Date: 2007-08-13 05:06 pm (UTC)So, in high school, there was another Katherine Elizabeth in my friend group. They called her Foster (her last name), and I got called "Y", as in "Kate with a Y". Now that I'm older, I mainly go by Kayt, but some people from work call me Kaye. They can't figure out the difference between Kate and Katie. I can't stand being called Katie, so I tell them to call me Kaye instead.
My sister's name is Amelia Margaret. We called her Mimi when she was small because I couldn't pronounce Amelia. I'd get stuck on the "me" part, like, "A-memememememe". Her friends at school call her Aimes, or Emilio. The family calls her Me-la. When she was in kindergarten, she decided she hated Amelia, and started signing things with Maggie, from her middle name. She will never live it down.

Date: 2007-08-13 06:31 pm (UTC)I really like the name Amelia. I've sworn that if Mela gets cool again (she's 16. Need I explain?) I'm using Amelia as a middle name. It amuses me how popular it's getting. Mela's sixteen, and she was one of three kids in her whole school named Amelia. She hated it, of course. Now, it's getting more and more popular.

Date: 2007-08-13 05:44 pm (UTC)Well, growing up, I went by my middle name, Fonta. In an effort to escape the Real World, I began playing online games and going by Alisa. I had the nickname Ali from people online, and eventually, as I met and became "real world" friends with many of them, I dropped Fonta and now only family and family friends call me Fonta.
I was born in Oklahoma, and raised in California. My high school bf was also Okie and had the two-name thing going on, so he'd call me Fonta Mae because he said it needed a Mae.
With the whole two name thing (as in Alisa McCoy and Fonta McCoy) some friends thought it funny that depending on my mood I was either AM or FM, thus started calling me Radio (also Dio, Rady and Ray).
My daughter Cadence goes by more names than God, so I won't list them all, but the most frequent are Cadie, Cadiebug, and Bugbutt (Grandpa's nickname for her)
Posting on my iPhone, forgive any typos.

Date: 2007-08-13 06:00 pm (UTC)Since my initials were T.A.G. growing up (yes done on purpose), my whole family calls me tag-a-long...even at my wedding....*grimace*
no subject
Date: 2007-08-13 06:07 pm (UTC)people think it's an initial, but it's the whole freaking first syllable of my name! if benjamin = ben, and christopher = chris, then why oh why do people insist on writing A. or "A" instead of just plain A (???)

Date: 2007-08-13 06:36 pm (UTC)This was started by my high school English teacher after I wrote a short piece (and several follow ups) on the various lives and personalities of my fish. It stuck, and now my college friends and my parents call me by it.
Sometimes I get Hannie (which I despise) and my parents used to call me Binky. I don't know why, just that it has nothing to do with pacifiers

Date: 2007-08-13 06:41 pm (UTC)(and of course, it sorta goes without saying that I get called Hannah-Banana, which I deal with, but I HATE when people say "hey, did you know your name rhymes with banana?" I'm 19, I think I've got it figured out by now...)

Date: 2007-08-13 09:14 pm (UTC)I also get "Shirley" from my mom's side of the family, because my aunt's best friend (who is practically another member of the family) is named Lynne, and it gets confusing. So I get called Shirley, since I was only about 6 months old when she "joined" the family and I didn't have much say in this.

Date: 2007-08-13 11:09 pm (UTC)I'll answer to just about anything, but I mostly get Kat, Kitty, Kittens, and Kit-Kat from my friends. In class I tell my teachers to call me Kathryn, but I look up the teacher calls just about any K name (after often being mistaken for a Katie/Kate/Kaitlyn/Kathlynn in previous grades).

Date: 2007-08-14 03:26 am (UTC)My family used to call me Tai or Tai-Tai when I was younger but it's pretty much just Tailea now.

Date: 2007-08-14 04:07 am (UTC)Sadly enough I've heard of one other Taylee it was one of my ex-boyfriends, mom's weiner dog (had it before i met him) I wanted to kick her for naming it that.
Well, I must say you have a very pretty name Tailea!!

My mum calls me Lolly, Polly or Polly Wolly Doodle
My dad calls me Widget, which I am told is a cross between a wiggle and a fidget.

Date: 2007-08-14 06:02 pm (UTC)Unrealated to my name I got:
Afro or 'Fro or The 'Fro in school cause of my hair, and that stuck for a while. Not really by any of my close friends, but the boys I sat with on the bus!
Bob because my surname is Mortimer and my best friend's surname begins with R, and the boss thought it would be hilarious to call us Bob and Vic after Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves. That was almost 6 years ago and I still occasionally get called Bob. & I quite like it, so I use it almost all of my screen names!
Thats about it really!
