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!"

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.

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.

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.
