname that stuck. What was yours?

Now I have split nicknames into 3 categories. Nicknames you got from an event/s, nicknames based on your name and nicknames based on your username.

Nickname based on your name
Nicknames is a big thing in Iceland (where I come from) everyone has a nickname based on their name. Even my grandparents has nicknames which they are called by frequently. And because most nicknames in Iceland are based on their names it gets tricky what to call who when there's two people with identical names in the same room. An example to that is my dad and my grandfather, they both named Ásgeir. And are both called "Áussi", sounds similar to "Aussie". So they started calling my dad "Geyri" and let my grandpa stick with "Áussi" whenever they were in the same room. Geyri doesn't mean anything and my dad has no idea why they chose that name. It's similar to my 'Icelandic nickname' they call me "Tony" but my name is Anton. It makes no sense.

Nickname you got from an event
In school my classmates started calling me "Bussen" which means Bus because I was always 2 - 6 minutes late for class. People are still calling me that even the teachers. I don't mind though. I take pride in being called a transportation vehicle. And the funny thing is; I don't even take the bus to school.

My fathers best friend made his own fireworks when he was a kid. Well one day he wasn't too lucky and a firecracker blew up in his hand. He lost 3 fingers and from that day on he's called 7up.

Nicknames based on your username
Ryssen is short as it is so people usually call me that. Other times it's "Rys".

You don't have to share nicknames you're ashamed of.

Nickname based on your name
In middle school, I remembered being called "Ivanator" by my friends. That's the same reference to the Terminator because I was always emotionless and always having that look of threatening people at times. But it was funny. I accepted the name.

Nickname you got from an event
Again, in middle school, my seniors kept calling me "Chicken Little" because at that time I had sort of a small build and I wore glasses. They said that I would've fit the name completely if I did a mohawk, which I didn't get to do in the end.

Nicknames based on your username
As for my username, people call me "Oda" most of the time. It's easier to type than "Odamust" which makes no sense at all.

Nicknames you got from an event's:

Token: Being the one black man in my group of friends who pretty much worship south park it was pretty obvious Id get the nicky eventually. In the dorms we even put out characters up on the doors and I put token shedding it up on the bass.

Micknames based on your name:

Nicknames based on your username:

Happy-Go-Lucky-Loney: Given to me when I was especially cheery one afternoon on here. Nothing seemed to bother me that day.

Old Man/Old Gentleman: Given to me to annoy me but it began to catch on rather quickly. So i said screw it and accepted my old man fate. I changed my picture to the monopoly man for a few days but even I got tired of it after a while.

None, although my friend Barry sometimes called me Gravity cat because I have him on Steam and we talk on there more often than we talk on Fagbook.

Based on my appearance, I've also been called The Bear, Jesus and Jack Black. Unfortunately I've also been compared to Gerard Way when he had long hair, although not for at least 3 years now. Thank fuck.

1) Due to my animu watching, cosplay and such some of my friends call me "rirry", which is supposed to be Lilly but pronounced like engrish.
2) Red. Dumb and short, but I can't shake it. Half due to my hair, and half as an insult. My middle name is Amelié, which is French. One of my friends from college took french and figured out that it has a rather unfortunate connotation as a HOOKER'S NAME. It's slang for "scarlet woman" which of course, lead to red.
3) Nah.
