    My grandma on mom's side called me Satch-O(sp) or Satch for short still don't know what it means or where it came from but I loved it and miss being called that.
    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

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

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

    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!"

    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.
