My dad called me Pam Ella. I miss that one and him. My (ex) BIL - a real jokester - called me Pamela Soup. I also remember Pam the Lamb from when I was real little. My poor twin sister was Fat Pat the Water Rat.

My baby sister would call me Boo and mom did too, from time to time. But MY DADDY, love and miss him so much (you can tell, can't ya??hmm I'm a daddy's girl) Called me RUTH HENRY, his favorite (only) uncle's name was Hank, short for Henry. Many is the time I appreciated being a girl. Middle name, well a cruel uncle told me once it was from the Donald O'Connor movie, Frances, the mule. hahahaha I never saw the movie but heard of it. after highschool, I needed a nic name for a job and I chose Henri. To this day some old friends still use it. Life is good.

Blessings, Ruth

Quiltforme 02-16-2011 08:50 PM

my dad called me poohbear and when I turned 17 he said that since I was all grown up he would call me by my name. I cried and told him i could never be too old for poohbear to this day he still calls me that!

Ditter43 02-16-2011 08:55 PM

I was called.....Ditter!! It started when I was learning to talk. My DM said I would walk around saying ditter over and over. I guess it was pretty funny to everyone and before long that was my nickname. I had outgrown it by the time I went to school except for my step Dads' family. They call me Ditter to this day! :lol:

craftyone27 02-16-2011 09:04 PM

When I was really little my dad used to callme "oldie pastina spaghettio" and when I was older he called me the "admiral's daughter" My older sister called me "pymie". The only nickname I have now is "little mama", which is a joke between me and my 13 y/o son. I have always called him "little man" and now he is 5'10" at 13 and I am only 5'2". Since he is so much taller than me he has decided that I am his little mama.

maine ladybug 02-16-2011 09:06 PM

I bet no one else was called what I was. My whole family called me Tiger, until I was about 16 and my Mom made them stop. It still slips out once and a while from someone, but not too often.

Sadiemae 02-16-2011 09:09 PM

"Sis" by all of my brothers and my sister. My mom used my first and middle name and I hated it(Won't even tell what it is!). My grandma called me "Sweetie" and she never did learn how to spell my name. And sometimes they just called me "Picky" because I don't eat pepper of any kind. No black pepper, no white pepper, no hot peppers, or green, yellow, orange or red peppers! And there were a lot more things I wouldn't eat.

fidgety 02-16-2011 09:16 PM

well my mom called me by my first name, My oldest bro callsme teeesa. my youngest bro calls me fidgets, and my step dad knick named all of us kids and of course mine was fidgets cause I could not set still. My grandsons call me mamaw and my step GD calls me mamaw or treeeesa or ChiChi. lol. when she said my name that is what came out. lol my DH well he calls me baby. ;)

tweetee 02-16-2011 09:47 PM

My dad used to call me chicky when I was little, but when I grew in to a teenager, he used to call me string bean, as I was tall and gangly.

Ramona Byrd 02-16-2011 10:17 PM

Most of them called me by my legal name, but when I got old enough to argue with them I told them my name was Paddy O'Brian, for whatever strange reason. Never did like my legal name, and my ex-inlaws in Texas called me Patty Sue. It was the law then that everyone had to have two names. In fact, exHubby was legally Billy Bob. Not William Robert. (Pause for laughter here) Now answer to Mom, Grandma, or even faster to "Dinner's ready!"

Tropical 02-16-2011 10:22 PM

I was called Sissie because I was the only girl among five brothers. Mom and my youngest brother still call me that. My Dad did until he passed away at age 84. My favorite nicknmae is one my mother gave me when I was in my young teens and helping her to clean house. It was Tillie. There was an old radio show she used to listen to and there was a character called "Tillie the Toiler." I guess I like it because it represents something that gave her pleasure when she listened to the radio show.

QuiltnCowgirl 02-16-2011 10:29 PM

My Daddy called me Sis. I'm his only girl and while I was not spoiled, I was very much loved & was blessed with a special relationship with my Daddy. Unfortunately the name went with him when he died in 1981 when I was 20. :( I've tried to get my brothers to call me Sis but to no avail.

C.Cal Quilt Girl 02-16-2011 10:44 PM

There are a few of us so could be called by another name at any time :), but if your middle name was added, better be payin attention!! :)

mgshaw 02-16-2011 10:57 PM

[quote=Mother still often calls me RoColClayt...JAN! Goes through all the siblinds names before she gets to mine. Jan in VA[/quote]

My mom did the same thing!!! DareGare..Melissa!!!Brothers are Darrell and Gary. Either that or she called me by her sisters name, Carol Sue.
Missy was the most commonly used nickname, but one aunt always called me Messy Gail, Gail being my middle name. My oldest brother always called me Anti Balistic Belissa :shock: :?: I never did figure that one out :lol: I got the Blondie alot too. Now days it is either Mel or Mo.

magpiefeather 02-16-2011 11:14 PM

My Mom's nickname used to be Badger because she had a pet badger, I have 8 brothers and sisters and we don't have nicknames! Enjoyed all of yours though!

tuxedokitty 02-17-2011 02:42 AM

My sister called (still does actually!) me Vickersando, my grandma called me her little "pea picker", and my mom & dad just called me Sweetie :) Now I get called Miss Vicki a lot.

19angel52 02-17-2011 02:53 AM

sis couldn't pronounce my name (Sharon) so it came out "scarecrow". Lovely... We still don't get along.

quilt-fanatic 02-17-2011 02:56 AM

Favorite Aunt (Mom's sister) started calling me Annie at a young age when I liked horses (Annie Oakley)? She still calls me that today and I'm 58.

My Daddy calls me Sis
My grandma on dad's side called me Tam.
My Hubby calls me Babe or Kiddo, one day I asked him if he knew my name :lol: so the rest of the week he would say TAMMY in a really annoying voice and told him please just call me one of your pet names, so he does :thumbup:
Grandson calls me Grammy,my favorite :D :D

hannajo 02-17-2011 03:58 AM

One person used to call me "banjo eyes." I think it's because I had big eyes and used to really stare at people.

sally's girl 02-17-2011 03:58 AM

My grandparents were from Poland, Nancy does not translate into Polish....they called me 'Ninza" (as it sounded) which means in Polish: little itch.

lindagor 02-17-2011 04:31 AM

I am still called "Little Chicken" by my big sister.

iowabsklover 02-17-2011 05:10 AM

My Dad called me, "Sass". I guess when I was trying to learn to talk, I would just jibber along with everyone else,not knowing what I was saying, just wanted to be in the so called conversation. So my Dad would say, "Don't sass me!" And of course I didn't know what he was saying so I would do my so called talking. I was told everyone thought it was cute and encourage me to keep "sassing!"

Riversong 02-17-2011 05:25 AM

A lady at chuch called me 'Mousemeat" and my granny called me "guppy" No clue!

QuiltingTurtle 02-17-2011 05:36 AM

My mother and both grandmothers call me Tricia Lou. I am not sure where it came from. Tricia is my name, I just don't know where the Lou came in.

damaquilts 02-17-2011 05:36 AM

My GF called me Freckles when I was little other than that no nicknames in my family. My DGD calls me Dama because when she was little she couldn't say grandma.It stuck. Although now she is in college unless we are at home its Grandma.lol

stitchinwitch 02-17-2011 05:38 AM

'guess I was called "STOP THAT OR YOU"RE GONNA GET A LICKIN'"

tntgranny 02-17-2011 05:38 AM

Suzy Q. My older sister was named Nancy (after Frank Sinatras song - Nancy with the laughing face). Made the mistake of asking my Mom where my name came from and she told me - "Your Dad's old girlfriend." I think she was kidding, but didnt want to delve any further.

vjengels 02-17-2011 05:39 AM

Sticky or Tricky, my most everyone that wasn't related to me. My family always called me Vic, still do, I prefer that.

dashton4 02-17-2011 05:50 AM

I was known as "Dorsey Horsey" by the mean girls in grade school. As you can see by my avatar, it doesn't suit me at all!

nycbgirl 02-17-2011 05:56 AM

My parents called me punkin, my brother called me ugly, or red head, or carrot top...my husband and I call each other Bunny. I started it because I don't like his name. All though he prefers to be called Bunster (the hunk)

amyamy1978 02-17-2011 06:18 AM
