A friend called all my boys Smitty (for last name of Smith) since he could never remember which name went with which boy. The only one with a nickname that stuck is the #4 son who got called Anvil Child because he wrecked his bicycle so often jumping the hump betweeen the neighbors driveway and ours. DD got called Meshach, ShellyBell, Tinkerbell, Chevy (???).
