Do you have a nickname? If so, what is it and how'd you get it?
Boy! Do I have nicknames. I have way too many and I can thank my brothers for most of them. I'll start with the obvious ones first.
Mart/Marta/KMart:: Mostly used by family and college roommates.
Martie:: Used by family and close friends.
Mart the Fart/Martie Fartie:: Seriously! Used by the brothers when we were kids and they wanted to make fun of me. Of course, I hated it and would rat them out so they would get in trouble. {It seriously ticked me off that I couldn't come up with anything mean to rhyme with their names (Ryan and Travis.)} They now like to say they called me that because of "intestinal issues". Suuuure...
Marfa Barfa:: Brought to you courtesy of 4 year old cousin Rory.
MJ:: My initials. I think this one is kind of cool because of MJ in Spiderman.
Now, for the ones that aren't so obvious -
Sister Sue:: Given to me by my mom.
Suzy-Q:: Again - courtesy of my cute mother. When I was about 7, I can remember confronting my mom when she kept calling me this (bear in mind that I was not very fond of my name...) I said, "Why do you call me that?" (I'm sure my chin was thrust out, I wore a scowl, and my hand was on my hip. I had some attitude. I admit it.) My mom's response, "Because I like it." My snarky come back, "Well, if you like it so much, why didn't you just name me that?"
Vegas:: This is the latest addition to my vast collection of nicknames. I can thank my two older brothers for this one. I finally got it out of Jeff why they started calling me this. He told me that, "What happens in Vegas... ends up on the internet." I still didn't get it, so he told me that whatever happens around me ends up on my blog, hence the new nickname of Vegas. I thought it was because I was so glitzy and fast looking in my new stilettos, but boy, was I wrong!
So, what about you:: do you have a nickname (or several)? Do tell - come on, I gave the Mart-the-Fart ones and those are embarrassing.

Not really. My family nickname is Tina, but I hate it. There are very few people who can call me that.
Oh, my friend and her husband call me Stina, which I sort of like. It's more unique than Tina.
Vegas is genious.
My 12 yr old has nicknamed me grumpy. He thinks just because I always have to tell him 5 times or more to do something, I'm grumpy.
All of my nicknames are variations of my first and last name. Maybe I'm just too boring and plain for a nickname. Although, I would like to be called "Trucker". LOL!
Uh, Trav? Didn't you already try the whole getting us to call you "Trucker" thing? Yah, didn't really work out so well the first time. Probably not gonna work so much this time, either. Although, if you really want me to, because I love you, I will. Just let me know.
shelly belly.
and, since you're called vegas, i think it's time for a trip TO vegas!
What a crack up, ♥ the nicknames...how funny! The best part is the stories behind them. I'd have to say my two nicknames are "T" and "Tana" short and sweet.
Gotta love brothers. They come up with the weirdest things!
V, V-ness, Nessa, Sess, Venus, Sessa. There you go.
I have had 2 nicknames in my life and hated them both. My mom and dad called me sissy as a child. They said it was to teach my brother who I was when we were kids. Who would he have thought I was otherwise? Some random neighbor who slept there and ate the food? A billy goat gruff? A gnome? My brother, BTW never called me sissy. Somehow the nickname got transferred years later to my niece by my misguided mother who cannot ever keep the niece's name separate from mine and apparently thinks she has a sibling that she doesn't have as she now has my former nickname.
During high school I earned the fabulous nickname of Big Mac (MacDougall was my maiden name and I'm 5 ft 8). I never liked being named after a McDonald's food item - especially one with "big" in the title but, try as I might, I just couldn't kill the nickname. Yay sports!

Love "Vegas!" funny!
I'm sure you know me as "Cadie" only family and friends who knew me when I was Really little call me this...as soon as I realized how unique my real name was I did not want to be called Cadie.
Sean calls me KADO and has forever. Even some of his family & friends who I've met as an adult even call me that. I answer to it.
Just DON'T call me CANDICE...or CANDY!!!! I am not a stripper! (Candy always reminded me of a stripper name!)
