Doug is Mutt, probably because Doug sounds like dog. Rob is Moo Moo, thanks to my very mean oldest brother, who does not have a nickname because he is too mean.<BR/>Sisters: Frances is Tooty (long, Italian origin story); Regina is Jub (don't ask), and I (Laura) was Raz, then Roxy, but only by my Mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-69609230738883345302007-11-17T11:01:00.000-06:002007-11-17T11:01:00.000-06:00Everyone calls me "Lori", except my brother-in-law...Everyone calls me "Lori", except my brother-in-law who stole my favorite sister from me. He calls me one of three names, but never "Lori" - Lewis, Luey or most commonly and digustingly, Loogie...ya know, like "hock-a-loogie"! <BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, his whole family calls me those now..."Aunt Loogie" - I've heard that many times. Gross as it may be, I consider it a term of endearment. Hey, at least he doesn't lick me anymore...<BR/><BR/>"Claystorian"...nice.

My sister didn't read these backwards - she spoke in gibberish and drove us all nuts. <BR/><BR/>Her nickname for me was Ninny....couldn't say Angie. Later she added my middle name Kaye. To this day I am Ninny Kaye. I can't say I love it but thankfully she's the only person in the world that calls me that!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890581319164051879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-85961462608814500222007-11-15T23:08:00.000-06:002007-11-15T23:08:00.000-06:00One of the sad things that can happen when you are...One of the sad things that can happen when you are given a nickname that you hate,is you become so used to hearing it, that you actually begin to answer to it. <BR/><BR/>So now, whenever my brother (who is the only one who calls me this, thankyouverymuch) says "Hi Weiner." I respond with "Hi there...Hey!" Dork-face. Sigh. <BR/><BR/>Even worse is the fact that he sometimes shortens Weiner to Wein - like it's my real name shortened to a nickname.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-26826180234196605972007-11-15T21:26:00.000-06:002007-11-15T21:26:00.000-06:00Oh, no arguments from me.

Ya, I'm not totally over it, but I no longer feel the emotional pain. ;) Actually that was a lot tamer than what my Dad called me when i was a baby. My older sister (their 1st kid) got called "Poops a Lot" by Dad, therefore I was "Poops a Whole Lot".

Brothers don't come up with nice nicknames. I am 5'11" (they are 6'5" and 6'10", but they didn't get that tall until I was gone). They liked to do this gross grunting thing right before they called me "Ingrid." Just thinking about it makes me want to punch something. The brother that is 4 years younger also called me "Leema Sierra." he seemed to think it meant fat lard in some other language. And that was when I was skinny! I called that brother Hitler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-47371876661631486592007-11-15T08:58:00.000-06:002007-11-15T08:58:00.000-06:00Funny!!

I don't know why because my mom never called me anything but Vonda or on occasion BarbaraLorettaVondaJohnDavidJayKristin. You know all seven of our names at once because the poor woman couldn't remember which kid she was screaming at. <BR/><BR/>I was called Saphire by an old man I worked with (don't know why), Little Momma by a Hawaiian girl when I was pregnant (this one stuck...my husband and kids still call me this), Vonders by lots of people including my father-in-law. But my favorite is Vonny, which my dad called me. He was the only one and I miss him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
