lice (named after the insect)
malice
phalice (named after phallus)
calice (named after callous)
celia (same letters from your name. named after cilia which means: hairlike structures on microscopic organelles)
there. i just gave you a frame of reference. relative to those you should find amazingness in your next nickname by default
Well unlike high school where i somehow became fairly popular middle school was the opposite i was short for my age so the first year I was Stumpy Mc No Legs. Then came the realisation that my last name rhymed with cunt so that lasted a while.
In High School I had a mate who thought I looked more like a John or Johnny than a sam we came up with a cheesy action hero name Johnny fever. next thing I know I'm known as Johhny Fever By pretty much everyone, it got to the point that I went skating one time and got asked if I wanted to go for a drink with this really cute scene girl I recognised from school who called me it thinking it was my actual name, she actually seemed dissapointed when she found out it wasn't
Don't worry you're not being insensitive at all :)
I went through a jesus stage. I'd only just srarted to be able to grow a full beard so I was really growing it out and I had long hair. I got out of the bath one day and was freezing so I wrapped myself in a towel and got a blurry glimpse of myself in the steamed up mirror, it was a fat jesus.
haha yeah. I felt temped to keep the hair just for that reason. Ive cut my hair, lost weight and only keep stubble since then (despite my pic, its old) unfortunatly overweight messy fauxhawk stubble jesus doesn't have the same ring to it....or make sense .hmmm..... actually I like it.
Ah... I didn't really have a nickname until just recently...
My name contains three syllables. My sister's name has two. In her nickname, the last syllable is removed and replaced with an "s". In my nickname, the last syllable is also removed and also replaced with an "s". But... It's still pretty long because it's still two parts unlike my sister's.
Then, I changed it on my own by removing the first syllable and the "s".
Most people just call me "E." I guess that is the only shortened way to say my name. My dad has called me E for as long as I can remember. I don't know why. Its weird to have someone who you don't know that well call you by your nickname. Nick names are usually pretty lame.
Back when I was a roady, I as known as Packrat, because if someone needed something, I probably had one in my kit.
I've not really had a nick name since I left the music business, at least one people called me to my face. However, I'm sure many of my crew had some choice names for me, at times, that I never heard.
