Nicknames

Ryssen · 2013-01-10T17:15:03-01:00

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 Ã�sgeir. And are both called "Ã�ussi", sounds similar to "Aussie". So they started calling my dad "Geyri" and let my grandpa stick with "Ã�ussi" 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 from name
My father named me after the rapper, Dr. Dre. So of course Dre is a given. Others are: Dre-day, Doctor, Andre 3000, Andr (a joke with another user) and Dre-Dre

You're forgetting Nigdre and Ja'Quan.

And Incgnegro... most important.
