What is/was your nickname(s)?
Happy Friday the 13th! 
My nickname(s) Ethopian Ankles, Kowie
Ethopian Ankles because I have the teeniest-tiniest ankles.
Kowie because my dad always said I was like a cow grazing. He had very strange animal names for me, my sis (Buck) and brother (Rat-Snake)...
Re: What is/was your nickname(s)?
I love my nickname but no one calls me by it anymore....
JET
OMG Julie! Those names are outta control!
Lee-Lee, Lee, or Vee (V- because my last name was Villa) bio dad used to call me: Lisa Lisa Caca-risa (wtf!)
Skinny bone Joan
"Marinita" My dad calls me this. Means "little Marina"
"Rina" given by my family... not sure who. I don't like this and actually sent out a memo when I was younger to tell everyone to stop calling me that. One of my uncles never got the memo. haha!
"Honey Nut Cherrioes" given by my sister. No good reason why, just because. She is "Honey Bunches of Oats"
"Marnie" in Jr. High. That one never lastest
"Homing Beacon" given by my college friends because I have a good sense of direction and never get lost in the car.
"Meena" don't know where it came from... but this is the only one that has lasted and is still in use (other than the one my dad gave me). This is the only one that I will use too when writing to close friends.
Oh, by the way, skinny bone Joan was TOTALLY a grade school nickname. HA! I wish I was still back in that shape now!
I just remembered another nickname which I loathed. LIZ! (as in Lizard!) A boy I liked in 5th grade called me Liz because I stuck my tongue at him for making fun of me. Ugh, that name did not go away until we all left grade school.
Rat-Snake! LOL!
I don't have many funny nick names. First name is Elizabeth, so I've gone by Beth and Liz or Lizzie. Now I'm back to Elizabeth.
Rosie - all my online friends and school friends call me this due to my first name.
Jazmin, Jaz, Jazmini, Jazzy Jaz, - some of my co-workers /friends and all my family calls me by either one due to my second name.
Chaparrita/ Reina/ Chiquita- is what MH calls me.
Gordis/ Gordita - is what my BFF and my dad call me.
