    My father always called me Fancy Pants. Started when I was very young becuase my mother used to dress me in the little panties that had all the ruffles on the rear end and the name never went away.

    How cruel and how UNtrue. God bless you and wipe those awful memories away and replace them with peace and happiness.

    I had a Spanish professor from Mexico. She was the smallest, skinniest thing you had ever seen. However, she was tubby when she was a little girl. Everyone called her "Gordita" (little fat girl), when she was younger. She was so sweet. I would have been offended if someone would have called me that, but she figured it was all in good humor.

    My baby brother couldn't say Sister. He called me Foostie. I am 73, he is 69, and he still calls me that once in a while.

    Suzie Q, when I was small I had a big yellow dog named suzie. Mom would call me in for lunch and we'd both come running. Growning up I had a bf call me suzie and one day his mom asked me if I knew he had another gf called suzie what a laugh, I told her it's my middle name.

    My favorite brother-in-law called me B Jane. My Mother started with "Eleanor" then "Ruth" then "Lainie" them Marietta before she ever got to Barbara - so I learned to answer to "Eleanor" real early! I've always maintained that calling me "Babs" would get you broken kneecaps! LOL

    My middle name is June and my immediate family has always called me that. When I started school I used my first name which is Lois. However, family members all called me "Juneie". The one that really got my goat was when they called me "junie runie". Grrrrrr........
