QOD 9-30 <--- YIKES!

 What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?

Re: QOD 9-30 &lt;--- YIKES!

  • I'm Cate to 95% of people. I hate Catie. One of those names my parents never wanted people to call me, so consequently it now drives me bonkers when people call me Catie. Other than Cate, there isn't really anything else anyone calls me.

  • A lot of people call me Beth, H actually insists on calling me Beth and finds it weird when people call me Bethany. Then, one of my BMs calls me B-money, I honestly don't remember how that started.

  • Most close friends/family call me Lyss hence the FB name. My H calls me Melissa not sure why he never jumped on the Lyss.   I get lyssie from some people including one co-worker who I have no idea why he did. Also, many people take away my A and just call me Meliss. 
    My mom swore up and down I was MELISSA no one was allowed to call me anything else but then my cousin couldn't say my name and come up with lyss and it stuck.

  • I'm just Leah, although a lot of the girls at work call me by my last name - Cox.  Not really sure how that started or why it stuck it just did.  I hate when people shorten my name to Lee, it just annoys me for some unknown reason.

    My family calls me Lisa. Most of my friends and ILs call me Mona. One of my oldest friends calls me Lee-Lee. My brother used to call me Lee but lately he's started calling me Lisa more. H calls me Lisa and Mona.

    My mom hates when people call me Mona, which is just plain funny to me. She probably should have named me something else if she didn't want people calling me Mona.

  • Never had a nickname. My mom named us all names that couldn't be shortened. Jamael, Leah, and Noelle. Not really a worthwhile nickname for any of those.

    I've always been called Mel by my family and some friends. I've never liked being called Missy, but I do allow one long time friend call me that. On occasion people will call me Meliss. H calls me either by my name or wifey.
  • You might die if you call me Katherine...so I go by katie. A few really close ppl call me Kate. I used to get called by my last name a lot and hated that....so glad I changed it when I got married.
  • Most people just call me Amanda. My mom calls me Mand, some people call me Schwab.

  • I don't really have a blanket nickname, since my name sort of sounds like a nickname.

    Both of my brothers and I have always been called my maiden name by lots of friends- but I think they only do that because they are proud of themselves for being able to pronounce it.

    I have a million other nicknames, depending on who I'm with, including my new LN.

    The longest lasting NN is Bear (short for Care Bear.) I've been called that for most of my life. Two of my best friends from college call me Bear so much that their kids think that's my name, and I love it!

  • I don't think there are nicknames for Leah. I would very quickly correct someone if they tried calling me Lee. I do not like that.

    My mom and siblings call me Lee-La. Cuz when my siblings were little that's just how they said my name and now that's what they call me. I love it that I have a little nickname from them
