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.
