What's in a nickname...?
Watch out, people. Over the last couple of days I've been getting inklings of inspiration for several blog posts... No promises, but I might become prolific one of these days. :)
After being with my family for four days (okay, 3.25, to be exact) over Easter weekend, the sounds of the strange nicknames that can be heard echoing in the halls of the King estate are still ringing in my ears. Here is a sampling (I will refrain from indicating who gets called what by whom):
Doodlebug
Squirt
Punkydoodle
Bonky Bird
Squirt Blossom
Woo
Antinha ("Little Anteater" in Portuguese)
Dandelion
Butch (for the record, this does not refer to me)
What are some of the nicknames you've been given or seen fit to bless others with over the years?

There was a period of time in my teens when I attempted to be known as "Hot Stuff". It didn't take.
Spiderwoman, curly cue ( my mother gave me an afro in 3rd grade) pumpkin, baby, my uncle always referred to me as his "boy". Boy did I prove him wrong!
Dan, please do!
I am a namer. Here are many of the names that I have blessed people with -- wonderful people from my life, past and present:
Pug, Ferret, Golden Boy, Pinhead, Tiny Dancer, Nature Boy, J-Boy, Buckethead, Enforcer, Metro, Sport, Hoss, Bugbear, Pook, Pokey Little Puppy, Bubba Head, Boss, Johnny Revolution, Pee Pants Perky, Pudsucker, Jake, ShelleyGirl, Superstar, Soulman, Beanie Weenie Express, Stinky, Slappy, Princess, Bobster, Booger Bean, Hot Lips, and a few other names I'll keep to myself.
And for this blog host alone: Little K, Bizarro Girl, Wee Avenger, Nasty Gremlin, and all kinds of two word-combos beginning with the word "Little," because she is my honorary little sister and because she is wee.
And I am, now and forevermore, Love Caddy B-Dawg, The Forlorn Moonpuppy.
Let's see, my parents shortened my nickname "pumpkin" to punky, which proved to be embarrassing when the busted that out in later years. Rosieboo was an elementary school nickname I'm resurrected when I began my internet life. Of late, my friends have shortened it to Boo.
Oh! You reminded me of another one...I'll go add it now...
If you haven't been fortunate enough to receive your very own, one-of-a-kind nickname from Bobby, don't worry because you can create one for yourself. Here's how:
1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name:
a = snickle

c = goober
d = cheesey
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = dumbo
h = farcus
i = dorky
j = doofus
k = funky
l = boobie
m = sleezy
n = sloopy
o = fluffy
p = stinky
q = slimy
r = dorfus
s = snooty
t = tootsie
u = dipsy
v = sneezy
w = liver
x = skippy
y = dinky
z = zippy
2. Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:
a = dippin
b = feather
c = batty
d = burger
e = chicken
f = barffy
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = farkle
j = monkey
k = flippin
l = fricken
m = bubble
n = rhino
o = potty
p = hamster
q = buckle
r = gizzard
s = lickin
t = snickle
u = chuckle
v = pickle
w = hubble

3. Use the third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:

Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is:

I don't understand any of this and it's making me very nervous.
This has been Harvey Brown.
Dearest Blog Readers and Commentors,
I hereby decree that you shall all decipher and commence to use your personalized nickname.
Sincerely,
Dorfus Farkledunkin
(Yikes!)
Dipsy Rhinobutt! I don't like that. I think I'll stick with the classic - Laura Bethie Bug.
I would protest, if I weren't laughing so hard.
-Snooty Chickenbutt
Snooty, yours is the best so far.
I've had Toots and Mills. My Mom likes to call me Terri and Connie a lot, but I don't think those count because those are my sisters and she's just getting confused. ("Terri, I mean Connie, I mean... you know what your name is!") Thanks for making me laugh out loud :)
Sincerely-
Boobie Frickenbutt
Ok..i'm searching for said blog about the allergy problem in Louisville, and I got distracted by this one..
First some of mine: my dad used to call me Doodlesquat for a long time (til someone told him it meant chicken poo) Em, Ems, Miss Em, Litle Girl, Midge, and a host of other height deficiency related ones. My least favorite of all time though is Emmy (unless its my mom)
Next... you really need to tell me which is Andrew so I can leave it on his facebook!
