"Different" Nicknames

[tinylittlestars.livejournal.com]

Who do you know that has a nickname they are commonly known by that is in no way related to their name?

My friend Mark goes by "Juggs" or "Jugsy" which relates to an embarrassing story from when he was younger, and my best friend Raechel goes by "Reeko" which is a 'punk name' her younger brother and sister made up for her.

My mom, whose name is Andrea, goes by Cookie because when she was really little, she would not answer to Andrea, only if someone said "cookie!" to her, lol. She likes cookies a lot.

My dad went by Hoss to a lot of his friends, lol. Never understood why.

I also have a friend named Kaban who goes by Ibbie.
