What are 5 nicknames you've had at some time in your life? You can explain how they originated if you'd like.
BellaItaliana Apr 4, 2011

Guess I should've said "about 5". Do more or less if you'd like.

1. jellybean
2. ricecakes
3. zelda
4. LG, but in Spanish, like "ele-hey"
5. froglegs (sigh, mothers)
6. oompa loompa
7. bella/belly/bellaitaliana

Wormboy - I found Australian flatworms in my garden and got on tv on a science show.

Plagueboy - I got mumps while on a field trip to Tenerife and got quarantined in my hotel room.

Waterboy - my real name is pronounced like a well-known brand of mineral water.

Rocky - I got into a big fight at a work night out a few years ago just after I joined the company. They found it funny.

Sideshow Bob - I have short dreadlocks.

1)Space Queen (by my riding instructor)
2) Factor Queen (algebra teacher)
3) Coding Queen (work - not TW)

I've no idea why they all used "queen;" none of them knew each other.

Skyman
Schuii (thought of after I tried to pronounce the original spelling of my name (Skyler, originally Dutch, traditionally spelled Schuyler) and they thought the first syllable sounded funny; I don't know how that spelling was decided upon though)
Skyguy
Sky
Skymander

Note: the unoriginality of these names is mainly from the uncommonness of my first name, Skyler.

I have a brother named Schuyler. Everyone butchers the spelling & pronunciation, so he goes by his middle name.

1. Fatty- what goes around comes around (as in I called multiple people it and they returned the favour).
2. Dumb-Dumb. Not because I wasn't bright, but because it was a charachter on a story tape I loved.
3. Ziffer Sniffer- All I remember about it is that my friends brother called me it when I had a terrible cold.
4. ZAZ- People in RL noticed I used that as my name on the Internet/gaming alot.
5. Z- Some people couldn't pronounce it the way I liked, so to avoid that issue...
