Nicknames

[ashadelic.livejournal.com]

A reply I made in a post before got me to thinking-- I have a nickname for nearly every person of significance in my life, and have since I was little. Nicknames intrigue me almost as much as real names, so I thought I'd share some nicknames of people in my life past and present and hopefully find some interesting stories from you all. Here they are!

My nicknames past/present:
ReRe, Ash, Ash-o-li, Andy, Ashy, Ash-head, Assy, Crashly, Dink, Ink Dink, Dinkster, Inky Dinky Do, Sis, Sister Sue, Leelee, Turdhead(that one's from my grandpa--there's a nice story about it in my personal journal around December 5th last year)

Nicknames I have given:
Lindsey: Ging
Casey: Cake-ee
Erica: Urk
Katie: Katie Kat
Josh: Dosh
Nick: Nickoli
Izrael: Izo


Other nicknames of people I know:
Stephanie: Zippity*
Jennifer: Ferfer*
Emily: Emmy/ Emmaweewee*
Elyse: Weezy*
Stacia: Stay-uh*
Angie: Gigi*
Jessica: JP
Samantha: Sambo
Micah: Mikey
Anthony: Anto

*denotes people I currently work with at a preschool, hence the childish nature of most of the nicknames... they were gained because that's what children called them, this includes Leelee and Assy under my nicknames.

And speaking of my dog's name, I call the dog of the Jess refered to above "Shrimp Scampi". His name is "Scamp".
I'm sort of lame. I wonder if anyone else has nicknames for pets, though, which is why I brought it up.

I have nicknames for pets. My current dogs name is Dexter and he is almost always called Dexy or Dexy Doodle. Our previous dog was named Kiwi and I always called her Tweeter.
