My name is Katherine, and I get called Kate most of the time. I spell it Kayt, because I was twelve and annoying and one of six Kate/Katies in my class. My family also calls me Katie Beth, because they are from Oklahoma, and you can't not have two names around them. My mother is Margo Lee, I'm Katie Beth, my sister is Amy Meg (gag), and my dad is Brett Alan.

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.

Alyssa Jeane is my name. My immediate family calls me Lys or Lyssa. It's strange to me if my friends ever call me Lys or Lyssa. Most of my friends do call me Boob though. That nickname started in high school, my senior year, when I randomly called someone a boob and my friends thought it was such a ridiculous insult that they started calling me Boob to tease me.

Hi Tay!

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.

Talia here so while I didnt really get any nicknames, my husband affectionately refers to me as "Tally".

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*

Adrienne = A

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 (???)

Melie is cute, too! She's also been called Meals, Meemers, Munchikin, and Mimikins.

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.

I'm Hannah, but you can call me Fishy, or Hannahfish.

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

Oh, and some of my old friends from elementary school still call me QFB (Queen Fried Banana) because one day I brought in fried bananas.

(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...)

The name's Kelsey Berwick, so I get Kelsey B, Kelso, Kels Vader, Kelsinator, Kelsey Grammar, Kel, Kels, Berwick, Brrwick, Lady Berwick (my great-grandmother is technically the Duchess of Berwick, but the title's not worth much more than a plaque), Robin, Thumper, and Superwoman.

I'm Lindsay Rebecca, so mostly I get called Linds by my friends. My older brother calls me Lin, and my parents call me "Binz," which is what my brother called me when he was 2-1/2 and couldn't say Lindsay.

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.

Oh, and in high school, a couple of my friends used to refer to me as 'Lindsay Becky' because they thought it was SOOOO funny. It really wasn't, but I didn't care that much. I just dislike the name Becky (but I like the name Bekki, short for Rebekah. Hmmm).

I hate it when people make mangled versions of your name and call them nicknames. My mother's family is all from Oklahoma, so everyone has to have two names. Katherine Elizabeth becomes Katie Beth, which is bad enough, but my aunt actually calls my sister Amy Meg. Lindsay Becky is in the same boat, I daresay.

I'm Kathryn. My parents call me Kate or Katie, and I went by Katie until second grade, when I started going by Kathryn; in sixth grade my friends called me Kathryn/Kath and then in seventh grade, someone chopped off the 'h' and I became Kat.

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).

My full name is Melinda and almost everyone calls me Mindy. My Grandma Rose used to call me Mindy Mouse and my Grandpa is fond of calling me Min.

I recently found that my other grandma whose name is Mary Elizabeth was called Bethie as a child. I thought that was cute:)

I just wanted to comment to this because my name is Tailea pronounced tay-lee and I've never seen or heard of anyone with the same name as me. I had a bit of an OMG moment. lol

My family used to call me Tai or Tai-Tai when I was younger but it's pretty much just Tailea now.

Embarrassingly enough, my nickname since birth has been Lori-Pie (cuz I was so sweet). I'm 31 and I'm still a dessert, go figure. My friends call me Lawrence (and sing this silly song about Lawrence of Arabia). I also answer to Lolo (because I had a boss who couldn't committ to saying Lori), and occasionaly Lola after the song by the Kinks.

Im Brittany and I go by alotttt haha. I've had Britt, Bri, Bree-Wee, BritBrit, BritBritBananas (...yeahdon'task :P), when my sisters were really young they called me Bits, Bitsy, which eventually turned into Brits, and Britsy, and well.. Reptar. haha. There are a select few that actually call me that in real life. It's my myspace name, and now I've noticed that I can never really ever change it because too many people know which Britt's being talked about by "Reptar". oh it's bad :P

I'm Laura Elizabeth.

I get Lolzabeth, Lolzy, Lolz, Lol, Loz, Loldee etc etc.

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.

I also get Little Britches from my grandad because I'm small and Madam Mim the Second from my uncle because my cousin is Madam Mim the first.

I'm Louise, and in high school I used to be called Weezie or Weeze by my close friends (Lou-WEEZE :P) but now I get called Elle more than anything, and it's my personal preferred nickname. Started off with people saying "L" to address me, and Elle just evolved from there :P

I'm Kate, and there aren't a huge amount of nicknames to go from that!
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!
