One of my friend’s nicknames is Six Moves, which refers to how he would try to fake while playing football.

One guy we nicknamed Toke, for obvious reasons. Now that he’s an adult with a child of his own, it’s not quite as amusing to him…haha!

@filmfann – My husband would call him Telegraph. lol

@KNOWITALL -Ha! Some names never fade away.
An old boyfriend had an employee named Brunswick. I’m sure Brunswick’s private name for his boss was something along the lines of “Not Good”.

I call my neighbor Jungle Jim.
An old girlfriend of a friend called him Kirk the Turk because she didn’t want to call him Kirk the Jerk to his face.
At one place I worked, the so-called branch manager’s name was Gid and we called him Gid the Squid.
I have names for a lot of people, usually people I don’t like. In lieu of any other name, I’ll add a long E sound to a name because I hate it when people add that sound to the end of my name.

@kritiper – No nickname for you?

We have a friend we call Puke.
Now our kids call him Uncle Puke.

@raum :D

I wish I could say they do, but they don’t :D
The vast majority of nicknames end with a “y”
Like benny or toddy or willy…okay, so that last one (mine) is mildly amusing lol

I have another friend Flytrap, but I don’t know for sure how he got that name, other than he looks like a hillbilly.

@filmfann – WKRP?

I had a friend in college we called Hinky. I don’t think I ever really found out where that came from. For the longest time I didn’t even know his real name.

@Demosthenes -Kind of like Kramer on Seinfeld.
