nickname for you when you were really little that eventually you grew too big for but occasionally slipped out when you visited them with a new girlfriend/boyfriend, just to deliberately mortify you?

Not embarrassing.... everyone in my family calls me "Buddy"....

There are like 20 Kenny's in my immediate family, so we all got nicknames over the years....

My kids have these names we can't help ourselves but to call them these things cause they are so cute!!

Button nose.

I had a cute little nose!!

for the first 3 months I was called "dockan" meaning doll. My mum wanted to wait until my dad could meet me before deciding on a name

Where was he?.....

Peter Banana. Don't ask.

And yes, it got misinterpreted a lot.

he was in Germany taking his dentistry finals. In those days dads could get away with stuff like that - deferring until the next year wasn't an option, it seems I read my mum's diary from back then and she was deeply unhappy about it.

my Dad and stepmum started calling me "Natters" as a teenager and they still do

Family/friends used to (sometimes still do) call me "Honey", but not because I'm sweet. (lol) I used to rub honey on my lips as thought it were lipstick and kiss folks. It's not embarassing because company just thinks it's because I am sweet!

My dad called me 'pooper' or his 'little pooper' when I was young. I never really thought about it until I was in high school and realized how silly it was.
Luckily, it stopped before I was old enough for it to embarrass me.

I didn't have any when I was young, I call mine fattie and pudding at the moment. I guess that would be a bit embarrasing when he starts bringing girls home

Oh and little stinker too.

Dad used to call me his little "drunken mistake" all the time.

my mom calls me child-o.

she calls me that all the time in front of the rest of the family

my mm and her best friend from law school call me "puba" or "the queen of sheba" because apparently i was a very demanding baby.

Maybe dad was in a band?

no, I was the baby child of elder parents, so by the time I popped out, they already had lost intrest.

I call my daughter booger face.

jerseykrs said:

Nice!

What about what you call your kids??

I dont have kids, but I call my (extremely cute) dog Judy "angel pie"! Or "Juda pie"



GOd I cant believe I posted that!!! But she is sooo cute

No nicknames and i have never brought girlfriends to meet my mother.
