Hello stackers
Did you have an embarassing childhood name? Did you like it? How did you get it? Who nicknamed you? What was your feeling? One of my friend's nickname is "PANY". When i at first listened it i thought, the spelling would be Penny. Later i came to know that PANY means sharp in literal hindi and she was a energetic kid who speaks a lot her in childhood so her father named her "PANY".
My landlord's daughter name was "CHU CHU" I laughed out loud when i first listened to it. Her father named her that because her voice was soft and low like a bird.
Funny part is that, my brother was in kindergarden at that time and her miss taught him a poem and the phrase was like-
Chu chu karti chidiya aayi .....chawal doodh batasha laayi...
( Translation; sparrow came while making voice chu chu.... she bring rice and milk with her)
He kept on singing the rhyme for whole day and mum telling him to lower his voice or change the poem. :D
"Pete The Knife", because I was so skinny.
At the time I didn't feel embarrassed about it. But I do now... because that nickname is no longer accurate...

It's a cool nick name, doesn't count for an embarrassing story
reply
I think you misunderstood why it's now embarrassing. :)
reply
No, I got it, but still, it's not like skinny Pete or something. If someone asks why friends call you Pete the Knife you can always tell an exciting story how you survived alone in the woods for 3 weeks with just a knife or something similar:))

My Chinese teacher used to call me Rooster’s Head because I would lie down during his lesson and then sit up with my hair all disheveled 🤣

My intermediate school classmates called me "Milk". This became my nickname for quite some time. The famous advertisement is the sound that you will hear when they on heckling mode. All I can do is pretend that I am not having it.

Yes, in my childhood... they made fun of my nose because of its size and they called me big-nosed!! 🤥 It made me feel bad, luckily later on I got a girlfriend when I was a teenager and she told me that she loved my nose... and that she found it attractive! Nowadays I am happy and it doesn't affect my self-esteem or anything... (Mind you, I'm still with the same girl from my teenage years 😉)

you found true love.

Lol. What was yours? Someone called me empty pants and that stuck for a while. I’ll let you guess how enjoyable that was for me. The gifter of that wonderful nickname was a poor, large, fat kid who had a tendency to pick on others in order to feel better about himself on occasion.
reply
Empty pants!! But why??
reply
Empt pants is like saying that I have no dick. He said it because it was hurtful.
reply
Don't you feel bad now?
reply
Why would I choose to feel bad?

My childhood nickname was “Doctor.”
I wish it was because I was smart or something but my coaches1 gave me the name because I broke so many bones growing up.
